I have owned this stove for many years never let down,car camping family camping fishing trips very dependable

[@milesrobertson6882]

I’ve had one for maybe 20 years, and it’s been a staple for car camping the entire time. Cheers.

[@betterarmed]

Looks like the perfect gift to give your non prepared family members for Christmas! One of these could save the day.

[@ann-mariejensen2623]

During your testing, the flames were licking up the sides of the pot. I believe proper use of a gas or propane burner is to concentrate the flame underneath the pot. Much more efficient use of fuel and actually heating the area which needs to be heated.

[@kudlakp]

Have it, love it. It is what it is and does it well

[@MO-vr1jg]

The stove performs as intended…Big and sturdy need some love too.

[@charlesbradshaw9215]

Yes, for the niche it's in it works well. Car camping, picnic extra burner, emergency. Fits in the car or on the shelf goes well with a lantern set up using the green tanks

[@trilliondollarman2514]

I have the Ozark trail one. Works like a champ!

[@raytribble8075]

I have owned the same 2 stoves like this since 2002. I made some simple canvas bags for the stove and plastic base. I would back them in my saddle bags (1 on each side) and packed them all over the high country in my home state of Wyoming. These are as tough as it gets, extremely reliable and stable. I am pretty sure one of my grandkids will inherit them. Great video as always sir!

[@jazbo4173]

My daughter gave me one of these several years ago to use in case of power loss at our cabin in the NC mountains. Works great but honestly, haven’t had to use it much. It’s good to have on hand though. Love it.

[@ed5042]

got three of them, been using for over 25 years, go to camping stove, hunt camp stove, emergency no power in house stove

[@Thereal111t]

I have one. Pretty bomb proof and reliable. I would definitely recommend the suitcase two burner style for this use. Even with the plastic base, I’m nervous about how tippy it is. If I put this on a picnic table with a big pot of water on it, I definitely don’t want the kids moving around on/off the benches of the table. I tend to use this on the ground for that reason. I’ve thought of getting some steel cable and making a fly kit for it so I could hang it from a low branch. That would definitely make it safer.

[@JasonWicklund]

Should probably have one of these to go along with my bottle top lantern lol

[@sjohnson4882]

I have one and use it it for car camping. It works well and is easy to light. My one problem with it is that it is very high (or long) so it is difficult to use on a regular table. It is fine for a lower table or a park bench.

[@ricbrown9819]

Ernie i used this same stove several years OTR trucking great for making the morning coffee. Just a little tuff getting it to perk with out boiling over.

[@davidandmoose1499]

I have 2 of them. They are great, one at home for an emergency, the second at my vacation home for Winter when the gas is shut off. Can get them at WalMart for $29.80

[@frankfowlkes7872]

I have one of these I use for kayak camping. Once while camping on a floating platform in the Mobile Delta we were able to light it even after our lighter was out of fuel just by turning on the gas and using the lighter spark. Saved our breakfast and coffee that morning!

[@Q-BinTom]

I do owe on one of these stoves. It’s my back up stove for when an emergency happens. Great little stove does what it needs to do. My only caution would be make sure you always use the base for the tank. It is Rairigh unstable, unless you have the base attached.

[@richardwright6796]

Loved the review. I personally own a much older model of the same thing. Car camping,emergencies or just to practice my cooking with limited regulation. It has been worth every penny and still in use to this day. That's over 20 yrs at least. Personally a great investment. Only name I can find on it is American camper. It's been a gem of a stove. 😊😊

[@kevinmcnamara4002]

Exactly. Not a hiking a stove by any stretch. I’ve used it camping of course but cooked whole meals on it for a family when power was out for three days due to a winter storm. It’s strong enough and big enough for real pots and pans. Also 100% on, it’s not the fastest stove but when I use it I’m not going anywhere anyway.

[@EugeneJrFolse]

I have a similar one. It stays in the cabinet until parties, huricanes and car camping. Very cheap but does its job.

[@jamesharvey44]

I have two of these in my "hurricane" tote and I have used them for camping for years. More of a base camp item and easy for anyone to use.

