Coleman Micro Stove Test
October 5, 2010 Camping Propane Stoves
Just a quick video showing the new Coleman Micro Stove and a Stansport 4 Party Cookset we picked up from WalMart. I placed an order on their website since they had free shipping and my local store was out of the Micro Stoves. Seems like a pretty well made little stove! It is lightweight and very portable being able to be thrown in a cargo pants pocket and making it a great inexpensive backpacking option! The only downside is the base of the stove which won’t allow the use of larger pots or pans. I would say eight inches and under in diameter and lightweight should work just fine. You also want to keep the stove on a level sturdy surface to eliminate tip overs. Keep kids away from it while it’s in use! The Stansport cookset is decent for the price. The really nice thing about this set is that everything stores in the large cooking pot. For a single person or even two people, this set would be overkill for backpacking. It is a complete set which will do the job nicely for us (family of 4). I know that cooking on aluminum can be a tough task but for camping or an emergency situation, it will do the trick! It’s good to have back up methods for preparing food. My Wife and I did try the Mountain House Beef Stew and it was tasty. So we will look at more of their products for future trips. More on the way….just need to get organized a bit. Thanks for watching!

@CharlesMartel911 Hey Charles! It is pretty decent for the price. I looked at the MSR stoves and didn’t want to pay that much for something I was basically going to use to boil water. This does the job pretty well! Thanks for watching!
