Portable Butane Stove with Carrying Case

Style: A- Pro: This blue butane single-burner stove is small and stylish and gives car camping a super fun home-away-from-home kind of feel. Con: The minus is not because of the stove, but because the carrying case is made of rather cheap plastic, though it is light enough and does the job of being protective and easy to tote along with other camping gear, so it's definitely not a deal-breaker for me (and the stove is so cheap that one shouldn't expect much in terms of "extras"). Ease of use: A+ I watched a couple of videos to learn how to install the butane gas and turn it on and off, but honestly, this is so user-friendly that even a kid can do it. Cook Worthiness: B+ I love gas stoves! I titled this review "better than my stove at home" because I'm cooking on an electric range at home right now, and it's just not in the same league as cooking over gas. However, I did knock a few points from this stove's cook-worthiness because it's a little tricky to get the gas at just the right level so as not to burn the pancakes/eggs/whatever you plan to cook. What I typically think of as needing medium-high heat at home seems to need more of what would be medium-low heat for this stove. The benefit of this is that it's super easy to get a good hot flame for quickly boiling water - hence coffee making can happen with ease! Stability: A+ This is my first camp stove and I have to say that I felt pretty savvy being able to cook with my cast-iron skillet while the folks that I was camping with were having trouble with a rickety metal pot toppling over their old-school style screw-on-the-gas-can single-burner stove. Versatility: A I took note of another poster's comment about using their stove to cook frozen meat and keep food from going bad during a hurricane, and I plan to do this too. Not that I'm looking forward to our next hurricane, but I'm super glad that I have this stove and I've stocked up on butane gas to make sure that I'm ready for when the next one arrives!

I just finished brewing my first pot of coffee using the single burner Coleman Butane Stove! I used the Coleman Camping Coffee maker to make it. It took about 20 mins to brew. I had previously ran a cycle of just water through the coffee maker using my Coleman 2 burner stove. So, what was weird, was on the real coffee run, I filled the pot to the 10 cup mark and the brewing stopped when the pot had, like, 11 cups in it! I guess it had some water in it from the previous, all water cycle. Anyway, the stove worked perfectly. I just inserted the butane canister and locked it down, turned the knob to start/max and on the second try it started! That was the test run. Then I put the coffee maker on the stove and turned the knob to the start/max setting and it light 1st time! It's a great little stove. It weighs next to nothing and includes a plastic carrying case. And, no, it doesn't include the butane cans. No, the filter didn't collapse. No there weren't any grounds in the coffee. Do make sure the lever that controls the pause and serve is in the out position. If it's not Swing open the filer basket and pull it out. Then close the filer basket, I attached photos of the stove with coffee maker, stove without coffee and and a pics of the lever that controls the pause and serve. In the second pic of the pause and sever lever I put a bit of aluminium foil around it to make it stand out more. Oh by the way, I ran the stove indoors. I did leave the back sliding glass door open.

another update (Dec 2018) Power outage in Nov (15 hours) due to ice storm. This was the reason I originally bought this little stove, after all. Put some water in a camp coffee pot (without the inner components), and boiled it to make tea before I left for work (gotta have my tea before I start my day!). Worked great. It came to a full, rolling boil. Was planning to make some pasta for dinner on it when I got home (checked in with the parents all thru the day, power was still out), but then power came back on about a half hour before I got home. But I know from the rolling boil I had that morning, making pasta or rice would not have been a problem. Still on that first can of fuel. ------------------------- update (Feb 2018): Have used this 3 times to do a fish fry outside (easier clean up than using the stove inside, since boiling oil tends to splatter). Still on my first can of fuel. Works great! Oil in a 10 inch cast iron skillet gets plenty hot. Fish is delish! Very pleased with this stove. ---------------------- original review: Bought this to have as a back up in case of a power outage (microwave and stove/range both work on electricity). Don't plan on using this a lot, but wanted to try it out when it arrived, just to make sure it worked, and be sure of how it works. This little thing is amazing. It lit really easy...on the first try. I'm not sure if you can use a regular Teflon skillet on a gas flame, so I used a 10 inch; cast iron skillet. It got really hot! I fried up hot dogs (first) and kielbasa after that. Took only about 20 minutes. I'm thinking you can probably fry up eggs, sausage, boil water for tea or coffee, maybe even boil water in a small pot for pasta or hot cereal. It has a dial to be able to adjust the flame, low or high. Just be sure to stay above the minimum...I went a little below that, and the flame went out. But, re-lit with no problem. In my research to find this item, it seemed like there were many brands that basically work the same way. I went with the Coleman version because I know they have been making products like this for a long time...well known name. The one thing that this one doesn't seem to do that the other ones do....others apparently come with the black burner turned down (space saver?), and when you get it, you have to flip it over. This one is already flipped, and it's secured in place. Nice and stable. My only problem with that is that you can't remove it to clean under it. I don't see any way to release or remove it. Uses butane canisters...really easy to insert. They look just like an aerosol can. I bought a pack of 4. Averaged $4 per can. If you plan on using this stove a lot (camping, tailgating, picnics, etc), then buy the large quantities available...price per can will be lower. The canister lays on its side, and goes in the compartment directly behind the dial. It has a hinged door that hides it away, and keeps it from being exposed. Unit is all-in-one, easy to move. Of all the different styles of camp stoves I researched, this one seemed to be the easiest to use, and appeared to be the safest. (There was actually one that was 'dual fuel' - one of the fuels available to be used was gasoline. I thought that was great, since fuel readily available, until I saw the tubing that carried the fuel from the tank to the input actually ran thru the flame on the burner!). This one has uses no tubing, no regulator, nothing like that. It snaps in one way, and locks in place. I didn't use the entire can, so I disconnected it, put the cap back on, and will be able to use it next time. Comes with a nice little carrying case for transport or storage. Plastic box with handle...like a mini briefcase.

