| 'STURDY AND RELIABLE' | | Strengths:
Runs off petrol, expensive to buy but probably pays for itself after a couple of seasons in what you save on fuel. | | Weaknesses:
Got mine second-hand, price new would put me off.
| | Overall:
Wanted one for ages for fishing out of the car. |

| 'CHEAP TO RUN AND WON'T LET YOU DOWN. THE ROLLS ROYCE OF STOV' | | Strengths:
Two burners to keep a complete meal warm. Works in every climate. Can fill it from the local garage. Powerfull and does the business. Had mine for 4 years now and it is still going strong!! Never fails, never lets me down! Simple as that!! | | Weaknesses:
A bit bulky and heavy for short sessions. But its a long session stove so i cant complain......... and i won't. | | Overall:
Coleman Double Burner
This is by far the best "double burner" on the market. I have had mine for about 4 years, and it is undoutably an excellent addition to the carp anglers armoury.
You can boil a liter of water in under 4 minutes and the secondary burner will keep food warm while you cook another portion of your meal, so the whole meal is hot when you come to eat it.
The two best things i find about this stove, is that you can use it without any problems whatsoever in sub zero temperatures. I used mine in -12oc in Sweden last winter and it functioned perfectly.
Also to refill the fuel tank you need only go to the petrol station for some "unleaded" and not to a camping shop for a butane canister, as you do with gas burners,...... and gas burners don't work in freezing conditions.
It all stows away nicley into the casing and i also have 2 x 500ml pop bottles with spare fuel in, that also fit great inside.
The whole burner is very stable and you dont get your pots falling off the stove when they start to boil, like you do with single burners. They are also great for cooking baits on the bank.
The fuel tank holds about 1 litre of fuel and is sufficient for a "weekend" session of average use.
There are also wind shields at both sides that do come in very usefull from time to time. All in all this is a great piece of kit and is a must for any serious anglers who spends days at the bankside.
Its the muts nuts, plain and simple :)
