The Coleman version of this stove is known for NOT being able to adjust down to a very low flame or even a low flame at all. How is this stove?

I had NO problem adjusting to high or very low flame. I love this portable stove.

This one is fine. You can adjust the flame up and down. This is the best portable stove that I have used. It won't rust and very easy to clean.

The Gas One has a maximum and a minimum on it. I usually keep the dial between the max & min. I hope this helps you. I like the Gas One very much.

Haha, well, if your a guy you try to figure it out until you get angry frustrated and resort to the last straw, read the directions.But, these stoves are really simple and I didn't have to read the directions, put the fuel in the tank, turn the valve lever to the up position, open the round thingy until you hear some hissing and put a match near the burner. After a minute you can turn the lever down and you will get a nice blue flame. Then you will need to pump it a few times while cooking to keep pressure up. You might want to practice a few times b4 you go camping.

I don't think it will lower the flame. When I originally purchased a regulator at a home improvement store, the flame was too low for my burner. I then found out that the ones for grills are much lower pressure (I think they are only a few pounds) so I bought this one from Amazon, which has a higher output pressure. It is adjustable, but I don't know if you could adjust it that low since it has a wide range.

There is no adjustment of the heat. Once you fire it up, it is on. One propane canister lasted me 5 days of morning and evening use.

We use this stove for camping and it works great! WE love it! We did buy a wind screen but it was so short I didn't feel like it did much but I guess anything is better then nothing... I highly recommend the stove though!

I used the small fold down stove that you put on top of a propane tank and it was fine , I hope that helps. I normally use them on a normal Coleman stove, but the work on the small one too.

It is my understanding from my plumber that the small tanks cannot deliver the consistent regulated pressure needed for this stove to burn cleanly and without emissions. We have it hard plumbed to our homes propane system, and we absolutely love it. Get the optional blower, it is well worth the money.

I am not familiar with the Coleman 5 position burner. I have not used this burner yet, other than checking it out functionally and it does have a "range" of flame in low to high position but I cannot comment on the low position relative to other manufacturers.

We used ours with our Coleman single burner, didn't have any problems with the coating coming off at all on our entire trip and must have been used at least 8-10 times. Perhaps we didn't have the heat up as high as the other people? But we did heat all our food through and made coffee (we forgot the kettle!) and heated beans - we certainly didn't want any of the things we heated to be anywhere near 300 degrees though. We also put one of the pans over an actual firepit fire on a cooking grill thing with fold out legs - worked great on that too. All I can say is we're still using ours and it looks fine to me.

We just bought the stove this summer and we did not have an issue with ours. Sorry to hear it did not work for you. It may be a manufacture defect.

This was not my response. I just returned from a weekend trip to Vermont and my Stansport stove worked perfect. I like this stove better than my Coleman.

You can control how much butane it is burning, but not directly the temperature of the tip. I've noticed that even on the lowers setting, it gets quite hot. I like it because it's quick and portable, but if you're looking for a precision instrument, this isn't it.

Steven - This regulator probably does nothing for you. Your Coleman stove should have a built in regulator. I use this regulator to control the propane flow to a burner for a smoker that I built. It works very well for that purpose. If for some reason your Coleman stove does not have burner controls (which is the regulator) you would need something to control the flow of fuel, such as this regulator.

Buy the right fuel cannister: Coleman Butane / Propane Mix Fuel It screws into the 'stove'. Turn the nob and light it with a flame source. Super easy to use, though you need a flat place to put it on. It works for all size pots, though larger ones can be tricky as it's a very small flame area. I've heard that some cheaper pots will actually burn a bit because of the small flame area. It is very small folded down and unfolding it is as easy as an umbrella.

I have two different types of butane gas burners and I find it difficult to get a low enough flame on both of them to properly cook rice, grains, or to simmer soups or stews without all the liquid boiling off. I wanted to know if there were any other portable gas burners that were more sensitive to being set at low temps!
