Coghlan's Stove

This thing falls flat and is very stable when assembled – it's design fits canned heat and mini alcohol stoves perfectly. All four sides provide and effective windscreen while allowing enough air to enter to promote a very hot flame. I have not used it for actual camping, but have tested it at home and it is a very nice unit– it doesn't weigh a lot and folds flat for easy storage in a backpack or a to go bag – the latter is my intended purpose since I don't camp anymore. I bought two of the units for two bug out bags – because, we could get separated and we'll both need to have something to cook on or provide heat for warming hands. I think my purchase was a good one and would recommend this item for those who are not concerned with having the absolute lightest thing on the market.

This stove is great for general camping where you'll have some bigger pots and pans that due to its sturdy 4 walls. It collapses down for portability. Tested against competitors like the firemaple and BRS which are more appropriate for backpacking. Choose the appropriate stove based on those needs.For those interested. It takes 10 minutes to boil a cup of water using a Coghlans camp heat which is plenty fast. Propane options will be faster due to the ability to control the flame.

Id give it 4 stars because of the price and sturdiness of the product. It wasnt hard to assemble but it took some bending of the tabs to get the tray to snug in. Does not keep the wind from blowing the heat away from your pot/pan though. I had a small breeze and it took forever to cook rice. Sterno isnt really the best for quick cooking anyway. Stove folds almost flat. Would i buy another? No. Id rather use a small isobutane stove. But for sterno lovers, its a good purchase.

Very nice and compact. Well built. We keep in the house incase we loose power so we can cook inside.

Muy buena herramienta

I tested it out in the house with a pot of soup. It works just put a lid on when cooking/warming food up.

What a great addition to our camping gear. Perfect for any single serving meal or hot drinks.

I am stuck between giving it 3 or 4 stars, wish I could say 3.5 stars. It is a cheap good little stove to have on hand for an emergency (I haven't actually used it yet so let's hope it is good) but the assembly is not as easy as most people had said (unless there is something wrong with mine). I kind of had to fight with it to get it locked into place but eventually was able to. I suppose that is what you get for $12. I'm not returning it though (if that says anything).
