Coleman All-in-One Cooking System:First, let me say that I am a big fan of Coleman products which have nicely served my large family of outdoorsmen for 4 generations at a good, fare price point. We have owned everything from Coleman lanterns to Coleman Pop-up campers.With that in mind, I have to say that this little stove sits only somewhere in the middle of the bell curve.First the good points. The stove is light and highly portable, a plus for me when I camp alone, which is fairly often. You get a stove, grill and griddle all in one in a very compact space. Cleanup is very simple with the porcelain coated surfaces. Propane use is very efficient and you really will get about 3 1/2 to 4 hours on a bottle.The downside is having a single 5000 BTU burner, which makes the All-In-One a slow little cooker. Forget about boiling any significant amount of water. It can take up to an hour to perk a pot of coffee, and that is during hot weather. It does bacon very nicely, but also takes quite a while. Have to say that the high setting, (likely the only one you will use) fries eggs perfectly, and toast does wonderfully on the grill. Great for hot dogs, slow and messy for burgers. Griddle does do nicely for Bisquick pancakes. Keep in mind when you buy that all cooking will be much slower than on the standard Coleman, two burner propane stove, which has been a standard in our extended family forever. You pay a price in cook time for the portability and multiple features. I would like to see them amp this baby up a bit, maybe to 7000 BTUs, even at the cost of burn time per propane bottle. Still, I would buy again, at least for my solo trips, and most of us are not in too much of a hurry while camping anyway. I give it a solid 3 stars, and would give 3 1/2, if it were possible.
