Feeding your crew has never been easier with Coleman grills and camp stoves. Find various sizes for grills and stoves so that you can enjoy the convenience your Coleman camping gear brings to outdoor recreation. For the same price, you would be hard-pressed to find a better stove than the Classic, but for a little more money, the Coleman Cascade Classic simmers better and is more fuel efficient.
The Coleman Peak 1 Backpacking Stove — bit bulky, bit heavy compared to most other white gas stoves (i.e., MSR WhisperLite). Totally big and heavy compared to any canister stove or ultra-light alcohol burner. I am sure this review applies to the new model as well…they are exactly the same except for the tank design. I think the newer wider base with no legs might be better. Used in in all types of conditions, run hard and put away wet. Once started, I pump (if you need a fast boil) a little more.
The system is no small investment at $300, but the all-in-one setup has obvious appeal for those new to camping and backpacking. It takes up about twice as much space as the tabletop stoves we tested.
Add in the fact that it draws fuel from a large propane tank, and it will quickly eat up a lot of space in your vehicle. Trying to use pots on all three burners at once felt pretty crowded.
If you are backpacking, canoe camping or even just need to hike into your campsite, then the Eventemp 3 is going to be too big and too heavy. Breakfasts, pastas, meats and more were all cooking directly on it along with my Coleman Family Cookset. Finally, with 28,000 BTUs of cooking power, you will not find yourself under-powered by any means while trying to complete any of your camp cooking. This is a genuine OEM Coleman pump cup used with gas lanterns. The pump plunger fits through the hole in this pump cup, which then fits inside the pump itself.
Unlike our main pick and upgrade pick (both of which are classic two-burner stoves), the FireDisc has a single burner with the pan included. It’s ideal for cooking large, one-pan meals for big groups of campers. For one, a stronger flame will allow you to cook more food faster—you can trim minutes off your time when boiling a large pot of water. As such, for large groups a more powerful flame (20,000 BTUs and up) is recommended.
Perfect for those times when trail mix just won’t cut it, the Cascade 3-in-1 Camping Stove makes it easy to cook great meals outdoors. The recessed carry handle makes the stove portable so you can bring it to the campsite or park, and its grill and griddle accessories help you cook up a variety of top-notch food. Its removable cast-iron pan support and aluminized steel cooktop are quick and easy to clean. Perfect for those times when trail mix just won’t cut it, the Cascade Burner Camping Stove makes it easy to cook great meals outdoors.
Coleman in Wichita made the popular 425 series beginning in 1948. These Model 425 stoves, in John Stendahl’s collection, are undated. Coleman used the parallelogram decals inside the top lids on their stove models beginning with the 425 Model above (upper
image). This earliest Model 425 has a brown painted tank and has external brackets to secure the legs when extended. Coleman changed the tank finish to bronze lacquer (lower image) apparently not long after introducing the brown painted tank version.
At the base, they’re no different than any other windscreen on any stove. I did much of my testing in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, in up to 30-knot winds. Both stoves did as well as could be expected, though it’s worth noting that no stove will cook well in 30-knot winds. I have two Peak 1 stoves, both built in the early 1980s, and I won’t buy a new one unless I have no choice. The flame control from simmer to full works perfectly, and that is a huge plus when simmering pasta/sauce for 10 minutes. A 3 burner camp stove like the Coleman Eventemp 3 is perfect for a few different people.
