I bought one of those Grill to Go‘s

They suck hard!

After the first summer the paint from it started peeling off of it and getting into my burgers.

So i bought a Coleman type BBQ, awsome!

Thats my 2 cents CDN!

If your camping out of the back of your truck or car, then the little MEC things are inadequate. Invest in one of the propane coleman stoves and you can get the grills that go over the burners for pancakes, or eggs while your toast is browning on the other burner.

Blue flame on the first try always.....and no fuel spills.

Blue flame, I salute you

my crews and I have used various coleman products in remote camps(we do Geological surveys etc) helicopter camps in the mountains Van Isl, Stewart etc, they work well but you need a supply of replacement parts, generators and pump parts, they will burn normal auto gas, but I don‘t recomend it. Coleman sells a small space heater that operates off of a small cylinder Which if I‘m not mistaken produces something like 75,00 BTU at full bore, not for long but very hot.

Coleman also makes a rather nice oven component that goes with the stove... it‘s basically just a metal box that sits on top of the burner, but surprisingly effective at baking things such as chicken/roasts/even cakes.

I sure remember those green stoves and lanterns! What about the little ‘lunar module‘ thing the M1950. That was a shocker of a thing!

Sure remember all that winter trg, etc, and i don‘t miss it, however winter in Australia can be well below -8C in some areas ( around the mountains near Canberra for example), and get this, winter kit is a pair of wool gloves, a jumper, and a plastic rain jacket called a japara. All useless! One has to modify his winter kit with private purchase stuff (in AUSCAM of course).

So needless to say, I have been more cold here, than I ever was in Canada in the winter.

Propane is the main fuel for cookers, and we don‘t use lanterns. I have not seen one since I left Canada.

Welcome to the board, btw.

I live in Arizona now. They say your blood "thins" if you live here long enough. I‘m not sure what the real phenomenon is, but I find the same thing - I get cold very easily here - and am cold far more often, than I ever was, in Canada. Go figure..

I love Coleman stoves that just erupt into a giant fireballs.

Not very tactical.

There is nothing funnier than being in your hide at o dark 30 on picket and seein a flaming coleman stove doing mach 5 out of someones tent. Ahh winter indoc. Candle to burn excess fuel from the air? Thats a new one gotta try that. I can‘t say I like the naptha buzz.
