Coleman F1 Lite

I've had one for a few years and it's still going strong. I can't understand the comments about the pan supports being flimsy. Yes, it is a lightweight stove and the pan supports will bend slightly if the stove is dropped on a hard surface - so probably best not to do that. In normal use I have never had a problem with the pan supports. They are pretty wide so fairly stable - an MSR Titan kettle fits perfectly. Like all canister stoves, the design is inherently unstable, especially if you use small cartridges, but a set of plastic stove legs improves things hugely for almost no extra weight. The stove packs down to about the size of a box of matches yet will boil a full pot of food or water using only c6g of gas. I don't understand chuckles' comment about it being difficult to clean. Gas burns very cleanly, leaving no residue whatsoever. The stove should not need cleaning unless you're dropping your dinner on it. It can be had for less than £20 these days but even at £25 it is extremely good value. Highly recommended.

I have had one for just over a year and it has done me well. It is a ideal size to pack down and easy enough to fix together. It can take any size pot on in and easy to light. Only down sides to it are it is difficult to clean, and there is nothing built on to the stove for wind shield apart from that it is worth the £25 that I spent on it.
