Coleman F1 Lite Stove

Pros of the Coleman F1 Lite Stove: lightest canister stove you can get your hands on, terrific heat output, inexpensive, great fuel economy, pretty easy to use. good customer support from Coleman.

Con: the darn plastic ring. it melted once after 5 or 10 uses, making it impossible to fold down the pot supports. Coleman was great about replacement. well, the plastic ring melted on the new one after just one or two uses, freezing the pot supports in the open position just like the first time. I wish Coleman would replace that plastic piece with something else. Only good side of this is that it melts in the "open" position, so you can keep cooking, you just can't properly put it away.

very small and light but there is one major downside. If you need to warm/simmer (extended use) the thing over heats and shuts down.

The Coleman F1 Lite is great little burner for the money (seen at £9.99 GBP recently), good for lightweight backpacking or as a backup for a camping trip. I have used in field with no problems. I would buy again if damaged or lost.

This Coleman F1 Lite Stove is small, light and very compact, fits into the palm of your hand when packed in its little bag even if you don't have big hands!

I would look at other makes of ultralight stove- I would not recommend the F1 due to plastic compnents
