I purchased a Coleman Peak 1camping 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.
Summary: If you are looking good quality, high heat output, and reliability then this is a must-have item in your camping kit bag!

Good review, I use many different types of stove (Classic stove collector) and with the petrol type I use lighter fluid instead of Coleman fuel, and this works out at about half the price of Coleman fuel.
