What stove would you choose for your teardrop?

Anything to do with mechanical, construction etc

Yeah, they make them large enough to heat a house!

I guess I am getting into this conversation a little late, but I really like that Rocket Stove Deryk.

In my teardrop I had a Camp Chef on 100# drawer slides and really liked it:

The campchef does make an excellant stove/oven. I have it on my boat and use it daily, but the rocket stove does have a certain appeal, never haveing to worry about running out of fuel lol, Im also guessing in the colder times of the year people could sit around it for warmth.

Is that camp chef bolted or otherwise secured to the drawer base? A full oven wouldn't be that bad...

What about nesting two sets of drawer slides, for example, so a 24" base has a 22" cabinet pull out with more counter space, and then the 22" cabinet has another set of slides that the camp chef sits on? the 22" cabinet could be set up with a door or open side so when the stove is extended, the empty space inside the middle unit could be used to store stuff (trash bag or other stuff like Tupperware boxes of kitchen equipment that could sit on the countertop when driving), but some latching mechanism would be needed to ensure the units are not closed accidentily.

4 screws at the bottom held the oven in the drawer base.
