Our take on the Explorer

The Camp Chef Explorer 14 is a portable propane camp stove with two or three 30,000 BTU burners, built to run the Camp Chef 14-inch accessory system. That burner output is high for a camp stove, so it can boil, sear and run a griddle or grill box rather than just warm cans. It suits car campers, tailgaters and group cooks who want a modular outdoor kitchen. Against basic two-burner stoves it is heavier and bulkier, and the accessories are sold separately, but owners rate its heat and build well.

Questions and answers

How much cooking power does the Explorer 14 have?
Each burner puts out 30,000 BTU, which is high for a camp stove and enough for searing, boiling and running a griddle.
Does it work with Camp Chef 14-inch accessories?
Yes. It is the base for the Camp Chef 14-inch cooking system, so a griddle, grill box or pizza oven can be added.
Should I get the two- or three-burner version?
The two-burner is lighter and enough for most couples and small families. The three-burner suits groups cooking several dishes at once.
Is it good for backpacking?
No. It is a car-camping and tailgating stove; its size and weight make it unsuitable for carrying on foot.
What do I need to run it?
A propane supply and a level surface. The stove itself is the base unit; cooking accessories are separate.
Where is the Explorer cheapest?
At Camp Chef, for $159.99, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the Explorer?
Rated 4.3 out of 5 from 78 ratings.
