Coleman Signature 2000020105 Ppn 2-Brnr Fyrechamp Stove, Steel

Others say there’s no heat/flame control and that’s not true. Even when it is true, there is literally one screw holding the control knob in place and you remove it, wipe off the excess packing grease that is standard on all metal equipment shipped from overseas (to protect from premature corrosion). Mine had fine control out of the box, but I cleaned the jets anyway because I want to make sure I get top performance out of my equipment. I disassemble and reassemble every mechanical thing I buy, but that’s just me.

Looked nice, good quality, as would be expected by a Coleman product. Bought as a Christmas gift for my son and his wife. Won’t be able to give personal evaluation.

I had bought this in 2017 and only used 3 times. I used it to make coffee at a flea market when I set up; so, I only used one burner. When I went camping this weekend, only one burner was working and there was NO GAS coming out of the other. I also looked the stove over and found out that it was probably a "bring back" from Walmart because I could see where someone had taken it apart and bent the aluminum. Anyway, I took off the burner and blew it out. That didn't faze it, but I found out that there was only a very minute amount of gas coming out of the line on that side. So, it's either something in the line coming from the other burner or it's the regulator. Next, the good burner will not adjust to where you actually need it. I tried to just simmer my pot of coffee but it kept going out because you couldn't turn it really low. If I had it to do over; I would have never bought it but Coleman is supposed to be a good product. Hmmmm? If somebody knows how to tell me to fix it, please let me know.

Problems started the second time I used it. One burner worked fine, the other would only do 1/4 heat. Regulator would freeze up on cold mornings or at altitude 5k. Last straw this weekend with all the earlier problems present, got the coffee made and turned everything off but there was still a major hotspot near where the propane enters - so there was a small fire INSIDE the unit that could only be put out by disconnecting the propane bottle!It’s out of warranty but I have lost all faith in Coleman. If this top line product is this much trouble I’m going for another brand.

While the flames really put out some BTUs, and the flame is very protected from wind, the knobs to turn on the gas are really cheap and were badly designed. Second time using it, the nut that holds the gas knob/valve in place loosened up. Turning the knob on and off put torque on the thin copper tubing that provides propane to the burner through the valve. Well, let just say the tubing cracked when we turned it with the other burner going. Propane leaked out in the cavity under the burners and eventually migrated over to the open flame of the other burner. It was quite an explosion and blew the pot of water we were boiling off the burner. Very unsafe design.

This seems like a good design and is very compact. The heat output is very high - too high. The knobs have no effect on the flames so it is either on or off. Sane for both burners. I used a FLIR camera and with the plates on I got 536F when the knob was turned as low as possible (without turning off) or full on. Can’t cook without control over the heat.

the gas valve is not smooth and it's hard to start without blow flame to your face. A few time camping and now the control knobs is strip and I can't any parts for repair.
