Amazon.com Product Description
Cook up a full meal with no running out of cooking space with the Coleman EvenTemp InstaStart two-burner stove. Designed to accommodate a pair of pots or skillets at once, the stove delivers two completely adjustable, ten,000 BTU burners, each and every equipped with Coleman's matchless InstaStart pushbutton ignition. The outcome is an straightforward-to-use stove that delivers an elite cooking efficiency time and once again. Outdoor chefs will also appreciate the stove's PerfectFlow propane pressure manage, which produces a steady fuel stream even in cold weather, high altitudes, or when fuel is low. The stove's PerfectHeat technologies, meanwhile, employs recessed cook tops and lowered burner positions to create effective cooking heat. And thanks to the WindBlock side panels, the burners can stave off the components when you cook. (The side panels also fold down to form side shelves for condiments or utensils.) So give your self the gift of convenience and severe cooking power with this durable camping stove from Coleman.
About ColemanThe Coleman Firm has been producing and innovating products for recreational outdoor use because W.C. Coleman started selling gasoline-powered lanterns in 1900. Inventor of the hugely favorite fold-up camp stove, Coleman developed a plastic liner for his galvanized steel coolers in 1957--the birth of the modern day cooler--and the company has been improving their utility and style ever given that. The array of products that bear the Coleman name now includes just about anything you might require to work or play outdoors, from tents and sleeping bags to boats, backpacks, and furniture.

The Coleman PerfectFlow InstaStart two-Burner Propane Stove makes campside cooking a breeze. Each burner delivers a totally-adjustable ten,000 BTUs with reliable, matchless InstaStart push-button ignition. The PerfectFlow propane pressure manage ensures constant cooking performance by making a steady fuel stream -- even in cold weather, at high altitudes, or when fuel is low. What's far more, the folding WindBlock technique delivers side panels to block the wind and foster even more efficient cooking. The panels can alternately be folded down to form side shelves, which can be handy condiment or utensil holders. With each burners on High, the stove delivers about an hour of cooking time on a single 16.4-oz propane cylinder (sold separately). The stove's rust-resistant enamel-painted case and removable nickel-chrome grate are a breeze to clean, and the secure latching lid and hassle-free carry handle make it quick to bring along.

Customer Reviews


Coleman got it right this time. The carrying handle is substantial and stays cool. The handle also facilitates pressing the lighter button without bracing against hot metal. The curved, sealed design eliminates sharp edges, and makes cleaning easier. Spacious burners allowed us to use our 9" fry pan on a single burner, with the side wind shields up, and still have room around it (we could have used a slightly larger fry pan).
Water boiled reasonably quickly.
The piezoelectric igniter worked well. Just keep clicking it until you either see the flame (hard to do in bright light) or hear the flame.
This is our first experience with propane. PROs: Hot and clean. Unlike gasoline stoves, the propane will not dirty the bottom of your pots and pans. And you don't have the smell and mess of gasoline stoves. CONs: Invisible flame in bright light. I cannot tell if the flame is overshooting or undershooting the bottom of the pot or pan. The flame can actually be too hot. Boil water with a full flame (I think that the right burner is a little hotter than the left). But fry pancakes on the lowest flame possible, and keep an eye on it. A higher flame can be so hot that it can discolor the metal, or reduce oil to a baked-on gum.
This stove made our recent camping trip a real pleasure.

I buy gobbs on Amazon cuz I love the reviews and can tell you that I thought with all the rave ones I'd dismiss those who remarked about the difficult to adjust flame, thinking they must be just extra picky. Nope, they're not - on our first trip, I got so aggrevated over that I could have wrestled big foot out in those woods, and won! Could not get it to low to save my life, so thusly wound up having to turn the stinking thing off and relight just to keep things from burning, and even that was a futile effort. Arrgghhh!
I loved the fact that it has that nice-to-touch carrying handle, is compact yet good cooking area, and had the Instastart. However, after only a few uses the Instastart was Insta-I'm-not-starting-anything-anymore, leaving me to use matches anyway, so that part was a bust.
And yup, other reviewers were also right when they complained about the rigid copper tube that connects to the tank - makes positioning the tank a real pain, only place for it to work well at all is hanging precariously off the side of your table, placing weight bearing on that connection which to me is an obvious opportunity to cause a leak.
Nope, believe those reviewers - I wouldn't recommend this thing if it were 5 bucks, it's still not worth the headache of burning everything you cook. And now I have to go find another one...arrrghhh.
