My buddy has a Century stove that I like a lot. trouble is it is very hard to find here locally and I do not want to buy on line... I been checking out the Coleman and I will go with one from them if they are as good as the next brand. Looking for something in the $60- but less than $100.00

What do some of you have and why did you choose that brand and model..

I'll be ok with the depth it has to be less than 22" in length.
Thanks .

Greg I'm looking at a small propane double folding stove HERE is the LINK to a list of some stoves;. I know it is the Coleman site and the prices are a little high for what you can find a Wally World or other stores.

I have one of the folding Coleman stoves, the Fold 'n Go. The nice thing about it is that the burners are far apart, so two larger pans will fit side-by-side.

Thanks for posing Miriam. Your post brings another question to mind . How well will propane stoves regulate at 4000 feet and higher. That's where I plan to do most my camping when camping alone . Not a problem one with my white gas Coleman at those elevations. Should I be concerned....
Greg

At hight altitudes and in freezing weather, white gas will work best, followed by propane, and then butane.

I don't like white gas stoves, but they do have an advantage for certain situations.

And high altitudes where I'll be. But I don't think I'll be out when freezing,unless the bird hunting is good.

I looked at the fold an Go. Very nice stove. But with camping at such high altitudes I need something with wind breakers. I didn't see them on the fold an go... The other hing I have max 23" to work with. I know that you can fold it but too cook on it needs to be open.
Thanks for all the replies.
Greg.

Thanks CD.
I was wondered about the Folding stove I linked to.
For the higher altitude I have a "SIGG Multi-Fuel" single burner stove ( also several "White Gas / propane stoves - Coleman-Montgomery Ward - Century - Ozark Trail..... ).

You can tell what I do too much of or think about.

We've given up on stoves ... we now use solar cookers for most everything... www.solarcooking.org ...How green is that ???
