Coleman Propane Camping Stove/Grill

Coleman products have such exceptional quality that the camping stove that belonged to my parents, well over 30 years old, is still going strong. After countless camping trips, tailgate parties and short getaways, the old stove still functions as good as new. That said, Coleman has made some significant improvements to their camping stoves that may make you consider an upgrade, even though your older products probably still work fine. The new matchless one-touch electronic ignition makes the new Coleman stove as easy as pie to light. That's right, no more pumping fuel. And speaking of fuel, this stove uses those handy mini-propane cannisters instead of liquid fuel -- much easier and no chance of spillage or mess. Best of all, this new camping stove can act as a stove, or as a grill -- with authentic drip-through grilling capacity, making it an extemely compact, yet versatile camping or tailgating accessory. That's right, you can grill and cook at the same time with two 10,000 BTU burners. An optional griddle accessory makes the stove even more versatile. The equipment's grease management system has an integral channel that carries grease away and is easily collected in a removable dishwasher safe reservoir.