[@akbychoice]

I have a similar one, used it when using the boat or camping by vehicle. Worked every time.

[@farstrider79]

They work for sure, but i loke the Coleman Powerpack for a single burner. But if your talking about car camping or keeping around your house, their plain two burner suitcase style will do anything more expensive stove will do.

[@ricdonato4328]

Although I do not own the Coleman brand the one I own comes from GasPowor, purchased from Amazon for $24.99. Comes with burner, and for added stability it comes with a bottle stand having three winged feet extensions. Also, came with a USB rechargeable lighter. Amazon price $24.99. Works well. The only issue I had was when screwed on the bottle it was not level. Easily solved, bend it back level.

[@beckyguiggey5440]

Thank you for this review. I have five of these stoves have used them for years including backpacking with them . I absolutely love them! Have never failed me.would not be without one.

[@imgadgetmanjim]

I have one too. Bought years ago when it was on clearance for about $7. Decent backup. Thank you for another enjoyable video. Edit: I used to get the one pound propane tanks on clearance for about a dollar each. Wish I had bought moore. Now about $5.

[@Theolesouth]

The road trips tailgate by Colman is is my go to. I have this stove as well don’t use it. The road trips cost @$10 more . It’s self lighting and more stable . The plastic bottoms on some brands of propane will slip in the base of the stove you reviewed. Spilling you breakfast.

[@jhill4874]

If you want a power stove, we got the Camp Chef Explorer 2-Burner Camp Stove. Big BTUs, capable of using a HUGE pot.

[@shaunmorrissey7313]

Coleman gas may be inexpensive and readily available in the US but it is not the case in Europe, it's hard to find and bloody expensive when you do.

[@TheHC_Directly]

A more common stove for the common man. It is what it is and does it well. I like to see any stove, any price range, big or small. Thanks for the video 👍

[@RickMunday]

Probably one of the most overlooked single burners out. Bombproof.

[@markedwards4565]

Thats the only stove I have right now lol!

[@mattwaters6987]

Have had mine for many many years mainly for tent camping and emergency. Been working flawlessly. Excellent investment! 👍

[@caminoracer7987]

I’ve owned this particular stove for many many years, and it stays in our car camping tote and gets pulled out and used quite often with never a failure

[@michaelnasser8697]

Have one and it’s a good little stove for camping, emergencies, etc.

[@HALEdigitalARTS]

Runs indoors without killing everyone. I like 'em.

[@markmartello]

Thanks Doc. I've been waiting for you to review this stove. Many years ago I was an Armor Officer in the Nation Guard. I had this stove and would bring it to the field with me (when you're riding a 50+ ton tank, weight really isn't an issue). It was incredibly useful to heat water for coffee or for shaving in the morning. It was inexpensive, ran on fuel that was easy to get, and it just worked.

[@kevinmccarthy6718]

I think I have this stove too! Our vary similar. I've had it at least 20 years.. Use it car camping. Love it! Definitely need to use base with it. Very tippy base.

[@echo6echo419]

Have had one of these for a very long time. I used it camping a few times but then moved it back to the house for an "emergency" we lost power way to cook. I far prefer my green dual burner white gas Coleman over this one for in the camp.

[@t.j.speakman7723]

Thanks for all the great video's Ernie. I've had one of these for many years. Great tool for the cold off season here in Ohio.

[@gedeon2696]

Like to see a comparision with a 20-30 yr old model. Am quite sure the old one will be the best!

[@johnforeman9776]

Could be good for indoor power outage at home. I do have a question for you. Of all the “small” backpacking stoves you’ve reviewed, what are your top five stoves?

[@richardstyron5716]

Have one, great when the power is off, stay safe!!!

[@nascar427]

Love it Ernie!

[@danielsmorodin5478]

Had this years, I use it in the garage for frying greasy food/ steak to not stink up the house etc. big boils in the summer to not heat up the house, you can put a really big pan/pot on this unit. Works good/ simple

[@tomprevost2477]

Doing some car camping right now, have my backpacking set up I'm using but would like something bigger using a canister like shown here, but the stove part of this looks huge. 10,000 btu is fine but something better designed that would work better in the wind.

