Coleman HyperFlame FyreKnight Camping Stove

Check out the HyperFlame FyreKnight Camping Stove from Coleman here:
www.snowys.com.au/hyperflame-...
Reliable, robust and convenient, it’s no wonder the HyperFlame FyreKnight stove from Coleman is one of our most popular camping stoves.
Burning hot and cooking fast, this stove has WindBlock pot supports to provide space for larger pots, tough high-performance design with a heavy-duty latch, shock-absorbing corner bumpers, and independently adjustable flame control with a total output of 24,000 BTU’s.
In this video, our gear expert Ben talks you through everything you need to know about the HyperFlame FyreKnight from Coleman. He starts out with the packed and in-use dimensions of the unit, what you get with the stove, what gas cylinders you can attach it to, the features of the stove, and gas consumption and burn time.
Then Ben connects the stove up to a gas bottle, ignites the stove, and turns down the flame to show you how to get it to simmer. He finishes the video with what compatible accessories are available - so check it out above for all the details.

[@jerryshortt2479]

Just an FYI. I watched another video earlier where a guy fixed the difficulty in getting a low simmer. On another Coleman stove, with the same issue, he removed the flame control knob by unscrewing the central screw, loosened the brass nut under it and removed it. He then put the control knob back on and used it to unscrew the shaft that goes in to the stove. There were 2-rubber gaskets on the shaft With way too much dark grease all over them. He cleaned this gunk off with a paper towel, then put a thin coat of silicone lube on the gaskets. He also rolled up a piece of paper towel and rotated it into the hole to help remove any more of the factory grease. Put everything back together and like magic, you now can adjust down to a low simmer. Way better than before.!

[@iconiic1234]

A nice and comprehensive review 👍 I've got one of these, and some people do say that it can't simmer. It can be a little fiddly to do sometimes, but as shown it can do it. The dial control is probably one of it's weakest points, but it makes up for it by being really good across the rest of the board.

@@bigred6927 warranty is a funny thing, some manufacturers are strict and won't warrant any claim one day out of the warrantied timeframe. Good manufacturers, however, will look at the issue and determine if it has failed within a reasonable timeframe specific to the actual fault.

[@4bnewb969]

Good demo. If you are using the disposable propane bottles where do you put them if the stove is on that stand ? I have the Coleman Triton stove which has served me well to date, although the piezo ignition packed it in early in its life

[@SnowysOutdoors]

The stand in the demo is not the best if you are using the disposable canisters, 4BnewB, you'd be best using it on a larger flat surface so the canister can rest to the side of the stove. ~ Ben

[@ndulge0]

Best cooker ive ever had. Full flame and simmer is literally about a 15mm turn on the knob and from simmer to losing the flame completely is about 2mm haha. Yes its tidious but get used to its traits and you'll love it.

Great video - I lost my regulator. Can you suggest an alternative or do you think it's best to just get a Colman's one? Cheers.

I don't know of any alternatives sorry, Ryan, you're best replacing it with another Coleman regulator. You can grab them from our website here - www.snowys.com.au/2-burner-stove-regulator-assembly. ~ Ben

[@AddyAshton]

Bought this stove two days ago but had to take back to Anaconda (Jack was brilliant by the way), I was already aware that I would need to remove the two controllers, remove the excess grease and lubricate, this allows for better control of flame. I took the unit back because the trivets would not sit in there receptors, turns out another customer who happened to wander by had same issue and he said the two male pieces on the trivet needed to be bent out a little which we did and they then sat in place correctly. What I will say is that Coleman need to get their house in order, both problems have been known for some time but Coleman's quality control is seriously lacking. We removed two other stove's from there boxes both had the same trivet problem.

[@SnowysOutdoors]

Thanks for your feedback, David. We do see issues from time to time on almost all problems and they are usually batch related and covered under warranty. We'll keep an eye out for this on the stoves we currently have in stock though. ~ Ben

[@AddyAshton]

@@SnowysOutdoors Thanks Ben for the reply.

[@leonebrierley2033]

We purchased one 12 months ago and had no trouble popping the trivet stands into the receptors, nor did we have to remove the knobs for any reason. Have since bought the carry bag as we store it in our caravan boot. Highly recommend!

[@changman6231]

Another Fantastic video! Can I ask why the disposable Companion propane bottles doesn't work with mine? Does it only work with a Coleman branded one? Thx

[@SnowysOutdoors]

It should work, ChangMan, as long as the gas fitting is the same. I don't have any explanation for why you cannot get your to work sorry, we'd need to inspect it to find the issue. ~ Ben

[@jarrahfitzgerald2752]

@@SnowysOutdoors I've had the same problem. It is the same fitting but I'm not sure that the amount/quality of thread is the same and the bottles don't seem to fully engage. Therefore, no gas comes out once connected (even if the bottle is just connected to the regulator and not the stove). Connecting the regualtor to a 3/8 BSP bottle of gas with the supplied hose works, which leads me to believe it is an issue with the Companion bottle. Would love to know if others have managed to successfully use a Companion branded bottle with the Coleman Fyreknight...

