Our Coleman Classic Propane Stove review looks at a classic camping staple countless families have lugged into the wilderness. This stove is the standard
upon which all other propane stoves have been built. Its a simple and inexpensive 2-burner stove that’s the perfect purchase for beginner campers.
Built well with solid materials, this stove doesn’t need to be delicately handled. This is the Genuine Manufacturer Sourced replacement check valve that is designed for specific Coleman Lanterns and Stoves. The check valve and air stem are both made of brass and come together when ordered.
For obvious reasons, though, the single-burner options are much lighter and more comfortable to carry, and the freestanding stoves are a bear to haul around. Where the Cascade shines is in the finer control it allows throughout the range of temperatures. Most camping stoves, including our top pick, have a tendency to jump temperatures, from very low to very high, with barely a touch of the hand. In our testing, thanks to the Cascade’s finer control, we could gently cook soft scrambled eggs, fry an egg fully without burning the bottom, or sauté vegetables without having to move the pan every 30 seconds.

The Cascade is similar to the Classic stove, but it allows you to adjust cooking temperatures with more precision and includes a handle for easier carrying. This is a genuine OEM sourced replacement part for Coleman lanterns or stoves.
This item is made out of graphite and it is sold individually. Adding to cart will provide an accurate pick up/delivery date. I was able to reduce the flame to make over easy eggs, which will never be possible over a roaring fire.
