Review:

Coleman has been in the business for 100 years and it shows with the Coleman Classic Propane Stove. The stove comes with two burners--each with their own adjustable flame knob--and adjustable wind blocking panels. When not in use, the wind panels fold in and the top folds down to form a carry case. A recess at the top can be used as a handle for ease of carry.

The camping stove measures at 4.1" x 21.9" x 13.7" (10.4cm x 55.6cm x 34.8cm) and weighs in at 4 ounces. The cooking surface area measures out to be approximately 20" x 10" (50.8cm x 24.4cm). Each burner can put out 10,000 BTU of cooking power.  The burners are pressure controlled to produce a consistent flame in all climates.  

The stove is rated to be operational for an hour at high heat when attached to a 16.4 oz propane tank. If that is not enough, a larger tank can be attached with the recommended purchase of the Coleman High Pressure Propane Hose Adapter.

Pros:

Adjustable burners.
Wind protection.
Folds down to its own case.

Cons:

Heavy for a solo outing.
May need to re-lube the knob for better fine-tune adjustment of flame.

Butane vs Propane vs IsoButane Stoves

Image
What are the differences between butane, propane and isobutane camping stoves? The difference is the type of fuel used by the camping stoves.  Each fuel has its own characteristics that work better in certain situations.  The size of the fuel canisters also plays a role to determine the best type of camping stove for the situation. Butane: Most commonly available in 8 oz canisters, the butane canisters are long and narrow.  They look like cans of spray paint.  Due to the size, most butane portable stoves are in the small to medium size range.  Portable butane stoves are also popular in Asian hot pot restaurants to keep a pot of boiling water at the table.  Butane fuel canisters are readily available and affordable.  These fuel canisters are not refillable and have issues operating in colder temperatures.  An e xample of camping stoves that use butane fuel is  the Gas ONE Portable Butane Gas Stove . Propane: Propane is a fuel that can be used for more than camping stoves.  Propane fuel

Review: The  Camp Chef Explorer 3X Three-Burner Stove is a no-nonsense stove for the outdoorsman. You won't find any fancy paneling here, just three aluminum burners with the ability to produce 30,000 BTU each. A simple but sturdy frame surrounds the three burners with removable legs to make setup easy. The Camp Chef Explorer 3X Three-Burner Stove measures out to be 50 x 8.5 x 16 inches and weighs in at 43 pounds. The legs boosts the cooking height up to 29 inches. The stove set up is easy as well. Connect the legs, connect the hose, then light the burners through a hole on the side. Pros: Sturdy and rugged design. Does what it is built to do. Cons: Requires accessories to maximize use.

Bulin 5800W Ultralight Camping Stove

    Review: The Bulin 5800W Ultralight Camping Stove is a lightweight portable gas stove.  The weight of the stove is 10.5 oz (298 g) and folds down to 2.6" x 2.6" x 3.3".  The Bulin camping stove comes with a carry case for easy storage and transport. The Bulin Camping Stove connects to the fuel canister with a tube, allowing the stove to rest directly on the surface.  This reduces the overall height of the stove, making it less likely to tip over.  The pot support stands are larger than most, providing stable operation for large pots.  The stove provides three burners, allowing a wider flame area and better spreading of the heat to the pot.   Setting up the stove is quick and easy.  Simply unfold the pot supports, connect the tube to the fuel canister, and light the flame.  The stove does not include a built-in ignition so a lighter will be needed.  This travel stove also includes an adjustable knob to control the flame. Pros: Lightweight and compact Large pot stand s
