I had an old Coleman stove that I bought at a yard sale about 30 years ago. I don't even know how old it was when I bought it. My wife decided it was old and needed to be replaced, so she sold it in a yard sale. I was horrified! Anyway, I ordered this one to replace the old one and I could not be happier with it. One day it was blown off the table by a micro burst and bent the hinges a little. I bent it back and it's as good as new. Coleman makes great camping stoves that last for years and years. If you need a camping stove, this one is a great value for the money.
