Camp Chef Yukon Double Burner Stove

Very good stove. It should last you for many years.  We had the similar model stove for years. DH used it for many years for family and BSA outings before finally donating it to son’s college team. We then downgraded to the Camp Chef Everest 2 burner stove. 20,000btu’s per burner. If don’t already have one, I recommend you get the carry bag, so much easier to store. Enjoy

I have the Camp Chef Everest 2 as well and love it.  The only issue or complaint I have with the stove is the spark igniter is very difficult to engage.

If you bought it at REI take it back. Or call or email Camp Chef and get a replacement igniter. We bought our carry bag at Bass Pro Shop, also saw them at Sportsman’s Warehouse. 

Bought at REI.  I'll take it back and get a replacement!

I communicated with Camp Chef on the igniter and the rotary igniter is out of stock for two months.  They offered to send me a stove bag and utensils for the inconvenience.  Total value of items around $45!

Score!

We got a Camp Chef Ranger II Blind Stove . It's fantastic. Except that if it gets in any way wet, it starts to rust. We contacted Camp Chef, who blew us off about it. So, we used a scrubber to get rid of the rust and some high temperature spray paint. So far, so good.

But beware...

I looked at the Yukon and was concerned about the weight. It is a very nice system when you incorporate the accessories. I eventually bought the Ranger II for our rig and it fits nicely in the corner of our 2285 slide. The Ranger II at 17 lbs, less than half the Yukon's weight, isn't a lightweight but I know the blind stove works well for it's planned use. I can't say I've needed more than it's 34,000 BTU output and I hope I'll say the same when family starts camping with us. I agree that the castings need occasion attention if the Ranger gets wet. 

 Got the Ranger II after seeing Simon’s 

Now I'm hungry for french fries....

Over the years we have acquired the 2 burner model as well as the 3 burner set up. The camp chef grills are heavy.  The associated cast iron fry grills are very heavy.  I have never taken either out camping unless it was with a large group.  For just the two of us they are way oversized.  When we have cooked for large groups we were able to keep both units running full out and would cook enough, fast enough to feed an army.  Pancakes on one, eggs and bacon on the other.

Me too!

Your Yukon looks great - but kinda large! If you can make room to store and transport it then I’m sure it’s a good unit.

Another Everest user here. Excellent stove and I really like being able to cook everything outdoors during the summer. The storage bag is super practical for dealing with transporting the stove.
