We’ve used MSR stoves all over the world for backpacking, but most of their light and compact designs have limited appeal for car camping. Enter the WindBurner Stove Combo System, which includes one of MSR’s highest-performing canister stoves, the WindBurner, along with a 2.5-liter pot and 8-inch skillet for groups. As with the backpacking model, the accessories connect directly to the stove for efficient cooking and consistent heat even in windy conditions. The system is no small investment at $300, but the all-in-one setup has obvious appeal for those new to camping and backpacking. The Triton’s he dual burners each pump out 11,000 BTUs of power, and they can boil water at full blast or be dialed down for simmering. The Triton stove is widely available and uses standard propane fuel canisters.
And it offers way more heat output (40,000 Btu, versus the Coleman Classic’s 20,000 Btu). As a result, Camp Chef assumes that you’re not running 1-pound propane bottles with a stove like this and defaults to a hose for a larger propane tank. The width of camping stoves varies significantly and can have an impact on what types of cookware you can use.
The 12,000-each BTU burners, combined with what I consider much improved dials compared to previous Colemans, contributed to this success. The stove stayed
upright on my camp table, and it proved sturdy enough to withstand the wind. I felt comfortable enough to keep the heat cranked and the dinner cookin’.

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.
When disposing of your bottle, be sure that you’ve completely emptied the tank of all of its remaining gas. Attaching a tank to an open valve on your stove will burn off the final fractions of fuel, but be aware that the last bits of fuel and vapor leave the canister at a remarkably slow rate. Always keep the valve open—even after the flames have sputtered—for about a minute or two to ensure that any final vapor has escaped.
