 Very high quality and a good deal for the price. Dec 23, 2006
By Dave L
My dad had some Coleman gear when I was a kid about 40 years ago, but I haven't gone camping in those intervening decades, so had no idea what had happened with the legendary Coleman name in all this time.
As soon as I pulled this stove out of its carefully-packed box I could see that they still were building high-quality equipment.
The stove sets up within a couple of minutes, and provides a very stable base. Stability is of paramount importance if you're going to use it in reality-based situations (instead of on the back porch) because nature is not flat nor smooth in most places.
In a disaster or other emergency things are dark, confused and in a huge mess, one of the last things you need is for some of your dwindling food supply to topple over while the stove happily starts your shelter on fire. That will not happen with this Coleman stove on the ground.
The two gas valves are large for precise flame control and have a silky feel to them. The "off" position cinches the valves down tight.
The lid and side wind shields hook together and stay that way until you want them to come apart. The chrome grill comes off easily for cleaning.
Propane for this stove is inexpensive and readily available at our local stores. You can disconnect a partially-used propane cylinder and use it again later.
I got this one to add to our emergency gear for when the next power outage hits, wish I'd done it two outages ago.

Does the job Dec 11, 2008
By A. Shieh
"eff.org"
Overall: This is a good stove for car camping or outdoor cooking.
Positives:
- Set up and operation is easy
- Burners can put out a huge or tiny amount of heat as needed; controls are excellent.
- Fuel is inexpensive and readily available
Negatives:
- The stove should have rubber leveling feet for safe use on non-flat surfaces.
- Pushing the igniter pushes the stove. Again, it needs rubber feet.
Troubleshooting:
A common problem with the spark lighter is that the sparker is slightly misaligned. To fix, bend the sparker a little bit so the spark was in the right spot relative to the burner.

Awesome Stove at a Great Price Apr 11, 2008
By Shamus Macgillicuddy
Nice and portable, and a terrific convenience for the money.
I'm really glad that I went with this $56 "next model up." It's a great stove. It's your garden variety Coleman-size model - a sauce pot or a coffee pot and a standard frying pan would fit easily at the same time. If you needed to fit two large frying pans or wanted to use a large stock pot, you would want to also get a hefty single-burner. However, cooking standard stuff for a few people, this stove is great and the price is certainly right.
One of my favorite features is the side flaps, which can be used as a windscreen when flapped up, or a utensil tray when down. It also seems more solid and sturdy than the tinny, rattling, old-fashioned Colemans I remember. It's nice and tough, and I would not hesitate to put a few decent weight pans on it.
Great stove!

Coleman H/T Two-Burner InstaStart Propane Stove Jul 16, 2007
By Dj Nygaard
I bought this stove at the recommendation of the Grub Master for my son's scout pack. Usually I'm a bit scared of anything having to do with gas and flame, so I got it with some hesitation. I was happily surprised at how easy and NOT scary it is to light. The instastart button really does work. An added surprise is that it's really a great gas stove. It heats up VERY FAST, you'll have to keep a close eye on anything you're trying to cook on a lower heat. The best part, boiling water for coffee in the morning faster than I get at home...what else can you ask for?

Great little camping stove! Jun 08, 2007
By R. Johnson
"imaScouter"
I recently bought two of these stoves and they are great! They are small and compact. They set up quickly and work perfectly. The instant start feature is really helpful because it seems I can never find the matches.
