Coghlan's Portable Folding Camp Stove – Compact, Lightweight Steel Cooking Stove for Camping, Backpacking, Hiking, or Emergency Use – Uses Canned Heat or Fuel Tablets, Black

I give it five even though I have t used it yet. It looks flimsy but it's not at all. It's heavy duty in my opinion. I will re-review when I use it. It's perfect it doesn't take a lot of space. This is part of my hurricane kit.

This thing falls flat and is very stable when assembled – it's design fits canned heat and mini alcohol stoves perfectly. All four sides provide and effective windscreen while allowing enough air to enter to promote a very hot flame. I have not used it for actual camping, but have tested it at home and it is a very nice unit– it doesn't weigh a lot and folds flat for easy storage in a backpack or a to go bag – the latter is my intended purpose since I don't camp anymore. I bought two of the units for two bug out bags – because, we could get separated and we'll both need to have something to cook on or provide heat for warming hands. I think my purchase was a good one and would recommend this item for those who are not concerned with having the absolute lightest thing on the market.

Kind of sabby but it will work. You don't want to step on it if you don't step on it. It's going to work forever. Great product

I love it, simple and easy, and toddler sturdy lol.

Folds flat, stores easily. When unfolded (no instructions but I found it easy to figure out) it was stable and held a small pot of water well. Tried it with Sterno canned heat and my Esbit alcohol stove - both worked very well.

I'm really glad I got one of these. We go camping with a fairly large group of friends once or twice a year, and I always do my cooking over the fire. On one particularly rainy morning, that left us at the mercy of friends with camp stoves. I realized the value in a stove then, but I was just frustrated with the idea of YET ANOTHER PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. So I started researching for my smallest option before the next camping trip and decided this was so affordable that it was worth a try. It's EXACTLY what I needed. While there's no way I'm going to be cooking up a big pot of chili on this thing, I've boiled water for oatmeal, percolated coffee, and fried up sausages in my little aluminum pan. In fact, this thing is perfectly sized for those little backpacker's mess kits. Just remember that this isn't a big flame, so you wouldn't cook large quantities of of food or water over it. Someone commented that it folds up on itself too easily. I've not had that problem. You should probably avoid bumping it much, but normal use has yet to cause it to collapse. It's fairly stable as long as it's on a flat surface. It does, however, fold up quite nicely. Gel fuel cans are also pretty compact, but read the label to find out how many burning hours you should be able to get out of it. Some brands last longer than others.

I bought this for my disaster preparedness kit. l love that it is sturdy and quite versatile. In a pinch, you could use things other than sterno to cook with this. I used my Trangia alcohol stove as a proof of concept. One could use sticks in it, if one needed. This is the really important part. Coffee. You see, I cannot exist without coffee. Well, actually that is not true. --> I <-- can exist without coffee, but anyone who has to be around me does not want to live through that. So, I must have coffee. In a power outage, when my house is all electric, this is a problem. I have a Coleman propane stove, a propane single burner unit, and a propane grill. However, in an extended outage, one can burn up a good deal of propane, and those stupid little canisters are not cheap. I could use a larger propane tank, with some adaptation, but that is inconvenient, and the propane still is not that cheap. I decided that the most cost effective way to go, since I don't have a fireplace, was to use an alcohol stove. That led to me buying a Trangia stove kit. I LOVE that thing. But there is one problem. Yes. The coffee. The way the Trangia kit is designed, I can't just throw a percolator on it. So I either have to use a backpacking stove, make French Press coffee by boiling water in my JetBoil or other gas-powered arrangement (defeating cheap alcohol burner approach), etc., or I need something that will support my percolator. This is the kind of thing engineers sit around and think about when the power is out for extended periods, in case you wondered. Enter the Coghlan's Folding Stove. I can throw my alcohol burner inside and my percolator on top. Tah dah! Coffee. If a mountain blows up or we have the Big One (eathquake), and I am stuck for days, I can even use sticks when the mineral spirits, Heet, and any other burnable fuels are all gone. I can have coffee, even during Armageddon. I suppose I could even cook food with this, if I had to. ;) Great for throwing in the car for emergency kit on road trips, camping, and just because it is a fun little stove. In fact, I think I am going to buy a second one so that I can leave it in my car. C'mon, have you never watched Survivorman??? I considered buying the Sterno brand folding stove, but after reading reviews and looking at this one in stores, the quality of this stove sold me on it. I am very happy with it. It's a great addition to my disaster preparedness kit and is just handy to boot. Glad I bought it.

This is a simple contraption and it works well enough. In a pinch, without other options, it will heat water, and probably cook what you need. Make sure you have time, though. The product itself seems sturdy enough and built well enough. I gave it three stars for what it does, or doesn't do. I used a small pot with a quart of water in it. I used a new fuel container. I gave up on boiling water after 45 minutes. This is okay, but really only a decent back-up to your back-up for cooking. I suppose it could be a primary device if you're packing small, but there are better and smaller products available. It's more about the fuel than this product though. It did what it was designed to do. It supported a cooking pot well and it holds the cooking fuel.

Sehr guter Notkocher. Im ersten Moment etwas klapprig aber richtig aufgestellt sehr gut für Spiritus oder Brennpaste Einsatz. Sehr platzsparend

Fuerte y pequeña, se quedará para una urgencia por apagón. Con un mechero de alcohol tienes una cocina de emergencia o camping funcional.

No good

non funziona solo col combustibile Camp Heat per cui è stato studiato ma anche con i fornelletti a spirito, occupa poco spazio molto stabile e vi si puo mettere una padella da 22/24 cm di diametro consigliato

Its a stove top to settle pots and pans I use gas and a Metho burner that you can adjust only no napalm. This is the best one verry happy with this old model. Gas you need a mini burner fold in the legs and line for external gas it will work. Cheers.
