Coleman Propane Grill and Stove

Coleman Propane Grill and Stove – Perfect for family campouts.

Family camp outs and car camping offer their set of luxuries when it comes to spending some time outdoors. Because you are usually within walking distance of your car, you can afford to bring more stuff or bigger items than you would if you were backpacking. One nice luxury to have is a larger camp stove. Backpacking stoves are nice for the backcountry, but you need something bigger when camping with the family. The Coleman Propane Grill and Stove is a perfect choice for camping stove.

One nice feature of the Coleman Propane Grill and Stove that will notice right away is that it is part grill and part stove. This is a great advancement from camping stoves of years gone by. This allows you to easily double the amount of things that you can cook while camping. The grill portion of the Coleman Propane Grill and Stove is especially nice since many campgrounds frown upon campfires and thus grilling over them. The grill portion of the Coleman Propane Grill and Stove wroks pretty well and has decent amount of room for several hamburgers or hot dogs.

I used to cook off of one of these every winter when I lived in Alaska. They aren’t bad and can easily handle enough food for one to four people. A nice feature of the Coleman Propane Grill and Stove is that it has a matchless design. This means you can simply turn on the Coleman Propane Grill and Stove like you would turn on your home stove. Not to mention you don’t have to worry about forgetting matches. The Coleman Propane Grill and Stove also allows for dual burner adjustment so you can set the amount of heat for the grill and the stove.
