spent 14 days with the eventemp instastart 3-burner

Coleman EvenTemp InstaStart 3-Burner Stove

Coleman EvenTemp InstaStart 3-Burner Stove

Rating for this product: 4 April 26, 2009

We bought this stove for 2 reasons:
1) The distance between the burners can accomodate two 12" cast iron frying pans;
2) It is the most compact and lightweight stove that can satisfy condition 1 above.

It seems flimsy, but with 14 consecutive days of use (in the desert and Sierras/Inyos) it is holding up and doing just fine.

carefully pack a towel/cloth inside to stop vibrations while driving.

We use a refillable 1 gallon (5 lbs) bottle or refilled 1lbs bottles (so as to avoid dispossing of 1lbs bottles). The 5lbs. -1 gallon, bottle lasted the entire 14days and was not half empty at the end (this doing two hot meals a day - frequently using both burners (when it does not significantly effect the quality of the cooking, we tend to use a pressure cooker to reduce the amount of cooking time and heating required).

The burners are significantly more powerful than on our old white gas coleman.

The instant start, at first seems flimsy too, but once accustomed to the light touch is a very nice convenience.

the burner control knobs are less than ideal - a more substantial feel and greater turning range would be better. But again once you get the feel of it - the control is pretty good - though not up to anything like a Wolf range :-)

On my particular stove, I had to modify the location of the gas fitting/connection by about 1/4" - to bring it flush to the outside casing of the stove, so that it would not be a hassle to connect the stove to the gas bottle fitting.

We are pleased with this purchase - it served very well...
