Because it’s so light, you don’t feel like you’re hauling a massive stove around.
Now that I’ve put it to the test on multiple overnight camping trips, I can report back that it’s a high-quality, lightweight, game changer of a stove.Ĭoleman puts the stove in a really convenient hard plastic case with a handle, which makes it easy to pack and carry around. The Coleman brand bolstered our confidence, and we really didn’t want to spend a ton of money, so we pulled the trigger on it. Plus, firewood can really add up if you are burning multiple bundles! So how’d the Coleman work out?īecause it’s ightweight and inexpensive, I was worried there would be a catch (aka it would turn out to be a piece of crap). Now, we can have a hot meal (plus coffee!) at camp without going tout to eat. Or, we’d want a hot breakfast so we’d pack up early and stop somewhere on the way hom. We would typically plan on going into town to a restaurant if we were camping for more than one night. You can also save a ton of money by cooking more meals at camp. You can boil water in just a few minutes plus there’s about one minute of set up and no waiting for the fire to catch.
Besides fire bans, is there a reason I’d want a camp stove?Ĭamp stoves cook food way more quickly than a fire. Roadside oatmeal and coffee! A million times better than PopTarts (after already eating PopTarts three mornings in a row).
