Work well even in windy day. With the griddle, it is easy and fast to cook for 4 persons.

This unit will be used on our ATVs and Kamatiks. Its light weight compared to the naptha stoves and not as messy. Gives good heat and cooks good.

Great camp stove. The wind shields work well and they adjust outward so that you can fit a larger pan over the burner. I really like that there is a permanent metal liner under the burners for easy clean-up. The burners have many more holes for the gas flame than my old stove giving you more flame control. The matte black color is really stylish, however, I still harbor some nostalgia for my tried and true 40 year old green stove. Overall, for this is a great propane stove. An electric ignition would be nice, but you can get that on a more expensive model.

Good stove with a few quality issues. I would like to see Coleman improve the valve design so that it is easier to obtain a lower flame. There are some easy fixes to this as you will see in other reviews, but Coleman should put some effort into better valve design.

Serious (and very unsafe!) manufacturing defects. Both burners were permanently affixed in a skewed way, and the flat plate was off-center leading to a gap along one edge.

Stopped working during second use! Just died. The burners stopped lighting even with propane seeping out the burners. In the middle of cooking, it just stopped heating. The first time used, I couldn't see the flame so I wasn't sure it was working but I could feel the heat. Save your money, this isn't worth it. I'm beginning to think that all Coleman stoves are garbage. If you do buy one make sure you have a back up cooking stove. It will ruin your trip! With I could give it zero stars.

This stove is poorly built junk. If you buy it thinking that you’ll get a quality Coleman stove that lasts for 20+ years you are solely mistaken. This appears to have been made to improve Coleman’s finances not yours.

I was happy with this for a number of years. However, the copper gas tube cracked adjacent to the left burner, leaking gas into the interior - which would eventually ignite, or just drain the propane bottle, if lucky. Unbeknownst to me, the tubular bolt behind the left knob that secured the gas valve was loose or loosened. My assessment: the copper tube was acting as the knob rotation stop, flexing slightly each time the knob was turned to full on and full off. This work-hardened the copper and caused it to eventually crack and leak gas.

bought this a few years ago to replace my old green Coleman that lasted more than 25 years because they had discontinued that model. Right away, I found that the design for lighting and ease of use were inferior. Five years later, the copper tube developed a leak where it was welded to the hookup, and became unusable and potentially dangerous as propane would build up inside the stove and ignite from the burner, causing a small explosion that would blow out the burner flame as well. I had to abandon my camping trip a few days early because I was scared to use the stove. It appears that the green stoves are again for sale as the Classic. I'd spend the extra money for that.
