Coleman Classic Propane StoveAbout Coleman More than 100 years ago, a young man with an entrepreneurial spirit and a better idea began manufacturing lanterns in Wichita, Kansas. His name was W.C. Coleman, and the company he founded would change life in America. A man plagued with such poor vision he sometimes had to ask classmates to read aloud to him, Coleman saw a brilliant light in 1900 in a drugstore window that stopped him in his tracks. He inquired about the light inside and discovered he was able to read even the small print on a medicine bottle by the illumination. The lamps had mantles, not wicks, and were fueled by gasoline under pressure instead of coal oil. Soon afterward, Coleman started a lighting service that offered a “no light, no pay” clause–a big step forward for merchants who were burned by inferior products that rarely worked–and drew substantial interest from businesses that wanted to keep their lights on after dark. In the ensuing years, Coleman expanded its product line well beyond lanterns. The company’s current catalog is thick with products that make spending time outdoors a pleasure. There are coolers that keep food and drinks cold for days on end, comfortable airbeds that won’t deflate during the night, a complete line of LED lights that last for years, powerful portable grills that cook with an authentic open-grill flame, and much, much more. Coleman has truly fashioned much of our outdoor camping experience, and expects to do so for generations to come.

Not new! Unattached gas line caused grill to blow up! 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.

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…
Must have in areas with electric heat/cooking and freqent blackouts. Length:: 0:50 Mins 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…
HARD TO ADJUST HEAT DUE TO GUMMY VALVES…BUT EASY FIX…READ ON 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…
