The 2 burner stove shown in the videos has been discontinued by Harbor Freight Tools. I found some suitable replacements online. Availability seems to come and go, but if you can grab one of these it will work fine. You just need to make one important modification as you will see in the first video on this page:

Here is another source on on Amazon.
If you can’t find this exact stove, the old standard Coleman two burner will work as well.
If your health department requires an NSF stove, here is an inexpensive one. Just be aware it is butane, not propane.
Steve:
I noticed in the video, after the stove install, there was a spot on the right side of the opening which you closed in with a piece of metal. Could one use a 3 burner stove, or would there not be enough space to install a 3 burner? Any pros and cons on this thought?

There is enough room for a three burner. You would have to enlarge the firebox to accommodate it.
My understanding is that NSF is a private company and Not part of. State run system. There for they can’t make you buy only there apovd. Product.
That’s what some experts say and it may be true. However, the way things should work and the way they work in the real world are often very different. What it really comes down to is your individual health inspector. They can pretty much enforce, add to, or waive anything in the food code. Treat them with respect and develop a good relationship. That’s the best thing you can do for your new hot dog biz.
Hello All. So my health department does require a NSF type stove. I was wondering if anyone else on here has to use one too. The problem I am having is all the NSF camp style stoves run on butane. Does anyone know of a solution?
Just go with the butane stove. It will work just fine and it’s not that much more expensive to run. Most of the time the burner is turned off once the water gets up to temp.
Hello Steve and Group;
[Question]
I am thinking that I would like to put in this: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00DQ43D1A/ as the camp stove. Could I get your opinion(s) on it please? IMO, if I used this I would need to encase the complete firebox in flashing and use some sort of metal brackets on the wood support frame. What do you think?
You can use just about any camp stove, but it may require a bit of engineering on your part. The important thing is that the flames are entirely inside the firebox. For the stove you are showing me you could just bolt it down to the wooden frame using brackets as you said. Then you would need to fabricate a sheet metal bottom for the firebox with two burner holes cut out of it. This would attach to the top surface of the cast iron stove somehow. Then continue on with the sides as in the videos. Before you do any of this, make sure you get the height of your stove support framework correct based on the distance from the bottom of your stove frame to the bottom of the firebox.
Very good, thank you for your input.
Instead of sheet metal bottom on top of the stove with the two holes cut out, what do you think of the entire stove cavity encased with the sheet metal flashing? Then anchoring down the 4 legs of the burner to the floor of the cavity?
I like to keep the gas line plumbing outside of the fire box. It’s safer.
thank you
