Is there a functional difference between this stove and the other "Coleman PerfectFlow InstaStart 2-Burner Stove" that retails for $100?

Having never seen the $100 stove in person. It looks like the main functional difference is the knobs to control the flame. By looking at them it is possible that they only turn a rotation or so, Whereas the One i Have can turn many times over. The only downfall is that sometimes can be hard to dial the flame way down low.

The fuel is so inexpensive to buy locally, it's cheaper to buy it separately than pay the cost to ship the fuel, even as part of a deal (due to the volatility of the fuel). You can use any brand fuel. It does not have to be the same brand as the stove. Finally, you will have to regularly buy more fuel anyway, so a package deal would not be a long term benefit, like if you were buying two long-durability items.

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.

John,I found a replacement burner at Camping World. When I looked at the cost of replacement parts, I decided to buy a new grill instead.Bill

My understanding is that the newer PIC may be referred to on Amazon as PIC 2. The Nuwave website only sells the newest version but you may still occasionally find the older models offering fewer features on Amazon and other websites. I have had mine for around D five months and have used it every day. I have only used my stove top one time since my PIC arrived. I love it. I have read a few bad reviews but my niece had one and loved it so I decided to try it. The shipping is outrageous but getting the two PIC's along with the cook set ran just over $120 (If I remember correctly) and I feel it was a worthy purchase. Hope this helps.

Cannot answer about any comparison, but I like this fan. I bought it mostly for my tent but indoor plug-in use is a bonus and that was part of my purchase decision. I don't remember what I paid....almost 2 yrs. ago.

No, this is the version without the starting "gadget" that tends to fail. In my opinion this is the better model as you save $50 for a gadget that tends to fail. There are plenty of other options on the market that assist in starting charcoal that you can get for far less than $50 to go along with this grill.

From looking at the specs the only difference I can see is the "portable" unit has a couple new custom heat settings and an upper power level of 1800 watts vs. the "counter top" units 1600 watt rating. I have the counter top unit and it does everything I want. You could probably mimic the extra heat settings on the portable by playing with the heat level and timer settings. I don't believe those small differences in the portable are worth the extra 50% in price over the counter top unit.

Hi Matthew David. We totally LOVE our propane stove and the blower we bought with it is perfect. I do not know if it is the same one. We went through Amazin and were routed to Northern ???? They sold this stove, a perfect little platform, & blower. Blower & platform were sold as accessories for this particular (perfect) stove. I hope this helps. It's been about 2years since we ordered so memory is faded re name & model number. BTW, the photo LOOKS right.

I contacted the Parent Company, Empire Comfort and the larger Burner is not available anymore. You can find some old stock around, but the company has decided to manufacture the part in the USA. The Smaller Burner has the same BTU's. I'm not sure if everyone is aware but Broilmaster Burners have a Life time Warranty. You only pay for Shipping $20. I'm getting about 3 years before they rust out.

This one comes with the propane burner. The stove (including the racks) and the carrying bag.The other one does not have the propane attachment.BTW the quality must have dropped for the prices to have dropped like this too.

The guality was very surprising for the price. I have another gasone stove as well and it also works great

The solo stove is not as compact. I like this one because it slips into the back of my pack and is not a space hog.

Def not, however when I was on the islands of Philippines I seen kerosine stoves that looked similar to the Coleman stoves. They must be available somewhere here in the states. Although I assume they wud be inefficient and smokey.

The canister sold here on Amazon are fine, I would think any brand would be about the same, I hunted for the best price. The canisters are larger than the ones you find for refilling a lighter, and with shipping cost, around 2.00 - 4.00 each. Each canister lasts threw several days. I used mine mailing to heat water and make small meals for one during two week long power outages last fall, and am on my second canister. Butane is hotter than propane, takes a lot less time to boil water, and watch your food close! It will burn quickly! These stoves are great for emergencies, or camping.

YES! I was unsure based on reviews but I purchased Coleman Triton Series InstaStart 2-Burner Stove and this bag and it fits great. The bag is a thick heavy pleather feel material. I thought it was going to be ripstop nylon. Great purchase.
