Coleman Peak 1 Petrol Camping Stove > Reviews

Advantages: Great in extreme weather
Disadvantages: Can be fiddly

...is a review about the Coleman Peak One Stove. Why use this instead of other cooking stoves? Well it boils water faster than any other stove I have ever used, see more about that further in the review.

When it comes to high altitudes (high up hills or even mountains) it still out performs any other ... Read review

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.

As an extra snippet , my brother in law took friends to Snowdonia in winter, and was happily simmering potatoes for eight, when all of their gas stoves had given up the ghost. He then bought one of his own!
