Coleman F1 Lite Stove (8)

Used this stove now for over 18 monthsPros - lightweight, compact and efficient (subject to wind shield). Flame adjustable to a very low setting so allows a degree of "gourmet" cooking.Cons - needs a gas canister support to vastly improve stability. Fiddly to assemble prior to use.Good purchase at a reasonable price, with no issues regarding melting plastic mentioned by other reviewer. Several similar products available costing more but this does the job.

This TINY Coleman is easily the best camping stove we've ever had the pleasure of using, I still can't get over just how small it packs down and is surprisingly stable even perched on top of a small gas canister, uneven ground, and with a wide pan on top. It's helped us cook real meals in some unreal places... Pictured is our cooking asparagus to go with some delicious local lamb, trackside on the breezy Snaefell mountain road (The Isle of Man TT)! :)

It is unbelievably small and works really well. Nice and easy to set up, although with the large gas bottles (500+) you have to be slightly careful with balancing, which isn't really too much of an issue if you're not stupid and careless!

Nice Product, but loses two stars from me as it doesn't come with fuel (as shown in pic here)Luckily it wasn't a purchase made with a time limit so i'll get on & order it. Bit sneaky to sellnot as advertised tho.Update : Gas Bottle in pic since removed ;)

This is perfect for carrying in a backpack it's tiny but packs a heat punch, I use it combined with a wind guard and that makes a big difference, I like that you can detach it from the fuel container and re-attach it later, the pan sits on the top just right and feels very secure if you tighten it up correctly (which my mate didn't with terrible results) but when used correctly I doubt you can beat it's performance with anything comparable...

Excellent little stove a bit fragile though ( store in a strong little box if throwing in a ruck sack)

If you're looking for a lightweight gas stove this is it.Excellent performance, tiny package, and durable stuff.You might miss some of the extras: wind shield, reheater coils, etc, but you have to keep in mind that this is a bare bones setup.There are, of course, lighter options involving solid fuel but this is it when it comes to gas cartridges.

I bought this stove because it is compact and uses these gas canisters. I have a metal tin that it, plus kettle and cups fit into so it is handy for stopping on long trips in the car for a brew. As it folds up into a tiny draw string bag, it would be good for backpacking too.
