Does it come with a butane canister?

No. The stove is sold without fuel; it takes one 8.8 oz butane cylinder, which you buy separately.

How long does a canister last?

Coleman rates it at up to about 1.25 hours on high with one 8.8 oz butane cylinder. Lower settings stretch that further.

Does it need matches?

No. The Instastart ignition lights the burner with a push button.

The burner is sized for one pan up to 10 inches across.

Can I use propane instead of butane?

No. It is built for butane canisters only.

Is it good for cold-weather camping?

Butane performs poorly near freezing, so expect a weaker flame in cold conditions.

Our take on the Coleman Classic 1 Burner Butane Stove

The Coleman Classic is a single-burner butane camp stove built for simple outdoor cooking. It lights with Instastart push-button ignition, no matches, and puts out 7,650 BTUs under a 10-inch pan. A wind baffle shields the flame and the porcelain-coated grate lifts out for cleaning. It suits car campers, picnickers and tailgaters who want quick setup and easy cleanup rather than multi-pot cooking. Against two-burner propane stoves it trades cooking space for lighter weight and simpler fueling, and it runs on disposable butane canisters rather than refillable tanks.
