COLEMAN XTREME STOVE

Packs small, weighs little - It's a keeper!

Coleman Peak 1 Xtreme backpacking stove

"This easy to use Powermax™ cartridge stove gives reliably consistent performance in cold temperatures and high altitudes. Heat regulator allows for use in sub-freezing temperatures by keeping heat output constant, even when fuel canister is running low. Sure-footed, ultra-light magnesium legs fold together for compact storage. Pot supports curve to keep small pots centered over burner for efficient heating. Aluminum fuel canister can be recycled when empty--just puncture with included Green Key™ and flatten for recycling."

This stove has all the things you want from a compressed-fuel stove, plus performance that's better than liquid-fuel stoves, and light weight.

Operation: Take stove out of storage-bag, attach fuel canister by pushing into fitting and giving a quarter-turn to lock into place.

Pros:

Boils enough water for two meals in under five  minutes

Very adjustable flame

NO PUMP which means no pumping and no associated pump problems

Lightweight in comparison to many "backpacking" stoves

Small enough to fit inside many pot and pan sets

Works very well at both high altitudes and in cold weather

The fuel source is an aluminum Powermax™ cartridge fuel canister, sold separately, that can be recycled when empty
