4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Sterno camp stove, April 28, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Coghlan's Folding Stove (Sports)
Coghlan's folding stove is a nice stove for camping with Sterno type burners or for an emergency kit.

I also own a Sterno brand camping stove, so I'll do a quick comparison:

The stoves are the same size - about 7" square by about a half inch when folded. This one's design is clearly based on the Sterno one as it has a similar opening which the Sterno stove uses both to leave room for the burner and also to brace the burner. The Coghlan version doesn't brace the burner at all, but it does have a shallow circular indention in the base to allow the burner to sit relatively securely (by which I mean that the burner won't slip unless you move the stove).

The Coghlan stove is made of stamped metal - it feels like tin or aluminium. Sterno's is also tin or aluminium but Sterno's is bent, not stamped. This means that the Sterno stove has lots of sharp edges - not good. This one is all rounded corners - this makes it less likely to get bent out of shape and also... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for kids, November 14, 2008
This review is from: Coghlan's Folding Stove (Sports)
This stove is made to fold flat, and that's what it does best. The 'hook' to keep it upright is shallow and unseats itself with just a puff of breeze, plus the hinges are very loose. Ours collapsed while we were cooking a small pan of soup. Someone lightly bumped the picnic table and the stove promptly folded, sending soup all over the tabletop. In my opinion it isn't stable enough to be used by kids and precarious to use even by adults.

Having said that, if you taped the hinges in place and didn't worry about refolding it, it is handy. It's bigger than the Esbit and could handle larger, heavier pots. We used Esbit fuel in it and Sterno could be used as well. It would also work for warming or a fondue pot, but again, I would recommend stabilizing it in some way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little stove, December 13, 2008
By 
Easy setup in seconds. A great little stove that folds up to less than 1/2" thick. Using Coghlan's camp heat as fuel, and an aluminum pot I brought to a strong simmer 16 oz. of water hot enough for tea, or freeze dried pouches in 12 min. The outdoor temperature was 52 degrees, and about 5 mph winds. The 4 oz camp heat will last up to 4 hours. This is a well made, sturdy product that delivers. A must for backpackers/campers who want to travel light. A good survival stove too.
