This is not the old Coleman products we all knew from past camping. fishing etc. The metal side wind shields are made cheap and one of the brads holding one side on was already broken when received. The other side and any similar fasteners would not have lasted either. Sorry to say cannot recommend and sorry to see a great name fall to this sort of manufacturing. Returned to Amazon.

The valves in this stove are a big source of frustration, BUT there seems to be an easy fix, and once done the stove is perfect….just what you expect from Coleman. All you have to do is use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the knobs on the valves. Then unscrew the brass nut that secures it to the front of the stove. Now back out the valve stem using the knob and remove the stem that has two O rings and the brass needle valve. Take a clean paper towel and wipe the gunk or the valve lube off of the O rings thoroughly. I blame the lube for the problem. The rings were in good condition. I then applied a tiny amount of silicone based plumber’s grease, but you have to be sure you don’t use one that is petroleum jelly or it can ruin the rubber. I bought a tube for a few bucks on Amason. Then I twisted some of the paper towel into a point and swabbed out the inside of the valve, but don’t leave any paper in there or you are in trouble. Don’t use a Q tip either or the fuzz may come off in there. Here is link for the silicone lube:

I didn’t put too much lube on the O rings, and with my fingers I wiped it around the rings leaving only a light coat. Then reassemble. Now the valves can be adjusted neatly and precisely to reduce flame for simmering and easier control. I don’t know if the factory used a valve lube that gives the valve that rubbery feeling that makes it hard to set the flame precisely, but once I did this operation the stove is a pleasure to use. If it needs to be repeated the job takes only a few minutes with few tools. Hope everyone finds this post without having to go through the learning curve. Please give a thumbs up to save everyone some trouble. I changed my review now from 1 star to 4 star and think in the long run this is the best propane camp stove out there and will last longer than my Blue Rhino…which was good but the regulators flake out much too soon to be considered a good long term stove. BTW, this stove is for our outdoor kitchen (under the porch and not in the rain) and we use it almost daily.

I bought this after a big blizzard hit northeast PA leaving me without power for close to six days without electric in the dead of winter. I have electric heat and an electric stove/oven. Needless to say, not a good situation, especially that for two days the roads were blocked by downed trees. All I had to cook with with a BBQ without the side burner, making my cooking options limited at best. Once electric, internet, and cellular service were restored in my area, I immediately ordered this.
Setting it up was very easy. I also got the matching Coleman 5-Ft. High-Pressure Propane Hose and Adaptor for this, as I read the reviews and many people stated that the Amazon recommended Char-broil brand propane hose is NOT compatible with this. I hooked this to a 20-lb propane tank, which turning/screwing it in COUNTER-CLOCKWISE into the opening of the 20-lb tank. It quickly attached, and the rest of this went together quickly.
Operation:
It was a little windy and the temps outside were 32 degrees according to the thermometer on my deck. I boiled a small pot of water in 8 minutes. Works very good and burns so clean that you will have a hard time seeing the flame when the sun is out.
Shutdown was easy. I let it cool and I packed it up. What is nice is that valve and the accessory Coleman 5-Ft. High-Pressure Propane Hose and Adaptor fit inside the grill and you can lock then up inside it so no worries about losing anything. There is a little handle on it to carry it.
I recommend it. Nice to have around in case of a lengthy blackout.

I wanted to love this, as I’ve owned one before, but I have one complaint, which is why I gave it three stars. If that issue was fixed, this would be a five star review. That problem is the control valves. There’s very little room for fine adjustment of the flame…it’s either off, or nearly on full blast, with very little space to fine-tune the flame. I’ve had other propane stoves that allowed a wide range of adjustment, but these controls feel cheap and sloppy, and give me very little ability to turn down the flame to a simmer. Not what I expected from Coleman, as I’ve owned one of these before, and it didn’t have this problem. It’s still useable, which is why I didn’t send it back, but the quality seems to have slipped a bit since I last owned one.

Bought this product as a birthday gift for my husband in March. We did not open it till this past week when we went camping for the first time. Upon opening, there was no extra packaging to show it may be new. Then, one of the burners was already brown and black, and the corners of the grill looked like someone had pried it open.
We tried it anyways since we had nothing else to cook our food with for the week. After putting the propane tank in, it sounded like propane was leaking even when all the burners were off. We tried lighting it and it literally blew up at us with flames.
We opened it up to find a propane gas line for one of the burners was completely disconnected and just pouring propane into the open bottom of the grill. This caused the grill to ignite into flames nearly burning us and/or injuring us severely.
As I said before, we had nothing else to cook with so we tried to twist the unattached propane line to pinch it off in hopes we could use the grill. It did not work. So, we had to drive into a town the next day and purchase another camp stove for $70 at a local hardware store.
I do not recommend buying this grill, at least not off amazon, if you want to ensure you get one that actually works and is not a danger to you and your family.