[@JustinWorboysPhotography]

Great review guys. Can you tell me please what the difference between the knight and cadet is ? I want to get one from you but I don’t know which one to buy? Thanks guys

[@SnowysOutdoors]

There isn't a lot of difference, JWPhoto Adventures. Coleman state s light difference in BTU but I don't think the average user would notice much difference. Apart form this the difference lies in the body of the stove, being that the FyreKnight has a more robust build than the FyreCadet, the trade off being a marginally (and I emphasise the word 'marginally') bulkier and heavier product to store and transport. The FyreKnight also has a folding handle, whereas the FyreCadet is fixed. If budget allows, I'd recommend the FyreKnight. ~ Ben

[@JustinWorboysPhotography]

[@palindromeAU]

Any idea on what the regulated pressure is? Would be good to use on caravan gas

[@SnowysOutdoors]

You can see details about the regulator that Coleman use here, Palindrome - www.snowys.com.au/2-burner-stove-regulator-assembly. You won't be able to use this off of caravan gas as the regulator I linked to needs to be in the system, and the connection to the stove is specific to this regulator. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. ~ Ben

[@brendonkellie]

Hey, what stand are you using for this stove? I can’t find one big enough

[@SnowysOutdoors]

[@nabob14]

How well does this work with the folding Coleman oven or a griddle plate?

[@SnowysOutdoors]

Should be fine, I've never personally tried it though sorry. It's trial and error when it comes to using accessories like the folding oven, you probably wouldn't want the heat up too high on this stove though. ~ Ben

[@peterj5751]

Is the fitting on the unit such that you can’t use any other fitting other than the regulator it comes with? I ask because I love this unit but want to use it on a regulated gas supply on a camper. Nothing else seems as well designed or as hot as this unit and as it’s designed to run on a 2.8kpa regulated supply, it seems a pity not to be able to bypass the regulator to use a caravan one. I know you said you can’t but I want to double check.

[@SnowysOutdoors]

You are correct, Peter, you need to use the Coleman specific regulator with this. A gasfitter may be able to help, but you'd need to speak to them to confirm. ~ Ben

[@joshobrien7708]

It is possible to simmer & cook bacon eggs etc without burning it. All it takes is a steady hand, just set dial to least amount of gas as possible. Took me a while to figure it out but got it down pat now. Only question I have is what is the difference between this and the FyreCadet??

[@SnowysOutdoors]

Yeah, there is a super fine line between simmer and scorch, but it is possible. There isn't much difference between the FyreKnight and FyreCadet, Josh. Coleman claim that there is a slight difference in heat output, and the dimensions vary a little, but the main difference is in the exterior. The FyreKnight has a more durable case and a folding handle, making it the more popular choice. ~ Ben

[@lindak8664]

Often you’ll find you can get a better simmer going after its been running for a time and well heated up. Its still not super low, but low enough for most things. Otherwise trying to get it on simmer straight after igniting it will drive you nuts.

[@SnowysOutdoors]

This is great feedback thanks, Linda, being able top simmer is the most discussed topic surrounding these stoves. Consensus is that you can certainly do it, you just need to be careful with the adjustment. ~ Ben

[@seceded5579]

Is the a way to clean the burners? I bought one second hand and one of the burners tends to go out when it's a reasonable sized flame. Can you please give me some pointers on this? Thx

[@SnowysOutdoors]

Not sure how to clean the burners, sorry, you'd need to start disassembling the stove. The only reason you'd need to do this is if there has been significant spills directly on the burner. We'd need to see the stove to work out what is going on, it sounds strange. ~ Ben

[@jeffkeith637]

Eliminating the side windshields is a great idea. How well is the flame protected from wind when it is down low? The regulator pipe looks pretty vulnerable to being knocked and eventually busted. Anyone had experience? High flames are a no-brainer with gas, but a good controllable low heat is where good cooking is really at.

[@SnowysOutdoors]

The flame guards do a pretty good job of keeping the wind away, Jeff, but you will still have issues if the weather is particularly wild. There are mixed reviews with these and the ability to simmer, there is a very fine line between full heat and off, so finding a good simmer point can be tricky. ~ Ben

[@jeffkeith637]

@@SnowysOutdoors Thanks Ben, appreciate that. Most stoves find it tricky in wild wind, even with the bigger shields. However the benefit of fitting more large pots is great news for families. The low settings can be dealt with it seems, but it'd be good if they fix it with a 2.0 version. Great review BTW, really appreciate your candour.

Happy to film it

[@SnowysOutdoors]

This isn't something I've heard of, Nick, I have however found that there can be some noise generated when a particularly cold vessel is placed on a very hot flame, and it dies down after a few minutes. That's not to say this is what you are experiencing, it might be worth enquiring with the place you purchased the stove to see if there is an issue. ~ Ben

[@JustAnotherReviewwithAlek]

These stove do cook well but there is one MAJOR fault with all Coleman regulators. After 4-5 uses the regulators are a pain to insert or remove. Its finger tighten and the grooves on the screw in becomes useless and hard to tighten which then leaks gas. Therefore you would then need to use a needle nose pliers to connect and remove. You will hate the stove after that.

[@SnowysOutdoors]

We've not heard of this being an issue before @Alek Antonic Unboxing & Reviews, I've had my Coleman Stove for almost 15 years on the same regulator, and no issues. Sounds like the regulator may have threaded on your stove, in which case you can pick up a replacement from Coleman. ~ Lauren

[@derekosborne2546]

Major problem with this stove is that it can't be set to a simmer. It is a well known fault. Apparently there is a very easy work around which begs the question why not produce it properly in the first place.

[@SnowysOutdoors]

The HyperFlame isnt designed to be a simmering stove, its whole purpose is to produce high heat and fast cooking. Its important to pick gear that meets your needs. Similar to say a cast iron camp oven and a Stainless Steel saucepan. They're both pots, but have different intended uses and functions - interchangeable but with limitations. There are plenty of other stove models on the market that simmer perfectly, so if simmering is the function that's important to you, you would go with a stove designed to do that. ~ Lauren
