Coghlan's Emergency Camp Stove Multi, One Size

What I love about this stove is the fact that it is so cheap and it can be used with various "fuels." Do note that the fuel tabs included do have a little bit of an odor and will leave some soot on the underside of what you cook in. That said, I was able to get 1.5 cups of water to a boil in under 5 minutes using my MSR aluminum cooking pot with 3 fuel tabs, and there was fuel left over. I was able to heat up water using their "fire sticks", although there was some soot left behind on the underside of my pot from doing that. That's the fuel being used in the photo.For $10, this is worth keeping in your car or a closet in the event of an emergency if you need to boil water or heat food or want a cheap entry-level stove for getting into camping.

A decent quality for the price and availability. Small compact and easy to carry as well as easy to setup.

After being hit by Helene and Milton I want a few ways to cook. Flimsy but light. It's worth the money and priceless if the power goes out. It comes with the candles

One should know that the included burner tabs are limited in their use I boiled about a cup of water using three of them it did bring it to a rowing boil before they ended it is best to use additional pot fans to enhance the performance however what I did find is that if one uses an altoids-based alcohol stove inside the stove itself it will boil water and also act as a windscreen fantastic application. If one is looking for means to create set of alcohol stove The YouTube channel waypoint survival has excellent videos and examples of how to make an alcohol stove. Bruce may have a different opinion I think for $6 this was an absolute steal

This little stove is cool! When I took it out of the package, I noticed it was more substantial and sturdy than I thought it might be. Looks like it will last, and doesn't seem flimsy at all. I tried it out, using the included fuel tabs, and it worked fine. Easily adjustable for smaller or larger pots/pans. Nice that you can use alternative fuels with it too. Good thing to have on hand in these uncertain times. No matter what happens, you'll be able to heat your food, and it's small enough to store almost anywhere. Good buy!

A couple of years ago we had a really bad winter storm that knocked power out for almost a week. Temperatures were below freezing the whole time and it was cold in the house. This would have really come in handy for cooking. We had a fireplace but no set up to cook over the fire. This could be set up on the fireplace slab for cooking stuff like canned food and ramen noodles. Good for camping as well.

The media could not be loaded. We tried to use it as directed to heat water in a kettle...pot did not sit even, was shaky.. not good for sturdiness/safety.. No easy way to keep adding fuel source, as flame does not last long with white fuel source offered with item..just have to keep lifting pot off of the "stove"..We attempted to add little wood sticks to make fire warmer/higher/last longer..this did work better..but no catch for ashes, so we made sure to put foil under it first, to have a safe burning area..but still had to keep lifting pot off to add fuel sourcePROSWhite fuel bits are great fire startersWorks ok for little campfire modeGood for a pinch if you have nothing elseCONSNot very durable or steady with a pan/pot on itCant use other fuel sources with it, like gel fuel or bio fuel, flame goes out,so left using sources that leave a mess below the cooker, with no "catcher" for debris (so we used aluminum foil to catch burn offNo easy access, while cooking ,to add more fuel source to keep fire goingNot bad-but not greatDoable if you have nothing else, or want to cook marshmallows or hot dogs, or anything on a stick, but not my first go-to choice for a hiking/camping stove.

Only got pictures before use, but these come with a ton of fuel- 24 circular candle shaped ones. After lighting these it burns great and without smoke! Very easy to ignite and keep burning. Would reccomend for any outing needing a temp stove or ER stove.
