Review of Grill Boss 90057 Dual Fuel Camp Stove

Here’s my personal observation and experience with this product:

Areas of Usage

The Grill Boss 90057 Dual Fuel Camp Stove is a portable camp stove that is designed for outdoor cooking and camping adventures.

With its innovative design and practical features, the Grill Boss 90057 is a popular choice among outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy camping, picnicking, tailgating, and other outdoor activities where portable cooking is essential.

Features

One of the standout features of the Grill Boss 90057 camp stove is its dual fuel capability, which allows users to choose between propane and butane as fuel sources.

This flexibility provides outdoor cooks with options depending on their preferences, availability of fuel sources, and desired flavor profiles for their cooked meals.

Propane is known for its convenience, as it is readily available in portable fuel canisters and offers instant ignition and easy temperature control.

On the other hand, butane is favored by many for its traditional smoky flavor and the nostalgic experience of cooking over an open flame.

With the Grill Boss 90057, you can easily switch between propane and butane, making it a versatile camp stove that can adapt to your cooking needs and preferences.

Build Quality

The camp stove is built to last, with a sturdy steel frame that can withstand the rigors of outdoor use. The frame is designed with a powder-coated finish, which provides added protection against rust and corrosion, ensuring durability and longevity. 

The Grill Boss 90057 camp stove features an easy ignition system with a piezo igniter, allowing for quick and reliable ignition without the need for matches or lighters.

Simply turn the knob, and the burners will ignite, making it convenient to start your cooking quickly. This feature eliminates the need for additional ignition tools and ensures a hassle-free cooking experience in the great outdoors.

Burner

The Grill Boss 90057 has a single burner. With a single-burner camping stove, you can easily prepare camping meals in the great outdoors. The stove is easy to set up and operate, and you can cook a variety of foods with it, including soups, stews, pasta, and more.

The burner on this stove is not too big but not too small as well, Also, unlike other expensive options, a single burner like Grill Boss 90057 is less expensive than a full-sized stove or range, making it a great option for those on a budget or those who don’t need a lot of cooking space.

The burner on Grill Boss 90057, typically uses less energy than a full-sized stove as there’s a knob to control the flame. In addition to this, it can be used for a variety of cooking tasks, including boiling water, simmering sauces, and frying food, making it a versatile addition to any outdoor cooking setup.

The frame alongside the burner compartment also serves as a windshield from one side, this allows you to keep the flame at the lowest level for simmering.

Compact Size

It also takes up less space than a full-sized stove, which can be particularly useful for those with small kitchens or limited storage space. With 13.5″L x 11.5″W x 4.5″H dimensions, it’s

While talking about the weight of Grill Boss 90057, I’m excited to share that it weighs only 8 ounces, which is ultralight I would say. And this is definitely due to the fact that the material used in constructing this stove.

In addition to this, due to the less weight of Grill Boss 90057, it is highly efficient and can heat up quickly. This means that you can cook your meals in less time and with less fuel, which can save you money and reduce your environmental impact.

Also, using a lightweight camping stove is much safer than building a campfire. The stove is enclosed, which reduces the risk of fire, and you don’t have to worry about sparks or embers flying out of the fire.

We can’t overlook to mention that due to its lightweight, it is more environmentally friendly than traditional campfires. It produces less smoke and leaves less of an impact on the environment.

Dual Fuel Options

There aren’t many low-budget stoves on the market that offer dual fuel options. I’m amazed that Grill Boss still does a good job of supporting butane and propane cartridges on the side compartment with the help of a lever.

However, for installing the propane gas line, it takes a little bit of hard work. There are instructions inside the box to switch between different fuel options.

Should You Buy Grill Boss 90057 or Not?

I can conclude the review by saying that the Grill Boss 90057 stove is the right choice if you are low on budget and need a lightweight camping stove to accompany you on your trip.

And based on the fact that there’s a knob to control the flame and it supports butane and propane at the same time, I think Grill Boss 90057 is worth buying. The overall build quality needs to be improved, but a lightweight stove like this is always made up of mediocre-quality material.
