 Same problem with regulating the flame Aug 31, 2007
I have to rate this stove high for reliablity and ease of use, it does work very well. However, I can't seem to get a "low" flame, like the other reviewer turning the flame control knob to lower the flame results in no flame at all and a re-lighting, even on low it's high enough to burn food quickly. Overall a good stove though. I was hoping to find out if the knob can be somehow tightened, I plan on contacting Coleman for some answers.

 Regulator bad straight out of the box. Aug 24, 2007
Used the classic white gas model for 30 years w/no probs except for routine maintenance. Very disappointing to receive this qc failure and get no help from coleman.

Does the job but... Aug 22, 2006
...there are some problems I found that need to mentioned.
First off, I need to say that this is the first camping stove I've ever used, so I'm not sure if all stoves have the difficulties I found on this one.
The burner dials were EXTREMELY sensitive to touch. I found that I was turning it up too high, then when trying to turn it down, I would turn it off accidentally. Again, I'm not sure if all camp stoves are this way, but being in my 30s, I've had plenty of experience on stoves and grills, and no controls I've used on any grill were ever this sensitive. I would like to see a product like this have a dial similar to a gas grill, where you have to press the dial and turn it to get the gas to flow and not flow. On gas grill knobs, you can turn them to low and not worry about turning the entire gas off. Not so with this product. I found that I was constantly having to bend over and check the burner very carefully as I was adjusting the flame so that I did not turn the entire burner off and have to relight it with a lighter or match.
Another problem was that the knobs had no guide for how low or high the dial was turned to. This was another reason for me turning it off a lot. You would turn it lower and lower for a low heat, and then boom, you went too far and now it's off. Again, with a less sensitive knob, this wouldn't really have been a problem, either, though. I could have gotten by.
Other than those two problems, the stove worked very well. It was somewhat breezy the couple days we camped, but the windblockers did their job well and the burners never went out due to wind. I felt that it cooked well once you would get it to the right flame you wanted.
Overall, it's an okay product that did its job, but the knobs/dials could be improved.
