keep a eye out for a old used one at yard sales.i have about ten of those Coleman suitcase stoves and never payed more than $10.one new in the box for that much.the older ones seem to me made a bit more heavy than the new.like Blast said get a propane converter and a couple small bottles and your good to go for a easy light up.Coleman fuel works great and burns hot if you want to take a minute to pre-heat the burner.the second burner over on the left does not seems to burn as hot has the main on the right.if you really want to get into it look for a THREE burner in an aluminum case,that will cook meals for a big gang of hungry kids.there are lots of Coleman copy's from Sear,Wards and some off brands,i have those too, and they all seem to work just as good.so anyway watch the yard sales.used stoves need a bit of cleaning to clear the generator but just running them with some carb cleaner in the fuel does the trick.cobwebs--no joke--in the big vaporizer tube is a common problem.
