The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the Coleman Cascade 3-in-1 is the consensus camp-cooking pick because it isn't really a dedicated grill, it's a two-burner camp stove that swaps in cast-iron grill and griddle plates. outdoorgearlab.com (high trust) calls out the burner racks as hefty and durable, and r/CampingGear threads describe the larger pan compatibility and cast-iron grate as meaningful upgrades over the cheaper Coleman Classic if you cook frequently. The honest disagreement lives in r/overlanding, where one comparison thread argues the Camp Chef EV 2X has roughly 50% more heat output per burner, a more reliable igniter, better wind performance, and sturdier build, a direct shot at the Cascade.
What reviewers liked
- outdoorgearlab.com praises burner-rack durability and overall build
- Included cast-iron grill and griddle plates make it a genuine 3-in-1, called out in r/CampingGear
- Strong 4.6-star Amazon average across 427 reviews
- r/camping threads describe it as sturdier and better in wind than budget alternatives like Ozark
- 24,000 BTU two-burner output suits real camp meals for a group
Where it falls short
- r/overlanding thread argues Camp Chef EV 2X outperforms it on heat, ignition reliability, and wind
- r/CampingGear commenter calls the included griddles too heavy with too-low lips
- Heavier than single-burner tabletops, less ideal for tight pack space
- More of a camp stove than a true grill, sear performance is not its strength
Across the reviewers we read, the Coleman Cascade 3-in-1 is the consensus camp-cooking pick because it isn't really a dedicated grill, it's a two-burner camp stove that swaps in cast-iron grill and griddle plates. outdoorgearlab.com (high trust) calls out the burner racks as hefty and durable, and r/CampingGear threads describe the larger pan compatibility and cast-iron grate as meaningful upgrades over the cheaper Coleman Classic if you cook frequently.
The honest disagreement lives in r/overlanding, where one comparison thread argues the Camp Chef EV 2X has roughly 50% more heat output per burner, a more reliable igniter, better wind performance, and sturdier build, a direct shot at the Cascade. That criticism is worth weighing for buyers who'll cook in exposed conditions. A r/CampingGear commenter also pushes back on the included griddles as too heavy and with too-low lips, preferring a separate Lodge griddle. So the verdict is conditional: as an all-in-one car-camping kit, the consensus is positive; as a pure grill or a wind-beating overland stove, there are better-targeted tools.
The 4.6-star Amazon average across 427 reviews is the strongest customer signal of any multi-burner candidate in the pool, and supportive r/camping commentary on wind handling versus alternatives like Ozark makes this the trust-weighted camp pick.

The Cascade fits slightly larger pans and if you're planning on using it A LOT then the cast-iron grate might be useful since the steel wire ones on Coleman's ...
I have that very one and it works great. The burners are wide and the dial is responsive.
