Summary: Great Stove
Comment: Great stove for car camping or just to have around the house. Purchased because it will burn unleaded gasoline or standard camp fuel (basically gasoline as well), not to mention not having to deal with those obnoxious propane bottles. Could be constructed a little more bullet-proof, but it still seems like it will last quite a while. Lights quickly and burns cleanly on camp fuel (haven't needed to use gasoline yet).
Would definitely buy again.

Summary: Better than my dad's!
Comment: I remember my dad's green & red Coleman stove on camping trips, as a child. There was a lot of sentimental value tied to that green metal case and the sound of pumping that red gas can. When I got married, and got into car camping with my wife, I went with the duel-fuel Coleman stove + Pwrhouse DF Coleman Lantern. I would have liked the red gas can, but the DF is much more practical using reg. unleaded gas. We have also used it when power went out in our neighborhood during a winter wind storm.
Performance-wise, it's much more efficient than a typical propane model, since you have more BTU's and can pump it up as your can pressure decreases. I'd say it also makes you feel more involved as a camper, since you do more than just hook up a can and go.
I've had mine for 8 yrs now and still enjoy it.

Summary: Good stove that lasts and lasts
Comment: I bought this stove for a recent camping trip after using one my brother has for over 10 years. The materials used today is slightly flimsier than my brothers stove, but overall functionality and other critical materials seemed to be the same. The stove was easy to light up and came with a fuel filter/funnel. It turned out great for use with smaller frying pans and pots and provided plenty of cooking heat. The wind guard helps tremendously in the area we were at and allowed cooking where other unshielded butane stoves couldn't be used. The design allows easy storage and carrying with a handle to allow the stove to be carried like a small brief case.
During the trip a friend brought his Powerhouse version of this stove providiing more BTU and having a larger cooking surface. This was great for larger pots and the extra added BTU cooked a bit quicker. So consider the larger unit if necessary. It'll all depend on what you're using it for and how big of a family/group you are cooking for.
Things to watch out for. Although these are dual fuel - try not to mix the fuels. Always use fresh fuel or else it can take a while for these stoves to "warm up" and burn cleanly. Be sure to oil the pump mechanism on a regular basis. Basically there is a little more maintenance than propane models but it's really worth it. The older models seemed to be more rust resistant as well so be sure to clean up parts and pour out fuel before long term storage.
Most parts are easily replaceable/repairable and can be easily sourced.

Summary: Great stove.
Comment: My first Coleman stove started acting up, so I decided to replace it. I have some concerns about the quality control of my first stove; it was only 35 years old (sarcasm). Of course I never did any maintenance on it, so maybe it was my fault.
The best stove for "car" camping. More fuel efficient and more reliable than propane. "Coleman". Says it all. Coleman is camping.

Summary: Loving this old standard
Comment: I purchased this product for a recent car camping excursion to Algonquin Provincial Park. Previously, I had a propane stove by the Coleman. I switched to the liquid fuel model to be more environmentally friendly. While the liquid fuel is a little more cumbersome than propane, I found the extra trouble was well worth it.
The burner controls on the liquid gas stove made it much easier to regulate the flame thereby giving you a better heat range to cook different types of food, whereas the propane stove went to high almost immediately. Plus, the Park claimed that it costed them $2.50 to dispose of the nonrefillable propane tanks. A friend of mine suggested refilling the propane tanks myself, but there is a clear warning on the side of the tank that says there is a risk of explosion. However, you can buy an adapter and use the larger barbeque-type tanks for the propane stove, but who would want to haul one of these babies for car camping.
So there you have it. Better flame control and greener. Also you can buy a liquid fuel bottle (I bought one made by MSR) to make the transport of the fuel easier.
