Choose this based on the type of camping and camp cooking you’re going to do. Of every circle, you find yourself back at the beginning. This is the best way to think about Coleman’s new Cascade and 1900 series 3-in-1 stoves. After playing around with interesting designs in stove shape, burner design, and power, as well as cooking surfaces, Coleman is coming back around to where it started. Its newest stoves look much like the classics from the 1950s and before . Coleman Cascade 3-in-1 Camping Stove — The Cascade 3-in-1 Camping Stove is very similar to the Cascade 2-Burner Camping Stove.

If speed is a priority for your boiling needs, however, one option is to pair the Classic with a rapid-boiling backpacking model like the JetBoil MiniMo. Not only will this mean you get your morning coffee faster, but it frees up a burner to make extra pancakes. For the jaw-dropping price ($470) of the Snow Peak GigaPower Double Burner Stove, it should be the best camping stove you can buy, or at least the most versatile. Although it’s made from excellent materials and built to the standards that Snow Peak is famous for, this stove misses the mark. It requires two separate Isopro bottles to work; running it from a single larger tank, even with conversion valves, is difficult. On top of that, during our tests the legs and wind screen both felt unpleasantly insecure when we were cooking on the stove.
There is also a version that costs roughly $20 more, the Triton InstaStart, and comes with a Piezo ignition. We like both stoves, and think it really depends if you prefer an automatic ignition or not. 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.

This particular model has a removable grill so I took that out.
They still retain the wire clips that let you adjust angle, which is a benefit. The biggest drawback to the older Coleman Classic Camp Stove is the fuzzy knobs for flame control.

You’ll appreciate the latch when you use the stove’s built-in recessed carry handle, too.
