Coleman Classic Propane

This item opens our list of the best camping stoves. For many years, hikers have relied on Coleman stoves due to their simplicity and dependability. And now, the brand has released the Coleman Classic Propane, which is their entry-level camping stove that is on sale for less than $50. In comparison to the more costly Coleman Triton (which also appears on this list), the Coleman Classic Propane is clearly the less expensive alternative. Bear in mind, though, that this item is neither sturdy nor durable (which is understandable, given the price tag).

Our test of its cooking performance confirms our first impressions. The Classic is marginally less powerful than the Triton and suffers from inconsistent flame performance over the spectrum - despite the PerfectFlow label. But do not worry though; at roughly $50, it is still a sufficient burner for any recreational outdoor activities, easily serving up to 10 people. Also, while it lacks the dexterity of a high-end device, this stove is more than capable of boiling hot water, frying steaks, and grilling vegetables.