[@farstrider79]

A plain Coleman two burner does anything the more expensive stoves do and you can usually get them used for cheap.

[@MichaelR58]

Good review, thanks for sharing, God bless !

[@Reuben_hikes]

Seems awfully bulky compared to other stoves on the market. Regulator is nice. Going to be a Walmart type item for someone who is learning to camp. Probably not a bad stove but no reason to pick it up if you already have others. Which for me, because of you, I now have WAYYYY too many stoves. You ever going to do a follow up of the firebox freestyle? I really like mine. Would like to hear your thoughts on whether or not it made the 5" obsolete. Wife still loves watching your videos.

[@1oldvato782]

Good morning Ernie yeah I have for my car camping outfit in my forester spare tire compartment. But I also carry a tragia alcohol burner & snowpeak Butane burner which I use for my a quick coffee. So the coleman is great for cooking for breakfast on our fishing trips or camping since we seem to always be in a fire ban in my state. I just ordered Steve's firebox wood burner Butane burner it's more compact than my trangia gas burner plus it will work on my Nano or G2 stoves. Keep up the great videos. P.S. the coleman bottle stove is smaller than my 50 year old 2 burner green coleman stove

[@redsorgum]

I have the older burner for that fuel bottle, plus the stand. I think I got it in the 80s. It looks different from this one.

[@gedeon2696]

And probably works better, too.

[@CreachterZ]

$46.39 for me on Amazon right now. Paleo drove the price up! 😢

[@ricksorber9562]

That's what I found too.

[@chilternsroamer872]

Looks great for a cabin or for emergencies at home. For car camping, I think I would be happier with a "cassette" stove (or two) that sit flat, or some other wide & low design. Mind you, propane works at lower temperatures than the common "cartridges" that fit "cassette" stoves (e.g. the "Coleman Classic 1-Burner" or the very similar "Campingaz Bistro 3").

[@NewHampshireJack]

In the Philippines where I have retired, many cassette stoves are available as "2 in 1" models supplied with an adapter that allows you to hook up to the standard 11-kilo propane tank. My gas delivery guy informed me that the standard mix supplied here is 70% butane/30% propane, the same as the winter mix in most flat-top canisters. We have several different brands of cassette stoves that are the "2 in 1" variety and all work fine with the adapter and 11 kilo tank.

[@withoutfurtheradoforever]

Where did you find it for $30? Closer to $50 or more, as far as I can find.

[@roberttolley5055]

Does it have low high adjustment?

[@nascar427]

Can you put a torch on the bottle later, and do some plumbing after you have had your coffee?....Asking for a friend.

[@blkcoverboy1049]

Thinking of adding this to my hurricane supplies are there any dangers I should know about ? Carbon monoxide risk? Any risk of propane explosion? Etc… just want to be as safe as I can. Thank you also propane storage when not in use

[@gregbrown357]

Home Emergency Kit for loss of power events.

[@23710jh]

Thanks for the review. I have a question. Is there an adapter to hook this stove up to a 20 lb tank?

[@nascar427]

Sure, you can never have too many tools in your tool box.

[@chriscon8463]

I’ve had one of these for a long time now & it’s a great stove & works well. The trouble is, on the occasions I would use it (weight not an issue/car camping), it’s more convenient for me to just bring my 2-burner Coleman stove. Maybe if space is an issue (but not weight) my one-burner stove would see more use.

[@rjvcescobar]

Is there anywhere an Origo Heater Pale or Stove sold on the open market???

[@bzpimpinella4330]

This stove might be designed for much bigger pots than the one you used.

[@krakatoasundra]

👍

[@CanadianBeachcomber]

What do you do with the empty propane bottles?

[@betterarmed]

Refill off 20lb grill tanks. The adapter is pretty cheap. After several refills, don’t trust the little bottles valve anymore. They will eventually start to leak.

[@anthonycolbourne4206]

Best hack I saw using one of these stoves was cutting a hole in a tabletop big enough to hold the very top of the stove, with the rest hanging down under the tabletop... stability problem GONE
