Coghlan’s Portable Folding Camp Stove – Compact, Lightweight Steel Cooking Stove for Camping, Backpacking, Hiking, or Emergency Use – Uses Canned Heat or Fuel Tablets, Black

This thing falls flat and is very stable when assembled – it's design fits canned heat and mini alcohol stoves perfectly. All four sides provide and effective windscreen while allowing enough air to enter to promote a very hot flame. I have not used it for actual camping, but have tested it at home and it is a very nice unit– it doesn't weigh a lot and folds flat for easy storage in a backpack or a to go bag – the latter is my intended purpose since I don't camp anymore. I bought two of the units for two bug out bags – because, we could get separated and we'll both need to have something to cook on or provide heat for warming hands. I think my purchase was a good one and would recommend this item for those who are not concerned with having the absolute lightest thing on the market.

Great little camping stove and works great. Like it.

Id give it 4 stars because of the price and sturdiness of the product. It wasnt hard to assemble but it took some bending of the tabs to get the tray to snug in. Does not keep the wind from blowing the heat away from your pot/pan though. I had a small breeze and it took forever to cook rice. Sterno isnt really the best for quick cooking anyway. Stove folds almost flat. Would i buy another? No. Id rather use a small isobutane stove. But for sterno lovers, its a good purchase.

I use these with home made large candle I make in a tuna can works great..

Coughlan stove folding burner- folds flat to store, compact, easy to use. Works as elevated burner to use with canned fuel. Great to have in case of power outage to cook or heat food. Would recommend.

I bought this for my disaster preparedness kit. l love that it is sturdy and quite versatile. In a pinch, you could use things other than sterno to cook with this. I used my Trangia alcohol stove as a proof of concept. One could use sticks in it, if one needed. This is the really important part. Coffee. You see, I cannot exist without coffee. Well, actually that is not true. --> I <-- can exist without coffee, but anyone who has to be around me does not want to live through that. So, I must have coffee. In a power outage, when my house is all electric, this is a problem. I have a Coleman propane stove, a propane single burner unit, and a propane grill. However, in an extended outage, one can burn up a good deal of propane, and those stupid little canisters are not cheap. I could use a larger propane tank, with some adaptation, but that is inconvenient, and the propane still is not that cheap. I decided that the most cost effective way to go, since I don't have a fireplace, was to use an alcohol stove. That led to me buying a Trangia stove kit. I LOVE that thing. But there is one problem. Yes. The coffee. The way the Trangia kit is designed, I can't just throw a percolator on it. So I either have to use a backpacking stove, make French Press coffee by boiling water in my JetBoil or other gas-powered arrangement (defeating cheap alcohol burner approach), etc., or I need something that will support my percolator. This is the kind of thing engineers sit around and think about when the power is out for extended periods, in case you wondered. Enter the Coghlan's Folding Stove. I can throw my alcohol burner inside and my percolator on top. Tah dah! Coffee. If a mountain blows up or we have the Big One (eathquake), and I am stuck for days, I can even use sticks when the mineral spirits, Heet, and any other burnable fuels are all gone. I can have coffee, even during Armageddon. I suppose I could even cook food with this, if I had to. ;) Great for throwing in the car for emergency kit on road trips, camping, and just because it is a fun little stove. In fact, I think I am going to buy a second one so that I can leave it in my car. C'mon, have you never watched Survivorman??? I considered buying the Sterno brand folding stove, but after reading reviews and looking at this one in stores, the quality of this stove sold me on it. I am very happy with it. It's a great addition to my disaster preparedness kit and is just handy to boot. Glad I bought it.

Sturdy, stable little cook top. Great size for small cookware. Light weight. Folds down to 1" or less flat.

I used a bonfire candle inside which fit great and cooked up a tiny dinner well. Easy to assemble and pack up. It’s light and doesn’t take much space. Great for backpacking when needing a light meal. Used with cast-iron and light camping pots. It worked great on both. For the price and function, I’m glad I didn’t hesitate on buying.
