Coleman Exponent Xpedition Stove - 2-Burner

Coleman Powermax Fuel HAS NOT BEEN DISCONTINUED. However they have added an adapter which allows any of the stoves to work with any canister fuel... you don't have to use Powermax. Nothing wrong with Powermax, and Powermax canisters work better than any other, especially when cold. But if it isn't real cold or if you are in a backcountry store that doesn't carry their fuel, well they answered the only complaint anybody could have about these stoves! I have the 2 burner, and for larger parties, (4-6) you can have coffee going & breakfast! It's stable, VERY adjustable. Pots balance on the semi round, not flat surface, even if the stove isn't perfectly level. For very large parties, like 8 or 12, take a conventional Coleman... With very large pots ( going across both burners on high) this will use a canister per meal at that many people. Not what it is meant for. 1 large Powermax canister ran my 2 burner exponent stove & little Exponent lantern on a 4 day canoe trip with 6 people, approx 6 meals.

Great Stove. Use it in the Himalayas. Works well in extreme cold weather. Good for larger parties of 4+ more. Only downside is that Powermax fuel is hard to come by and you need an adapter for this stove, which is cheap. Overall this stove is great.

I use these stoves when there are more than 3 people on our outings. It is great to cook on one burner and boil water on the other. Sometimes finding the coleman powermax fuel is difficult but a couple of stops and you usually find it.

I've used this for week long canoe camping trips, cooking for me and my sons. Crank through fried eggs and bagels while water is heating on the other burner. Very high heat output at max setting. Burner knobs are pretty touchy - but no problem once you get the touch. Probably a little bit big for backpacking.

You must use a adaptor for fuel in todays world, the first adaptor I bought leeked, returned it...I got a second one and it leaked! I'm talking guizer! I tore it all apart, and had to machine a deal to clamp it all togeather to seal it back up. Its a great stove if you are good at machining. I might try adapting it to try burning standard fuel.
