Concord 16" Banjo Single Burner Stove: Users reviews 

  • Users impressed by the unit’s overall cooking performance
  • Recommend customers take a test cook in a well-ventilated, outside area

Most user reviews raved about the Concord 16" Banjo Single Burner Stove and were impressed by the unit’s overall cooking performance, in fact, most users said that they loved the Concord 16" Banjo Single Burner Stove. 

A small number of users were slightly concerned about ‘paint-burn-off' and recommended that customers did a ‘test cook’ first using no food, to remove the manufacturer's paint and labels throughly before beginning a crab boil / turkey thanksgiving fry etc.  

For this reason we’ve awarded the Concord 16" Banjo Single Burner Stove 4.5 stars out of 5 overall and would recommend that all customers take the precaution of a test cook in a well-ventilated, outside area.
