Propane 3 burner camp stove.
Looking to replace my existing 3 burner propane (2) 12000 btu & (1) 9000 btu. I'd like to find a 3 burner with @ 20000 btu each. I've used 2 different camp chef pro 90's and have concluded that they...

I use an old green Coleman 2 burner that I have had for years, I converted it to LP with an adapter that I bought it works fine for us, I also use the griddle on top of the burners and can cook a lot of bacon etc. or several things at once. I carry a separate LP tank for that or my grill.
Me as well except I haven't converted it to propane.
What I would look for were I to purchase a new propane stove:
Enough space in between each burner to hold a 10"-12" skillet/pot. Based on the dimensions given and the visuals, it seems the CC Ranger III can only hold two 12" and maybe something between a 4"-6" at one time. Putting it another way.....take a look at the Bass Pro linked above and view the space between the burners. Much better in that respect.
Burner knobs that allow a full 360 degree range of flame as opposed to preset or quarter settings. Can't tell how the Ranger series operates on this level.
A propane hookup located at the back of the unit so that counter space can be used w/o the piping crossing the top. The Ranger's gas portal is on the side.
A smaller amt of BTUs on at least one burner so that items that only need re heating don't burn if you aren't watching the pots constantly. Also wastes less fuel. The Ranger III has three burners each w/ an output of 17,500 BTUs.
A built in wind guard would be useful although you can gerrymander one w/ ease; the Ranger has none.
Quality construction w/ easy to replace parts. Looks like this CC line has that under control.
HTH.
