My Coleman Sportster II Dual Fuel Stove Review

The Coleman Sportster II Dual Fuel Stove

This stove will cook all your outdoor meals. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, in any weather, on your camping, canoeing, fishing, hunting, and all other outdoor adventures.

I bring this stove with me gold panning. It is lightweight and tough enough to follow me up and down the riverbeds.

This is the Coleman® Guide Series® Compact Dual Fuel™ Stove. The cooking surface fits a 6-in. pan above a Band-a-Blu™ burner that delivers 10,000 BTU’s of cooking power.

Dual Fuel™ Technology gives you the option of using Coleman® Liquid Fuel or unleaded gasoline.

Now you can take less fuel with you to save money and packing space. Wind baffles help shield your flame from the wind so that the most heat possible goes into making your meal.

This Coleman is a single burner model, easier to carry around and just as powerful.

My Personal experience with this Stove

By the early 1970’s, I was already a young, experienced camper, fisherman and outdoors enthusiast.

In those early days, I had only two concerns, playing and eating, in the great outdoors. This was my first contact with the Coleman Stove. We cooked and ate countless meals on this stove.

I can still fondly remember to this day, the countless number of times we used Coleman stoves to cook Lobsters on our boat, Clams on the beach, and Hotdogs and burgers when we got tired of seafood.

I often wish that I had such easy access to this seafood today.

One day when I was much older, I asked my father why he always brought that green Coleman Stove with us.

His reply was swift and short!

It’s Tough, Durable, and Reliable.

These are the exact same qualities that I have seen in the Coleman products that I own and use to this very day.

Final Thoughts

I do not own this exact model of stove, however, the model I own and use is quite similar. It has served me without fail for years. I have no hesitation in recommending this stove to anyone looking for a powerful, easy to light, easy to use, 1-burner stove for all your Camping, Canoeing, Kayaking, Hunting, Fishing, and other outdoor adventures.

It is a bit too heavy and bulky for Backpacking, however, is an excellent stove for any outdoor situation where you do not have to carry it too far.

There are much lighter stoves than this one, for backpacking, but they are perhaps not as tough!

No worries about running out of fuel. You can always use the fuel from your vehicle. What a comforting thought, when you are in Nature. No need to return early from your trip, because you are low on fuel, or out of fuel completely.

There are many different stoves on the market today, in this size range. However, for the cost, easy to use and durability, it beats most of them, hands down!

I have used many types of stoves over the years and The Coleman Stove line are a very popular and reliable brand.
