Coleman 2-Burner Fold 'N Go InstaStart Stove

Bought it because it is compact and does not take up too much room in our Westfalia. Sturdy and the electronic ignition is great.
Flawed in that the grate is too high - too far from the flame. Too much heat is lost, especially on small pots.
I will probably bend the grates so they are closer to the burners. Or use my old 3 burner Coleman.

This is another Coleman product line to serve campers in outdoor situation. Excellent product and highly recommended for all campers. I used this for first time at Virginia Beach camp 2008 and all people said is "wow".

The Fold-n-Go is cool for it's compactness and large burners. Unfortunately, my first trip with it was to a lake where it turned out to be windy, which is where this stove needs help. I had to improvise a wind shield. Add a folding wind shield to your order and you'll love this stove.

We recently took this stove camping with us in Utah. We were very tight on space so I found this stove and thought it would be a good replacement for our other full size Coleman stove.

Setup was very easy with simply unlatching the stove and unfolding it outwards. The burner grates are stored upside down and it was easy to remove them and set them up. Hooking up the propane line (stored in the middle when the stove is folded) was easy. We were cooking in less than 2 minutes after unpacking.

When it came time to cook, the first feature I fell in love with was the auto ignition. On my old stove it required a match and this was not such a major issue unless you were cooking on a low setting. Any gust of wind or slight mis-adjustment of the valve caused the flame to out and lightning of another match. The Fold n Go stove was simple to ignite. A great feature

Our first concern was how high the grate sat away from the burner. I had concerns about cooking in the wind and if this would be a problem. This was realized our first night of camping as it was very windy. It took about 15 minutes to boil water (about 3 cups worth). Also the valve/flame adjustment was very sensitive with only a slight adjustment causing the flame to go from low to high. These flaws are why I did not give it 5 stars.

However, we did find a work around for the high grate. We simply left the grate upside down in it's stored position. With our medium to large size pots we were able to cook very close to the flame and avoid the issue of the flame being to far from the burner when it was windy. This would not work for smaller pots as they would end up sitting right on the burner possibly damaging them as well as the auto ignition components.

All in all I am happy with this stove. It's compact size, auto ignition, and extreme ease in setup make it a good replacement for our full size coleman.

A bit heavy, imo, for the backpack, but perfect for the tailgate, or for living quarters. Neatly folds up into a self-contained package. May be attached either to 16.4 oz propane cannisters or 5 gallon or larger tanks. The grill tops are huge - larger in circumference than standard stove-top coils, copious. The burners are powerful and can be smoothly adjusted through a continuous range of medium to low flame. The unit is solidly constructed and the design is the current state of the art for large portable stoves.
