To evaluate wind resistance, we use a box fan to simulate wind, and measure how long it takes for each stove to boil 1 liter of water in our trusty kettle. With adjustable windscreens, the Coleman Cascade can accommodate larger pots or provide better wind protection. Lucky them, our testers have been doing side-by-side comparisons for years, and have cooked a lot of excellent food in the process. If you’re ok with one dish at a time, or simple one-pot meals, you can save space and a lot of money by opting for a single-burner like the Gas One.
I`m happy with my Eventemp 3 and it fits me and my family perfectly for our car camping trips where we set up a basecamp that doesn`t move. Finally, set up and clean up on this stove was incredibly easy. There was almost no set up involved when originally opening the box, I believe I just had to install the wind blockers and put on the grate. For clean-up, I simply removed the grate and easily wiped everything down. We believe in offering the very best value, quality, and selection.
Coleman also inserted a tightly rolled wire screen in the fuel tube before the generator to catch larger particles that could clog the generator . This urn burner is made with a Coleman burner and other parts so the appliance may have been made by Coleman as well. However, Dick Sellers, whose collection this is in, has not seen any paper documentation for this model but notes that in the 1920’s Coleman shipped thousands of urn burners. Joe Pagan restored this Model 9D stove, successor to Model 9C above. Joe gave the stove back to his boyhood friend, Tim French; the stove had belonged to Tim’s father.
This coleman stove was the most difficult of the tabletop camping stoves to carry with one hand. When it came to temperature control, this stove was among the best. We only needed minimal adjustments to keep water in a 5-degree temperature range for 5 minutes. The auto ignition button is easy to use and worked every time. Despite other stoves having a higher output per burner, the Everest’s 20,000 BTU burners had the fastest boil time in our test, taking barely 2 and a half minutes to boil 1 liter of water.

But it’s a plenty large enough surface for food to serve two to four. Also, while not a negative aspect, it’s worth mentioning that the grill/griddle attachments provide a fairly small surface area.
