Coleman F1 PowerBoost Stove

Coleman stove - fast food on the move

Advantages: Fast, cheap to run, fuel widely available - globally
Disadvantages: haven't found any yet - except not really lightweight

I have used a range of different camping stoves over the years, having been involved in outdoor activities with young people I have had an ongoing debate around the safety/efficiency issues. I have personally used a coleman stove for 15 yrs - the special delight is when you are camping with Trangia fans. I like to set-up the stove and kettle, in the time it takes to boil I can get my tent pitched and then go round with mugs of tea whilst my friends kettles are just getting up to a simmer - smug doesn't even enter into it. So why else am I convinced? You can control the stove from a gentle simmer to a full rolling boil, the fuel - unleaded petrol - is widely available, a tank full is plenty to cook a meal for two, with extra brews as well. The stove has a fairly wide base an is stable in most conditions, it is easy to light and soon ...

Review of Coleman Peak 1 Petrol Camping Stove

The Coleman Peak 1 Petrol Stove

Advantages: Small, portable, high heat (but controllable), reliable
Disadvantages: Price of fuel

I purchased a Coleman Peak 1 camping stove about 12 years ago, when I embarked on an expedition to walk the Penine Way. The stove is lightweight, portable, and best of all - reliable. It gives a good heat, boiling 2 pints of water in less than 5 minutes (try doing that with your standard Calor Gaz stove!). Although the power output is high, it is also very controllable. There is a small lever to adjust the flame, and it can be lowered to a simmer if that is all that you need. Safety has also been taken into consideration such that, even though the stove is fuelled with petrol, it can be tilted, turned, and even inverted without flaring up in your face. The fuel made by Coleman is rather expensive (around 9 pounds for a 1 litre tin), although the newer models can now use standard unleaded fuel of the type you put in your car ...

Review of Coleman Peak 1 Petrol Camping Stove

f1 2006

Advantages: improved from the other one
Disadvantages: 3 years later and there still isnt another

While this game is really good, i cant help thinking how much more they could have done with it. There has only been two games for the psp one in 2005 and then 2006, and thats where it all stopped. There was alittle trouble with the licencing agreements and now they have bene bought by codemasters. New f1 games have been worked on in 2008 and there expected to come put somtime in 2009, 3 years after the previous f1 release on the psp. This game however is still really good even though its quite old. The graphics are great and there are so much more improvements than the 2005 one. There is now the full 3 rounds of qualifying and the ability to tweek your car a little to get the best times and to get you on pole position. Making it harder to win now is also the random events. this means that a car could crash straight in front ...
