I had recently experienced my first ever camping trip in my 31 years of life. I must say it was a blast. While we were there we went with my in laws who had an established setup with a pop-up camper. They were using a Coleman propane two burner stove in which something clogged up the gas line and we had to resort to using the open fire pit as a stove. Not a good combination. I wanted a simple stove that would not require the extra weight or expense of having to either dispose of portable bottles or making sure large tank was filled prior to the trip. I researched many brands and types and this Coleman powerhouse dual fuel was the one for me. You can cook evenly and the temperature is amazing. I will primarily use camp fuel but if in a pinch I can siphon some regular unleaded fuel from a vehicle and this too will keep my stove ready for the family to enjoy either hot food or in an emergency heat to boil water to be safely consumed.
