Title : Coleman EvenTemp 3 Burner Stove a Camp Winner
Detailed Review : My husband and his family were avid campers, but I was new to joining in. We needed to get set up with all the gear for going away, and this was one of the items we purchased, and have never regretted it. Coleman items are certainly quality items. I like this cooker because we can connect it to either canister gas or to a small LPG container depending on how long we are going away for. The griddle, which doesn't come with all models, is fantastic for bacon and eggs, as well as burgers. The only hassle we have had is that you need to boil the kettle and do the toast (if you are using an on the grill toaster) before you cook, or you have to handle a hot griddle and put it on the grass to make tea and toast later on. A 2/3 griddle that leaves a single burner free would have been great! That said, what is good about this slightly larger size of cooker is the ability to fit larger fry pans on it - fresh fish on this is particularly good. The build in silver side pieces can lock onto the green lid and this provides a good wind break if needed. When you're done cooking it folds up and looks neat and tidy. The anodized finish is really durable. I recommend the carry bag for this item (which we have). It lets you keep it nice looking, and has side pockets for the gas cannisters. The griddle fits inside the folded up cooker - which is great. Overall - a very good buy you'll use again and again!
