About Coleman
The Coleman Company has been creating and innovating products for recreational outdoor use since W.C. Coleman started selling gasoline-powered lanterns in 1900. Inventor of the hugely popular fold-up camp stove, Coleman developed a plastic liner for his galvanized steel coolers in 1957--the birth of the modern cooler--and the company has been improving their utility and design ever since. The array of products that bear the Coleman name now includes just about everything you might need to work or play outdoors, from tents and sleeping bags to boats, backpacks, and furniture.

Excellent and perfect for emergency use

Review Date: October 9, 2005

Reviewer: Kenneth R. Shaw, San Francisco

This stove works very well, with good wind protection. Most importantly, if you live in any area where a natural disaster could occur, such as earthquakes or hurricanes, this stove can really be a lifesaver! My sister used one after Hurricane Andrew and we have ours primarily because it is a valuable addition to our earthquake survival kit. The liquid fuel stores easily for years in a contained area, and it is very easy to use and control.

The best stove for car camping bar none

I have two of these stoves (one is over 20 years old and one is the model covered in this review and it's about 4 years old); they have seen a lot of use. Very easy to use and rugged, I take both of them along when car camping because my family loves to camp and this allows the ultimate in outdoor cooking flexibility for use with our drip coffee maker and griddle. The folded up stove encloses the fuel tank, cooking grate and windscreens and is about the size of a briefcase.

Liquid fuel is the most reliable and hottest way to do camp cookery because it's easy to start and keep running while requiring very little maintenance. The dual fuel model gives you the option of using unleaded gasoline which is cheaper and more universally available than the most common fuels: a. Coleman Fuel (naphtha) or b. propane.

You can depend on this appliance during the harshest conditions including those times when power goes out at the house; down through the years I haven't had to think twice about using it to melt snow, boil water or make coffee at home during a power outage.

Buy Coleman quality stoves with confidence and enjoy more of the great outdoors.

Called Powerhouse for a Reason

Review Date: June 29, 2007

Reviewer: A. Trimble, Woodbridge, VA

This stove is big, but well worth our money. It accommodates two full sized skillets at once. It boils water in a jiffy, lights easily and burns clean. We cooked under a canopy with ample overhead ventilation with no problems. No odor or discoloring our pans. I loved that the stove's bottom didn't get more than warm when cooking. We used it with a plastic table cover under it with no problem. It stayed lit in very windy conditions. As advertised, the auxiliary burner is less powerful than the main, but was still plenty hot enough to cook on its own. Downsides? Size if you're not car camping. It's the size and weight of a large briefcase, and even larger when in the box. Another issue: in broad daylight, it was difficult to tell if the burner was still lit -- quickly passing a hand over the burner was sufficient to answer that question. To light the auxiliary burner you must briefly turn the main burner up to medium or higher -- tricky if you're already cooking something on low over the main. Finally, it is difficult to empty the fuel tank of extra fuel when packing up, though it can be stored with fuel. We consider these minor detractions. Bottom line: the stove performs great and we love it and recommend it.

First of all, this product is high quality product from Coleman. I researched for weeks trying to find a new Dual Fuel Camping Stove at a reasonable price. I haven't found a cheaper priced one until I came across this one at [...].

My family camps at least once a month. The camp set up has to be like the Hilton for my wife and this product adds to the quality camping experience. I was using propane stove prior to this stove and I hated lugging around all those propane bottles. I've actually moved to all Dual Fuel camping equipment ie. stove and lanterns. All I bring is a small 2.5 gallon unleaded fuel to run all my camping equipment and it is very convenient.

I would highly recommend this product if you and or your family are hard core campers who camp more than 4 times a year. Happy Camping!

This product is better than the reviews have you think!

Coleman stoves have always been easy to dent, scratch, get burned on and are not for the weak of spirit. On the other hand, properly assembled and pumped up they heat far better than propane for much less in total fuel cost. The white gas can be stored for years before using. Over pumping the stove creates massive amounts of heat for extra big pots. I have used big ones like this and the little portable ones. It is easy to forget that metal parts do an excellent job of transferring heat so look out! I have also used MSR stoves which could be dangerous, tempermental fireballs if not treated with respect. By their nature camp stoves get stored a lot and used some. These are the good ones.

I've never had any problems with any products I've purchased from Coleman. As I've never used a camp stove from a previous decade maybe I'm just missing out. In my opinion though I belive that most people are having problems because they might not understand things about a liquid fuel device. After the fuel is in, then you prime it, you have a good two to four seconds of sputtery hiss during which the gas is traveling from the tank to the burners and filling those channels. If you are a camping newbie this can make you think seomthing is wrong and can sometimes result in a 'fireball' if the person doesn't know what they're doing. There's alot of whining about leaking or spilt fuel causing fireballs. I'd say it's largely the result of not using a funnel, not poor craftsmanship by the company. Also Ozark Trails was mentioned as a substitute for Coleman products. I've seen several friends try this route with minimal sucess. The products are barely functional, and poorly designed.

A great camp stove...

boiled water very quickly. Started up beautifully and the wind baffles on the sides worked great on a windy morning. I would definitely recommended this stove if you do a lot of camping.

Update:12/06- I just wanted to add that I had to use my stove during a lengthy power outage where I live in St. Louis. I was able to start it but had many problems with leaking fuel and the flame burning yellow instead of the normal faint blue flame. At one point the stove did sort of catch on fire. I got very frustrated because I could not get it started properly. The fuel just seemed to not get to where it was supposed to be. I was so disappointed-I needed hot water!! I eventually just used it with the yellow flame out of desperation. I can now relate to what the other reviewers have gone through. I will still keep and use it but may beg my dad for his older model!
