And on outings where you don’t need the added burner(s), simply leave one of the stoves behind. Cook breakfast, lunch and dinner on a stove
that folds up easily with the Coleman® PerfectFlow™ 2-Burner Stove. The large cooking surface gives you space to prepare different dishes.
As such, for large groups a more powerful flame (20,000 BTUs and up) is recommended. With that extra output comes greater fuel consumption, which can become an issue if a powerful stove is fueled by a small 16-ounce
propane bottle. You’ll definitely want to bring along a few back-up canisters if you’ll be out for more than an overnight trip, and we’ve found that two quality 10,000-BTU burners are ample for most uses.
When you’re ready to leave camp, the burner and base easily separate from the propane bottle for compact packing. Need a lightweight outdoor stove for backpacking, hunting, or camping? Look no further than the Coleman Portable Bottle-Top Propane Stove, which fits up to an 8-inch pan above a fully adjustable burner for precise temperature control and up to 10,000 BTUs of cooking power. Brew coffee, heat up hot dogs, and so on, knowing you can enjoy up to 2.5 hours of cooking on just one 16.4 oz. PerfectFlow technology keeps that heat steady, even in extreme conditions, and a large base offers stability for easy stirring.
As with cooking at home, two burners going at the same time will get most meals cooked in a timely manner. Additionally, it’s often the better choice over the more limited single-burner stove, although some designs (like the MSR WindBurner Stove Combo System) do have appeal for crossing over into backpacking. And for large gatherings, there are three-burner stoves like the Coleman Cascade 328. In many cases with a large group, however, it’s not a bad idea to put the onus on someone else to bring along a second stove, as packing a three-burner can be burdensome from a weight and bulk perspective.
The Triton stove can comfortably hold a 12-inch pan and 10-inch next to each other, and its frame will support a fair amount of weight. I had a hefty pot of boiling pasta on one burner and a pan full of searing chicken legs on the other without any issues. That doesn’t mean you should try to sit on it (nobody wants that kind of toasty buns!), and it still needs a flat surface to function this well. The Coleman Triton stove
was my kitchen away from home for a 2,000 mile road trip through Oregon, Nevada, and California where my wife and I visited several National Parks and Monuments. Every breakfast and dinner we had during those two weeks was cooked on the Triton’s two burners. Ravioli were boiled to perfection, eggs were made over easy, and sloppy joes were simmered for exactly 30 minutes as per the rules of my mama’s secret recipe.
The pot supports help shield your cooking flame from the wind, while the large eight-inch burner bowl should fit most any pot. This Coleman one-burner stove can boil a quart of water in just four minutes! This stove operates on one 16.4-ounce cylinder of Coleman propane (not included). Camp Chef’s Everest is one of the most popular and proven designs in the world of camping stoves, offering a hard-to-beat combination of cooking power, convenience, and superior reliability. In terms of output, you get two large burners that pump out plenty of heat (20,000 BTUs each) but also have excellent simmer control for cooking more diverse and intricate meals. Combined with a reasonable 12-pound weight and integrated handle, the Everest 2X is hard to beat.
Uncovered, the Coleman Classic boiled water in 5 minutes on the right burner and 6 minutes 30 seconds on the left burner. The Coleman Classic also boiled water 3 minutes faster than the more expensive (and reportedly more powerful) Coleman FyreCadet. What separates it from the Classic (and adds to the price tag) is more control throughout the range of cooking temperatures.
