Weber "Q" would work great. Your second one listed by Charbroil is junk and a PITA. I speak from experience with the Charbroil.

Also a Colman two burner camp stover would work well also. What type of house are you cooking in?

You can find better pricing but here is what they look like.

I use either the propane grill (not sure on the brand) or a single burner like this one:

I love the grill and use it all the time without any troubles. The single burner works good with a smaller diameter pan for heating up some chili or stew. Not the best for a large pan trying to cook six eggs...can get a little tipsy.

I keep a single burner butane stove in the boat for shore lunch. These use a butane cylinder & we get around 1 to 1-1/2 hour cook time out a cylinder. They are very lightweight. Here is a similar product:

I got one of them wire thing-a-ma-jigs on my sunflower heater one way is vertical tip a quarter turn and you can cook on it.

I've been using a Mr. Heater Cooker like this for several years:

I use a Camp Chef single burner butane stove. About $26.00 and very compact

I have this:

I haul it to the duck blind with me on almost every trip. Many times i'm carring it or hauling it up to a mile. So it is lightweight and very convenient.

I have the carry bag and griddle accessories, I cook up eggs, bacon, sausage, and pancakes in the blind. Lots of days breakfast sandwiches to get a little of each.

Jfrase10, I use a Mr. heater/cooker in my portable shack because I have an 11# tank attached by hose from my sled. So it can serve dual purpose heat and cook simple meals. But I do have one of those Butane stoves that Big Popi mentioned. They really cook well and you can even get a cast iron griddle to fit on top. Also they have the electronic ignition to light which is nice. I use one of those torch "barbecue grill" type lighters to light my Mr. Cooker. I like to keep my hands away from that sudden burst of gas when it ignites. Lou

thanks for all the input guys some really great options. I think ill start out with a coleman two burner and a griddle and go from there

I have an eskimo ff949i and if I cook inside it will clearly have the doors open and vents. Other than worrying about melting the thing has anyone had any other experience or warnings like is my shanty going to permanently smell like bacon (because I could live with that )... I will keep it outside on calm days near the shanty otherwise ill have it in a safe location in the shanty.
