Summary:
THis thing is great! i got it like in jan of 04 and it looks a little different than the one in the pic but its is called the same thing. It runs on a mixture of propane and butane, I can find the fuel just about any where its so common that even alot of gas stations carry it
it is really hat and boils water quite fast and a fuel cartridge will last a long time dep on how much you use it.It lights when cold with no prob what so ever. Buy it, it out performs some stoves of greater price.

Summary:
Great stove. Very light easy to use and easy to carry. I use a 10" skillet on it and it does not fall off. I was camping once at like 4 degrees and it did not light but other than that it works everytime. Dicks carries the full so check there. Boils a bit slow compared to other stoves but for 25 bucks you cannot complain. You can get a lantern for it, or at least you used to be able to get one. Have had this thing for at least 4 seasons.

Customer Service:
No problems with it.

Summary:
It was super light and super cheap. I bought one fuel cartridge (212 gram), but soon after Wal-mart stopped selling them. They're almost impossible to find (others brands may fit, I don't know). I ordered a 12 pack of 100 gram fuel cartridges from the company directly, which came to $63. So I am set until it breaks. You might still find it on sale someplace. But check to see if there is fuel available from Coleman first. BTW, it weighs 5.5 oz and the small fuel cans weigh 6 oz., and they will last 2-4 overnight trips.

Customer Service:
They were able to sell me fuel although I couldn't find it anywhere on the shelf.
