Coleman Two-Burner Power Pack Stove

This is a great product and you'll enjoy it even more if you wait for the price to drop to Amazon's August 2008 price of $39.25.

I purchased this stove as a replacement for this one Coleman Two-Burner Propane Stove. I LOVE the new stove but wish i had looked at the size and weight a little closer before I purchased it, it is too big and heavy for camping unless it is a short hike in or you are car camping. The flame adjustment works exactly the way you would expect it to, and the little touches like the cylinder support on the back and the included non stick griddle are very nice. I would agree with other reviews that state the lid is a little hard to open but not so hard as to make it unusable.

Finally got to use this Labor Day weekend! Great piece of equipment. 30K BTU's is more than any camper will actually need. 1 fuel canister lasted 3 cooking sessions and the full size griddle was a big help for both breakfast's.
Only draw back is packing it, would be nice if they included a carrying case for the full size griddle and unit.

GREAT PRODUCT HUBBY TOOK THE FAMILY CAMPING AND HE MADE MAHI MAHI WE HAD PREVIOUSLY MARINATED AND SUMMER VEGATABLES . IN THE MORNING OF MY B DAY HE MADE PANCAKES. FOR A FAMILY OF 6 I KNEW I NEED SOMETHING BIG AND MY HUSBAND WAS WELL IMPRESSED WITH THIS PRODUCT.

I bought this without looking to see how big it was. It's huge! Compared to the standard two burner camping stoves, this thing is a monster.

It works great. With the griddle, we cooked 12 1/4lb hamburgers at once, in about 3 minutes, with the thing barely turned past "light". We cooked two dinners and two breakfasts and used 1-1/2 canisters of fuel, so it does seem to use more than smaller units, but it does cook quickly.

One thing that's really annoying is it won't stand upright. The handle in the front is good for picking it up, but you can't set it down on its back, it just falls over. The rounded sides mean it won't stand on its side either. With the big "feet" sticking out, it takes up even more space in the trunk. I'm going to put some brackets on the back so it will stand upright (like a briefcase). I'm thinking of removing the big plastic feet, and seeing if I can just put in some adjustable feet so I can easily level it.

It's a great stove when you have a lot of people. I got it primarily for car camping trips where we have 6 or more people. Good for for bbqs when you need more than one grill. Probably overkill for car camping for two, but if you do a lot of outdoor cooking for groups, it's a great stove.
