I like mine. I'm adding the Frank Condelli "VW" grates to keep my coffee pot
and other smaller-than-the-stock-grate-opening-above-the-burner .... from
falling through or tipping. Other than that, likely because I'm single and
just cook for myself, it works quite well and the propane lasts a couple
"seasons", even with the propane heater use.

Hey all,
Anybody know the BTU output of the westy stove burners?

I am thinking 6-10 K btu each?

Interesting Coleman has a two burner propane camp stove at Costco for $69
that has, get this 24000 btus per burner!  thats quite a bit. My dacor home
cooktop has two 14k and two 8k burners. most camp stoves are 8k to 10k per
burner.

How do you all feel about the burner output on the westy stove?  sufficient?

Thanks,

Doug
