I've been using the same Coleman Peak 1 and fuel containers for more than 20 years. Among its advantages are re-useable containers and rapid boil times.

I've owned my MSR PocketRocket for years now, and I'll never use any other stove. The compactability is the best, fitting nicely into it's red plastic triangular case.

I'm just back from a 4 day backpacking trip. I was able to cook 9 meals with 1 - 3.88 oz canister for my self with the Raptor. The greastest feature is the piezo ignitor, no matches to find and it lit the first time every time! Great stove regardless of the slower boiling times.

I also have the Coleman Peak One micro stove. It weighs about 6 oz so its not the lightest stove but it works really well and has an excellent heat-shielded flame control. I've used it with the Coleman fuel and MSRs fuel but I think most canister fuels would work. If I need a lighter canister stove, I'd consider one of the stoves in the review.

Hi. I'm just curious. What do you all think of Coleman's multi-fuel Exponent stove? I'm from a tropical country where it doesn't snow. Would it suffice or would I be better pff with something like an MSR Whisperlite/Simmerlite, or something to that effect?

And what does one do with the spent canisters?
With my MSR Whisperlite I boil a lot more and the fuel bottle is reusable forever almost.I just dont feel canister stoves are very "green."

Glenn-the butane/propane mix wont do well in very cold temps-just FYI

Are any of these really any better than my trusty old Turbo Bluet? I have carried this thing for a long time, and reading these above specs tell me to keep on doing so.

$19 Walmart Coleman Peak One with $4 Coleman blended butane/propane mix is within the same ranges as these higher $$$ models. WalMart's are everywhere so special fuel access no issue.
