Eureka! Spire LX Two-Burner Camping Stove

This was our first extended camping trip by ourselves, so my husband and I had a lot of gear to buy. We weren't thrilled with Coleman stoves because of all the Prop 65 warnings and how they tell you to wash your hands after just touching the stove. We were going to be cooking our food on the thing and wanted something a little... I don't know, safer for food?We saw the Eureka grill in our local REI which looked cool but wasn't exactly what we wanted, even though it was missing all the warnings that Coleman stoves had. On the box of the grill though, we saw a picture of this stove so we came home and hunted it down just in time for our camping trip (really I just loved the color). We bought the bag for it, too, and I love the combo. Having somewhere secure to keep the stove and fuel that isn't just a box was surprisingly handy.I have never in my life used a camp stove so I was really surprised at how easy it was to set up and get going. One thing to note (as other reviewers have taken issue with this)-- the left burner will not ignite unless the right burner is already going. You do not need to use a match and it isn't broken. The right burner is the dominant one (kind of like with some toasters) so the left burner won't ignite properly until the right one is already going. Not a big deal, at all, and definitely not a unique feature. I imagine it's probably a safety thing so you don't blow up your face, or something.The ability to adjust your flame is a huge plus for this stove. Again, I've not used another camp stove but I can't imagine it being any easier to fine-tune your flame for whatever you're cooking. We also had no problems seeing the flame in daylight as another reviewer did-- maybe they were running low on fuel?My two gripes with the stove are: 1. only one side securely attaches to a wind screen, the other side doesn't "lock" or settle into place, it just slides over the little latch and sits there. Consequently the left side is somewhat wobbly, but we found it to not be an issue at all while using the stove 2x/ day for one week. The second complaint is that the windscreens have a gap underneath, so they do not protect the flame from wind and are therefore pretty useless because the flame burns in line with the gap.Overall though, the stove is excellent: easy to set up/ break down, easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to carry with the (separate) carrying bag.

Used it's a in Utah 30 to 15 degree weather the starter gave out but and wouldn't start but just used a lighter or a match to get it started and worked fine,

I had a Coleman for camping and had difficulty with burning or undercooking all the time. I watched a youtube video about this one and thought it could be the answer - it was! I love it. I've made meals from Hello Fresh (perfect for camping by the way) and even kept water warm for cleaning the dishes later. Definitely recommend this one.The only update I'd like to see is a wider wind block on the sides.

Slow simmered hot sausage, peppers and onions in a cast Iron skillet for and hour and a half. Lights easy, has adjustable feet for leveling and has more flame adjustment than your home stove. Will be using it at home for outdoor cooking !

Also purchased the hose to connect to a 20 lb LP tank and set it on our table outside of our camper. Works great. Easy to adjust the heat from high to low heat.

I really love this stove. It is very fuel efficient and I love the Jet Boil technology in it. At first, I couldn’t get it to light with the igniter knob—the instructions could be a little more clear about how to do this with the LX model. After opening the right burner control valve all the way, I had to turn the igniter knob several times quickly to get it to light. There needs to be a video that shows how this works. Also, the print in the instructions is so fine that it is barely readable, especially when trying to set up camp in the dark.

I bought this stove a couple of month ago, but used it only once. I have had 3 major issues with this stove, and I am taking steps to return it. First the ignition does not work. One of the main reason to buy this unit is the fact that you do not need a lighter. Second the rubber feet are made of cheap rubber that will stain and live marks on anything you put it on. Third since you can't see the flame, at least in day light, it is virtually impossible to tell how strong the flame is.

This past weekend we went to Fall Creek Falls State Park in Tennessee for 3 days and we took our new stove with us. First up it's pretty, I know color shouldn't matter, but I like the lime green. Secondly it's so easy to use. The last camp stove I used (which was ages ago) was an old school one. I so didn't want to deal with fuel so we upgraded, and I'm glad we did.Getting it lit was easy once I read the instructions (duh), and it took 3-4 clicks of the ignition switch/knob to get it to light. I love how adjustable the flame is. I was able to bring a large pot of water up to boil in no time and then turn it to a simmer just like if I was at home.I used it several times a day for 3 days and I still had an almost full bottle of propane when we packed up. That's fantastic. The propane was easy to hook up, and easy to uninstall. The cook area is big enough to fit my big 9 inch cast iron skillet and a medium sized pot on the second burner. It didn't include a carrying case, but it does have a hand grip on the backside. The rubber feet made it stay put while I was cooking away. I was worried it wouldn't light well in cold temps since it was 40 F in the mornings there, but it lit right up. The wind screens do leave a small gap, but it didn't impede it's rate of cooking or getting lit.Since it's metal, I also put on the inside of the lid a small magnetic can opener & bottle opener since we always forget them. I would recommend this stove. It is a bit pricey, but IMO it's worth it.
