This is what we used for camping when I was a kid so naturally I'm doing the same thing for my kids. Coleman is pretty amazing,always great products that I know if do far. This stove arrived earlier than expected,we tried it out immediately and made pancakes on a griddle,it worked perfect. Everyone needs this if your not always use the campfire for a meal. We've used this a lot,mostly for cooking pancakes,eggs,sausage and some coffee. Glad to have this with us while camping.
