Coleman EvenTemp InstaStart Three-Burner Propane Stove

Comments about Coleman EvenTemp InstaStart Three-Burner Propane Stove:

regulator connection to stove is poorly designed and prone to leakage. I have had this stove for 4 years now and have the redesigned regulator connection. It failed this past weekend causing a small explosion inside the stove due to propane leakage inside the stove. I am tossing this into the metal recycle bin.

I loved this product so much I got one for my dad. I like cooking a good food. I want a quality camp stove when I am car camping. This one does the trick. Great at producing heat, but can ocassional be difficult if trying to cook something on low heat. Generally easy to clean, however, there have been some explosions where i've had to take the stove apart to clean it. Although this is relatively easy. I would definitely reccomend this product to my family and freinds. Great product for the price. I would also recomend the griddle that is designed for use with this stove.

I've owned this stove for three years now and have used it a total of 7-8 times. It has been a great stove up until this last trip when I was in the middle of no where and found out the interior gas lines had ruptured. None of the soldered joints were bad. Just the line had split open. Left me without a stove for two days. There has been no abuse to the stove or high pressure lines or freezes so why the lines split I do not know. Expensive for only three years. Not the lifetime product I'm used to from Coleman.

This stove is above belief. It has as many per burner BTUs as my house stove.

My initial tests involved frying a pound of bacon, frying 4 eggs and boiling water. It fried a pound of bacon so fast (less than 10 minutes), I barely had time to get them off the griddle; they turned out very crispy but still edible. I used all 3 burners and the coleman griddle w/drip pan (also very nice) on medium heat (or so I thought it was medium heat) it proved to be over kill. I'll scale back the heat next time and try using only 2 burners or even 1 burner on medium or high to cook the bacon. I fried 4 eggs using 1 large burner on medium heat and a non-stick fry pan in less then 5 mins; they came out perfect. I was able to boil 1 qt of water with lid on in a 2 qt sauce pan using 1 large burner on high in less than 10 mins. My wife asked me to do a comparison between the coleman stove and our house stove, the GE XL44 which has 1x5K, 2x9.5K and 1x12K BTU burners. The coleman stove was just as powerful as our house stove IMO. This stove has a lot of uses. I can see now we'll use it for camping, backyard grilling, cookouts and emergencies.
