Coleman Classic 1-Burner Backpacking Stove, Portable Lightweight Camp Stove with Adjustable Burner & Pressure Control, 10,000 BTUs of Power for Camping, Backpacking, Tailgating, & More

Excellent quality. Perfect for hiking and overnighter.

This is the simplest, most reliable and easy to manage stove I've ever owned. It's not the lightest. There's no built-in ignition. There's really nothing to go wrong. The adjustment knob is extremely good. On cheaper stoves, the flame can go from "butane lighter" to "inferno of death" with just a fraction of a turn. The adjustment on this stove is very smooth consistent. I've made coffee countless times with this model. I've made hot chocolate for the kids. I've prepared freeze dried food. I'm totally sold on it and I don't really care if there are lighter stoves available. So, why is this my third? I gave one to my son for hurricane season. I have one in my backpack ready to go to the woods. And I bought the last one as a backup because I'm deathly afraid that it may be discontinued at some point. It'll stay in the box until it's needed.

Okay - so I used this as a sacrificial unit to retrofit new cans onto and old CampingGaz stove. That worked great. But before doing that retrofit, I tested this stove intact. It lit easily and quickly with the pezio; it burned strongly and solidly, and it was adjustable down to a light simmer. The windscreen, pot platform was fine, segmenting the burner so that the wind would only blow out a portion of flame at a time. And the pot holder has slightly serrated edge to presumably grip the pot. I'd have been happy to use this just as it was. For that I would recommend. As I loved some of the features of my CampingGaz stove (smaller burner, built-in round windscreen and a more stable platform to hold the pot) I did the retrofit. The new canisters (every manufacturers is using these) screw very easily into the new-style receivers. They unscrew easily and seal up tight to help break things down if needed for carrying. Coleman bought CampingGaz and I think may be phasing much of those older designs. I noticed the guts of this was nearly identical to my rather old stove with a couple differences. The burner is larger. The manifold to burner connection (which used to be screwed together) is now clipped in with a retainer. Not sure why, but perhaps this lets them use the part for more products. Anyway, if you can get this cheap it is worth it to have. Probably could serve as your primary camping or patio burner. Could be a back up or bug out option. Would perform fine for post-apocalyptic needs, I'd imagine.

I am impressed with this stove for its size and low price. I use it for camping but would also make for a great item for emergency use at home or on the road. Its nice to stop in the middle of nowhere and make a cup of coffee or tea, or to heat up some food. Its light and does not take much space and the fuel canisters are handy. smaller pots pans are recommended for stability! I use this stove to boil water and heat soup using a JetBoil 1.5 liter pan with the flux ring. It boiled water very quickly. It works well with the flux ring pan (older model) by sliding the stove arms up into the gaps of the flux ring. You want to wiggle it on so you have a good tight friction fit that results in a very stable set up. I can pick up the the stove and pan together by holding the canister and pouring the water into what ever vessel I need it in with ease!! Not sure if this is recommended practice but it seemed to work, I had some fear the pan would drop off and spill boiling water everywhere but so far so good.

Great little camp stove. Burns hot and folds up really small. I got an adapter so can use with the bigger Coleman propane bottles and works great.

Easy to pack or hang on your bag, easy to light, stable to cook on, lightweight and good quality. Great for the price.

I picked this up as a backup, but it's hard to make a use case for it. It's small and compact, but nowhere near as small as a true backpacking stove like the MSR Pocket Rocket, and significantly heavier. Yes, this is much cheaper, but the price difference isn't enough to matter unless you're only going to use this once or twice. And if you're car camping or tailgating, you might as well use something a little bigger and easier to use, unless you're really pressed for space. Most troubling, the build quality is lousy. I bought two of these, and the pieces of the red plastic housing aren't fully aligned on both and won't stay completely together on either. I don't think that affects functionality, but sours me a bit on the whole thing. So you get you pay for, which might be enough.

I recently put one of these to good use on a weekend camping trip, and I was pleased at the performance of the burner. It's not a super fancy, high end cooking unit like a Jetboil, but it gets the job done at a fraction of the cost. Also, it's always good to mention that any disclaimers about how quickly the unit can boil water should be regarded as "under ideal conditions" rather than as the standard cook/boil time. I paired this with a couple of Coleman Brand Isobutane canisters, and saw it boiling roughly 20 ounces of water in maybe 12-15 minutes when the flame was not exposed to any wind. I'd say it's likely a good idea to also purchase some sort of wind screen if you want to see the burner perform at its best. I may also purchase an adapter so that I can run mine from a larger propane canister versus the isobutane. However, I have few complaints overall. The burner worked as expected, and kept my camping party fed for the weekend. I couldn't ask for much more than that!

I really like the design of the stand. It's easy to attach it to a canister. The stands can accommodate a smallist pot but take into consideration that the diameter of the burner is larger than some stoves. It did struggle in windy weather so a windscreen would be essential. Not as strong a flame as other similarly priced stoves.
