Coleman EvenTemp 3 Burner Stove with Griddle and Grease Cup

Great product. Cooks like a champion.The griddle is very thin though so if temperature change occurs (when I pour beer on my onions - do it, it's so good) the griddle bends and contorts.Also, it is difficult to have a small flame.But overall it's a great addition to the camping kit.

Decent family size stove , 2 complaints

We camp often with our three kids and extended family, and don't like to cook inside our trailer so a good outdoor stove is a must for us.the slightly larger size is a plus for us, as you can easily fit a large fry pan and pot, at the same time, or of course use the full size included (with ours anyways) grille. Speaking of the grille it is my first issue. It needs to be a two sided grille, one side smooth as it is and the other side with raised grilling area for barbecuing meats, etc. Come on coleman , it wouldn't have cost any more to cast ? Gripe 2 is the controls for the temperature for the two main burners. I am guessing they are a cost effective valve for the company but as others have mentioned in their reviews, difficult to get to a lower setting without ... MoreWe camp often with our three kids and extended family, and don't like to cook inside our trailer so a good outdoor stove is a must for us.the slightly larger size is a plus for us, as you can easily fit a large fry pan and pot, at the same time, or of course use the full size included (with ours anyways) grille.

Gripe 2 is the controls for the temperature for the two main burners. I am guessing they are a cost effective valve for the company but as others have mentioned in their reviews, difficult to get to a lower setting without turning the burner off. Easy fix might be a larger diameter control button? Last but not least is the connector for the propane cylinder could be placed flush with the outside of the case, on ours it is indented (inset inside the stove )and can be difficult to find and start the threads for The fitting on the stove side of the connector . Gripes aside , this is a decent stove and easily boils a large pot of coffee quickly, as well as made up several batches of pancakes for the kids ( some time to get all three burners matched but worked very well ). Typical quality of all stoves built today, but worthy of the money spent for our family

Doesn't seem like it will last

I have had several coleman stoves ranging from the original style suitcase stove that run on coleman fuel and a backpacking style stove. I decided to but this model 2 years ago for car camping. Overall it is usable and works as expected but it has design flaws that will ultimately make it end up in the garbage after a few years. For one the latch on the lid is CHEAP plastic and barely holds the lid closed and often pops open dumping everything on the ground during transport. I have been strapping the lid closed with a nylon strap. Next, the battery compartment for the ignition system has the same problem. The screw that hold the door closed does not line up well with the recieving nut and often opens dumping the battery out. Next is the propane tank attachment. ... MoreI have had several coleman stoves ranging from the original style suitcase stove that run on coleman fuel and a backpacking style stove.

The screw that hold the door closed does not line up well with the recieving nut and often opens dumping the battery out. Next is the propane tank attachment. There is no real storage for this piece except to place it in next to the burners. This causes it to rattle around during transport and rub the paint off of the stove as well as create noise. Lastly the side shields that act as wind blockers have major gaps that do not block the wind well at all.

Flame is either blow-torch or off and more probs

While the construction seems very solid and this stove is great for boiling big pots of water, it is generally useless for anything else because the flame control is so touchy - it's either very-high, high, or off. YouTube videos show older models that you could take the valve knobs off, pull out the stems, clean them, then have a wide range of very-low to very-high. With this model, the handle assembly prevents access to make that basic repair. As others report, the girdle doesn't store properly. Please post how to get at the valves to do the simple cleaning or do you really need to take the entire thing apart?

Gets the job done - shoddy build

Fine if all you want is to heat stuff up fast, otherwise, not so good. Quality of build is shoddy - the latch doesn't hold it shut, the igniter is unreliable (sometimes works, sometimes doesn't), and the flame adjustment is a combination of squishy (as in you adjust it down and it springs back to a higher setting) and too high. The label fell off one of the knobs on mine right out of the box. Coleman, who did this to you? You used to be such a great brand.

Poorly made

Zero stars. Purchased in January, first used in June, failed in September. Only used on a table inside my house while my kitchen was under construction. While unscrewing the propane regulator pipe from the stove, the stove side connection broke and just spins around. Now the regulator can't be removed from the stove, and it leaks propane massively. The lid latch has never worked, and can't be adjusted. I had to hold the lid shut while carrying the stove. The stove flame knobs seem to have tension, so when you set your desired flame setting and let go, it slowly spins back, decreasing your flame. Also, the center burner can't be turned up enough to be useful, which is surprising because the side burners put out so much

We used this for six home game tailgate parties this year and it worked fine. With the middle burner, it supplied perfect heat for full length griddles and oval-shaped cast iron pots. It put out high heat but we were able to turn it down and did not have issues with burning food. The side panels worked well to prevent wind blow out. Hooking up the gas canister was easy. Not five stars because of the overall construction. The case metal is much "tinnier" than older Coleman stoves (which may make it lighter for campers) however the metal grate that holds the pots is sturdy and it appears that it will hold up well. As others have reported the latch is poorly designed plastic that is supposed to line up and hold.. Since I was forwarned by other reviews I was extra ... MoreWe used this for six home game tailgate parties this year and it worked fine.

Surprisingly ( I was certainly surprised when I opened the liftgate) the stove did survive a fall from the back of the SUV with absolutely no damage. We are packing it differently now. I would buy this again for use on the road or on the deck.

You can't cook with it but it sure can boil water.

Looks good, feels good, sets up good, options all good...but...It's a dud.Like almost everyone else the burners on mine have only two settings:1) Volcano - low setting2) Sun - high settingThat's it.No matter what the burners will not turn down to a normal cooking temperature. I though with use that it would "wear in" and become more adjustable but it never did.It's like brand new as it's only been used 10 or 12 times, just to boil water, and now it sits on the shelf in my garage. I would throw it out but I'm keeping it only as a backup for emergencies where the power goes out and there's a boil water advisory...because THAT is the one thing it does very well.I bought a cheap onsale Woods propane stove and while it looks only half as goods it has worked ... MoreLooks good, feels good, sets up good, options all good...but...It's a dud.Like almost everyone else the burners on mine have only two settings:1) Volcano - low setting2) Sun - high settingThat's it.No matter what the burners will not turn down to a normal cooking temperature.

poor quality, grill design dysfunctional

Not sure what happened here. Coleman used to be something you could count on, at least in their stoves. I had a two burner self igniting prior that worked great for many years. I ordered this one in anticipation of a camping trip with my two boys. It arrived and despite the grill seeming to be a simpler (easier for cleaning?) design, there was only one hole for the edge of the grill to seat, the other three edges just sort of swung loose, the welding on the metal for the grill was misaligned so it did not sit flush with the stove, but tipped up and down once the one peg was in the "anchor hole". The little thumb screw to open the battery compartment for the self ignition was completely stripped and did not open in the manner described. We never could get it to open. ... MoreNot sure what happened here. Coleman used to be something you could count on, at least in their stoves.

MY old self ignition stove has an intrinsic spark, never needed a battery?! I was really disappointed in the quality and for the cost had to return it. It was not anything worth trying to work with. I was excited to have the triple burner option. Basically it's much bigger in size, the same two burners on either end, and a middle one squeezed in. Looking at it I don't think there is any way to get three pots cooking at the same time, but does allow for a bigger pan to be used with a smaller one. I was not happy with this product for my needs and what I had anticipated by the description given.
