Hot water for competition cook sites
From time to time (or as required by organizers) we need to do the dishes. We are a small outfit with 2 drums and a Bandera knock off. Under normal cooking, none of our cookers really get hot enough to come close to either boiling or really hot water. We've been carrying around an old Coleman camp stove to get boiling water when the dirty dishes call. It works ok, but is really, really slow. Does anyone have any experience with the Coleman hot water heater that runs on the small 1 pound propane canisters? The reviews on line are mixed at best. Looks like Mr. Heater is coming out with one as well. Thanks!

We just bought one of these for competing:

We used a Coleman water heater for three years. It works great, and when I had a problem with the ignitor Coleman replaced it at no cost. I put the intake hose into a 7 gallon water container but there is also a hose attachment.

We've had our Coleman about 3 years now. I had a few issues with bad connections to the battery and it not charging, so last year I bought 2 or 3 spare batteries. I make sure they're all charged shortly befor we intend to use them. Whe the new camper we shouldn't have to worry about that, at least for a while
Read the directions though before using. One "feature" that seems really silly to me is the unit will not function when the charger is cord is connected |

http://www.eccotemp.com/eccotemp-l5-...-water-heater/ Check this out, I just got one for $135 including shipping from Wayfair, or the cheapest route is you could boil water in giant stock pot and store it in one of those 5 Gal igloo drink coolers.

The exhaust pipe looks like an add on. The turkey fryer with a stock pot with a spigot is how my son's boy scout troop rolls. |
We use the Ez Tankless one and have had no problems with it. If you do a search on Youtube you can find a video on how to mount the setup onto handtrucks for even easier portability.
