Which is preferable - the 2 burner or 3 burner?

3 by a large margin. Only get the 2 if you are space limit. The 3 is much more versatile.

We have had larger Weber Grills, but with a two person family we find the two burner to be perfect. We do have a side burner which we use often.

3 burner is bigger. Depends on how much you plan to cook all at once. We can cook for six people on the 2 burner version.

hi lyI have the two burner and it really is a nice grill after I got use to it... it has quirks. For a two person household two burner is adequate but a third burner really heats up faster and will cook a bit hotter. Both good selections.

It depends on how much grilling you do and how many people you are grilling for. I have a 2-burner, and it is fine for me.

The left side with the larger burner gets HOT. You have to watch carefully to avoid burning things. The smaller, right side, burner doesn't seem to get nearly as hot. If I need to boil water, I start it on the large burner then move it to the small burner to simmer.

The one I have is a single unit. It works ok for warming for a short time, but it's made for cooking. I've heard that on the double unit, the larger burner works well for cooking but the small one is better for warming. It doesn't get hot very fast and it doesn't get as hot as the large burner.

This model is a "portable" -- But True Induction now also has a double burner "counter inset" model available (Model S2F3 according to their website)

Haven't tried using both burners yet. The power sharing system makes it sound like you only have half power available when both are used. I have a GE induction cooktop using 220V that has the same limitation.

If you read my review, you know that I have two of them now. The old one I fixed...well I make it work. The new one works just fine.I use pots much larger than the diameter of the burner but also use a chef's pan and a three quart sauce pan. When using much larger pots, then entire burner heats its 'footprint' on the bottom of the pot. Usually, when a burner is not doing this, the burner itself has gone bad.So, technically I said yes to your question. However, a very large pot should not be used on this device. A very large pot holds too much water and ingredients and the weight alone will eventually cause damage to this device. I wish you the best.HJ If you read my review, you know that I have two of them now. The old one I fixed...well I make it work.

My burner works well at all settings, though I confess it is used more often on high. Against cheaper burners, it simply works better. Are you using outside or in a drafty location?

I really don't know. I would think the 3 blade would put out more air but I did not even consider the 2 blade. I use my 3 blade on a wood burning stove because it is sitting inside a brick surround and the fan helps to push the heat out into the room.

I use it on a glass top stove and just put on two burners. Its a bit cooler in the center this way but not bad. Maybe an extra minute on the pancakes.

actually you can burn faster if your DVD writer supports it. I can burn at 6x on my Pioneer drive.

we have the 2 quart one that is just right as I only use it for 2 people. If you entertain a lot you might consider the 3 quart one.

I absolutely love the burner. It serves many purposes, especially when you are just making a pot of soup. No electricity or gas fees involved. It wll save you so money.

Hi Don, This cooktop does not have the most powerful burners as this is one the least expensive cooktops on the market. There are two 9500 BTU burners, one 12000 BTU burner and one 5000 BTU. Thanks Melanie with Goedekers

I love this burner. I use it instead of a stove for all my cooking. It is the BEST 2-burner I have had.

If you have a "standard" stove, it will have 3 burners of 1 size , and a larger one. The large aluminum burner bibs will fit the large burner. You will also need a box of the small bibs for the other 3 burners. These are very good because they minimize the mess from boil overs, spills, etc.

I would recommend the NXT 300, because the RoadTrip LXE has two burners for cooking leaving a cool area in between the two burners. NXT 300 has a length of burner that connects the two burners together, meaning more heat and more importantly consistent heat. Also I would say that the RoadTrip NXT 300 is not worth the extra money for the under glow lighting unless you are looking for that particular color

Hi Jason, It is a great stove for 1-2 But 3 is not really the best. If you are going to camp with 3, get a second stove. or even a third. They fold flat and if you have wood available where you are going. You don't have to pack any fuel. The extra stoves are nice because you can heat water for cleanup or coffee after heating with one of them. I think you get the idea!
