Anyone ever use the single burner Coleman stove of the 500 series?  Looks like a lantern base with a grating on it.  I am considering one to take on 3 day ATV outings.  Not sure about them, though.  Might just use my two burner Coleman, as it is light, and takes one pound canisters. Anyone have one?  Use them?  Like them?  Hate them?  Got one for sale? You can answer here or e mail me. Steve — Illigitimi Non Carborundum

Yes. I have had two of them, bought before the days of the smaller one burner backpacking stoves similar to those Coleman currently sells. I had two of them because the first one got used so much, backpacking, that it finally wore out. The second one is still in good shape but hasn’t been used much, recently, since the newer model single burner Coleman backpacking stove which I bought as a replacement for the second 500 series one is smaller, lighter, and puts out at least as much heat as the old one. > Looks like a lantern base with a grating on it.  I am considering one to > take on 3 day ATV outings.  Not sure about them, though.  Might just use > my two burner Coleman, as it is light, and takes one pound canisters.

White gasoline (Coleman fuel) is the way to go, not propane or butane. It’s fast and cheap. > Anyone have one?  Use them?  Like them?  Hate them?

I liked them very much, but I like the newer model better. > Got one for sale?

Definitely not. See above. When weight is not a concern, it’s still a very nice stove and since one can no longer buy them new, I’m keeping the one that still works. (I’ve slowly cannibalized the first one I owned, for parts.) If you can find a used one in good condition, snap it up and take good care of it.