The stove itself is great except I personally had a few things that I had to modify on the stove itself. The four contact points on the bottom of the stove are bare plastic stand-off's, and are slippery when on a smooth surface such as my plastic camping table. I had to glue rubber cabinet door stops on the bottom to aid in the stoves grip on smooth surfaces ( as of this writing I have used it several times and works great) no more sliding around. Second issue I had was the grill top is slippery also and no matter what kind of pan I use, the pan easily slides off, I had to rough up the surface of all four grill fingers in order for the pan to stop sliding off. I didn't realize how poorly pure butane works in cold weather. and this stove is only designed for butane and not propane ( which is superior in cold weather) so I will either purchase a dual fuel stove or use one of my older camp stoves that uses white gas. Overall I like the stove.

Video review in action: see link on picture. I like to cook outdoors, especially in the fall. (I always try to cook bacon outside on the back deck so I don't have to clean up the grease splatter in the kitchen.) I have a grill but not one with a side burner. I also have a 2-burner propane stove I've used for ~15 yrs camping. So I went looking and researching for one that I could use at home, at the park, or while camping. I stumbled on the Coleman 1-Burner Butane Stove. You'll want to shop around as I've seen the price vary from $16-35. This stove runs off butane instead of propane like many other camp stoves. The canisters are a bit smaller and should last at least an hour on full flame/heat. The nice thing about this stove is how easy it is to hook up the fuel. I've used a lot of different stoves over the years and most of them use a threaded design. This can be trouble for older children you're trying to teach how to use one and help out, older adults, and folks with dexterity issues (like rheumatoid arthritis or hand injuries for example). With this stove you don't have to thread/twist the canister on. Just drop it in the slot and push down on a lever that locks it into place and pressurizes the system. Then just turn the knob past max till it clicks and the igniter sparks into the gas. It's that easy and you're cooking! There's other things I like about this little stove too. Check out my video review to see how easy it is to operate and what else I like about it! Whether you're using this for camping, boating, back yard BBQ, or as an emergency cooking source when your power goes out, it's a great versatile addition to your gear.

I bought this single burner many years ago and it is a workhorse. It is soooooo easy to use and has come in handy at canning time, not to mention when we have lost power. It's lightweight, easy to clean and comes in a plastic carrying case. The fuel comes in an aerosol can, not as a messy liquid you have to pour. I have been very satisfied.

I'm not a camper. I bought this earlier this year, ahead of what promised to be a very active storm season. Basically, I just needed to be able to cook a hot meal and heat water. We broke it out for the first time when Hurricane Zeta struck this past Wednesday and let me just say, after a 5 day stretch with no electricity, I was thanking God I decided to buy this thing. It has performed beyond my expectations. I boiled water for washing dishes and cooked raw burgers, breakfast meats, and scrambled eggs in record time. It heats up FAST. I was using Coleman butane and one can lasted through a surprising amount of uses. Easy to set up and easy to use. Just load the can, unlock it on the front, flip the switch to ignite and control the heat with the front dial. My dad had it going in minutes having never used one like it. He, my mother, and I were in the process of recovering from Covid when that storm hit, so ease of use with this stove meant A LOT. When looking to buy, I considered a couple of different brands and types and glad I settled on this one. It only has one burner, but I didn't really mind it. If you're pressed for space like I am, trust me. You'll want to stick with something this small. It's the perfect size and it performs well. What more could you ask for? If you live in an area prone to bad weather, get yourself a camp stove like this one and stockpile fuel. Best thing you can do for yourself. I'd give this one 4 thumbs up if I could, highly recommend!

I've been using Coleman camping gear for more than 50 years; I always go to Coleman for the quality and reliability. This stove is no exception: it worked perfectly the first time (this is my first butane stove) and works every time. Light-weight; doesn't take up much room (comes in a plastic case); and a must-have for an emergency. Easy to use; cleanup is a breeze (unless you happen to be particularly clumsy and/or messy); and easy to store. There are several nearly identical single-burner butane stoves -- probably all manufactured by the same Chinese company as the Coleman stove (my only disappointment: not USA-made), but not all of them measure up to the Coleman standards. So, now that I've tested this one (about 10 meals; gone through 1 8.5-oz. butane cartridge and 1/4 of another), I'll buy another one. (Unfortunately, since Amazon raised the price within days after I purchased mine, I'll probably buy through another source.) I buy the butane at Sam's Club: 4 8.5-oz cartridges for $5.22.

Coleman siempre es calidad, excelente estufeta, la uso para campamentos.

This is a great stove to have on hand for power outages. Easy to store, light weight, good carrying case. Seems sturdy and easy to use.

المنتج راااائع ولاكن سعر مرتفع هنالك خيارات افضل بسعر مناسب وبنفس الجودة

This stove loads the cheaper butane canisters (3 for $10 at Cdn Tire) with the simple push of a lever. The piezo igniter lights every time when you rotate the control to full so no matches are ever required. Full control of the flame from low simmer to high boil. Burner distributes the heat over a large area so no hot spots on your pan to burn. The perfect stove to take camping or to use in the back yard.
