Coleman has been a well known and respected name in outdoor cooking for as long as I can remember. (no jokes about my age, or memory, lol) They not only produce stoves, but also many other outdoor items; lights, sleeping bags, packs, air beds, heaters, dog products, furniture, etc.
I have an EvenTemp™ InstaStart™ 3-Burner Stove with Griddle, that has been a great item for many different outdoor activities. I have cooked dozens of burgers for a scout family cookout, grilled chicken, lamb and steak for a family reunion, made pancakes and boiled water for meals at a base camp, and for three days after a lightening strike knocked out our power, I cooked all our meals on it. It was so easy to use, and clean up, that it is the first to get pulled out when its time to cook while camping. The griddle makes cooking pancakes or burgers easy – no way for things to fall through to the bottom and make a mess. The side wind shields really help cut down on the wind interfering with the flame, they also fold down and are a great place for resting utensils. The ability to adjust the flame so precisely is great especially when cooking something that requires more control than just boiling water. I think my favorite thing about the EvenTemp stove is that it lights every time, on the first try. Surprisingly, since it was used so much, I didn’t have to replace the fuel canister until last September – after using it all summer.
