Coleman Single Burner Dual Fuel Stove

I have the small single burner unit.

I bought it because it packs away small. In windy conditions, it's crap, you need a damn good windbreak around it.

It is stable enough for a small skillet, but if you want to get to the valve, it's a bit of a chore.

I use mine, or a MSR Dragonfly, for when I'm on my own, and I'm in no hurry for hot water or meals. I company is coming... I take my gas units.

Phil,
I initially bought the double burner stove then I decided the single burner stoves were more practical for me. I bought two of them for versatility.
The reasons I went away from the stove were that there was a lot of wasted space and the second burner was pretty useless.
The single burners put out more heat, are compact and as a wind break, I use 3 leaves of 1mm aluminium sheet approx size of A4 paper. The sheets are joined using piano hinge so that they fold flat and take up little room.
Now wolfy would be an excellent person to know for making up the wind breaks. I'm sure he could come up with an ingeneous way of making them.

Worth trying is the cartridge stove, the ones with the aerosol type gas cartridge. We now have 2 and find them more versatile than a 2 burner stove. Posibly not the most economic, but with 4 cartridges for about 6 bucks at kmart you cant go wrong. For approx 3 weeks we go through maybe 6 cartridges. The btu rating is about 8000 similar to the main burner on a dual fuel, compared to 6000 on a campanion or similar type stove. Another bonus is the case forms a windbreak and the cost is about $25. Happy Camping

I find the coleman fuel also works best, making for cleaner burn, more heat, and more adjustability when turning down for simmer etc.
