Our ratings (out of 10)

1 to 10, compared with the whole market. Each says what it's based on. How we score

Weight

From maker's figures 7/10

How much it adds to your pack. 7: Better than most.

Coleman's UK page gives 102 g, and the Millets page gives the same. In the 60-119 g band. The carry pouch is extra.

Packed size

Estimate from maker's specs: stove weight (no packed size published) 7/10

How much room it takes in your rucksack. 7: Better than most.

Estimate from maker's specs

Boil speed (still air)

Estimate from maker's specs: burner power figure (no boil time published) 5/10

How fast the maker says it boils 1 litre in still air. Wind slows every stove: see Wind performance. 5: Does the job. Average for wild-camping gear.

Estimate from maker's specs

Wind performance

Estimate from maker's specs: windshield in the box 3/10

How well it keeps boiling in a breeze, as sold, without an extra windshield. 3: Below average. Fine for some trips, not others.

Estimate from maker's specs

In short

Good for

  • A very cheap, very light top-mount stove for a pocket or a backup kit
  • Summer and sheltered pitches where you boil small pots
  • Walkers who already carry Coleman Xtreme or Performance cartridges

Strengths

  • 102 g with a carry pouch
  • 3,200 W output; Coleman gives 3 min 35 s to boil in still air and about 60 minutes of burn on a C300 cartridge
  • Folding pan supports and a wind block around the burner (Coleman)

Weaknesses

  • No independent review found, so wind and control are estimates, not reviewed scores
  • Coleman's own figures show the boil time more than doubling in a 3 m/s wind (about 11 km/h): 3 min 35 s becomes 8 min
  • No built-in igniter: Coleman lists manual ignition
  • Coleman gives no folded size and no water amount for its boil times
  • Top-mounted on the cartridge, so it loses power in the cold and we do not mark it winter-ready
