• You have quite a few camp stove options (Everest, Everest 2X, Rainier, Teton 2X, Ranger 2, Ranger 3, and Mountaineer).  Can you highlight some of them and give some reasons why someone might choose one over another?
• Can you set a camp stove on top of the Sherpa table top and not have any heat issues with the contents below?
• I see that you have a small pellet smoker called the Pursuit 20. Have you heard of people bringing a pellet smoker camping with them?  
• Follow-up question, If someone brought the Pursuit 20 camping could it easily be powered by a solar generator?  Any idea how many amps it draws?
• Let’s talk about the PRO 14 & PRO 16 cooktops.  It looks like one is a 2 burner and the other is a 3 burner.  Are there any other differences?

• Have you ever used the Cooking Irons?  If so, do you have a favorite recipe for them?
• What’s so special about Camp Chef True Seasoned Finish?
• We see you also sell fire pits.  As you know, campfires are a staple of everyone we know who camps.  Camp Chef has 3 different models.  Do they put out much heat or are they more for ambiance?
• I was looking around your website and noticed you share some recipes to use with your products. How many do you have and do you have a favorite?
