Comments about Coleman Exponent Feather 442 Dual Fuel Backpacking Stove:
I have owned the Peak 1 version for over 20 years.
It has proven to be very reliable, never failed me. I do take mine apart every year and clean with carburetor cleaner sprayed through the generator tube and needle valves. If I ever had a problem with the quality of the flame, it was because my fuel was old.
The flame control is excellent. I always use the windscreen to conserve fuel. One fill-up will last the weekend. The stove is a little heavy for backpacking, but that never stopped me. 3 lbs. with full fuel, in its case.
If you are into cooking different types of food on the trail, this stove is a serious contender.
Also, Coleman still sells replacement parts for this stove even after 20 years ( my stove is still all original).

Comments about Coleman Exponent Feather 442 Dual Fuel Backpacking Stove:
My wife and I purchased the Feather 442 specifically for cold weather camping, and we used it all summer without problems. The tank holds 10 ounces of white gas to just below the bottom of filler neck instead of 11.8 listed in specs. 11 ounces will overflow the filler opening. Any more fuel than 10 ounces tends to increase yellow flame on initial lighting (due to reduced air space?). The recommended 25 pump strokes for air prime can also be cut back to reduce yellow flame on lighting. We are impressed with the burner control from high down to low simmer without flameout. We backpack camped over Thanksgiving in the Flint Hills and whoops, it got down to about 8 degrees F instead of the 22 degrees forecast. All of our water froze solid except the hot water Nalgene bottles we had in our mummy bags. We had to warm up a butane torch in an armpit to get it to work, and we used the torch to preheat the 442 generator and burner bowl before lighting. The 442 fired right up, took about 30 seconds to settle down to the blue glow, and boiled a quart of water for our coffee in 4 minutes flat. We used a windscreen at about 60 percent shielding at 9" distance to block the 8 MPH wind. This was at 10 degrees F (low elevation, 1350 FT) so I am very satisfied and confident this stove will work for any cold weather camping (planned or unplanned) we may do in the future. We have been getting about 7 uses on a 10 ounce fill.

Comments about Coleman Exponent Feather 442 Dual Fuel Backpacking Stove:
I just picked this one up [...] a week ago and took it camping. I really like this stove because it has an integrated fuel tank and is a one piece unit. You don't have to assemble it, plug it into a separate fuel tank and unfold quasi-complicated burner supports with sore or cold hands. You just pull it out, deploy its little lunar lander legs (takes all of 3 seconds), pump it up if it needs it and then fire 'er up. When you're done, no disassembly required, just fold the little grasshopper legs under, stuff it back in the sack and GO.This stove also rocks in cold weather, like most liquid fuel stoves it maintains excellent heat output in cold weather (unlike butane/propane stoves which frost over and lose pressure when the temps drop much below 45 deg F). It's also a great simmering stove, you can set it at a low simmering flame and it'll stay there, or you can open it up to max and it will put out some serious heat (the metal on the burner gets cherry red!). I've had butane stoves that would basically only work at full blast and were not good for simmering at all (boiling water for dehydrated food/soup/coffee was about it). Also, this stove runs on "white gas" or unleaded gasoline (for cars), so you'll never have problems finding fuel for it almost wherever you go (certainly not within North America, most of South America and throughout most of Europe). I've had a lot of trouble finding proprietary "Gaz" butane bottles for my french gaz stove here in the states [...] that problem goes away with the 442 stove.Another thing I like about this stove is that it's relatively inexpensive. At [$] it's not super cheap, but it's a alot cheaper than some of the higher end liquid fuel stoves. I Paid [$] for the MSR dragonfly stove a few years back, which is a great stove. But I've found this stove to have most of the benefits of that stove and several advantages over the dragonfly as well - like it's half the price, MUCH quieter and doesn't have a bunch of bits and pieces that can get lost at the worst possible moment. Plus the 442 stove is about the same weight after you add in a comparably sized fuel tank and accessories to the dragonfly.All in all this stove is a rugged, simpler/easier to use, sensibly priced alternative to the fancier modular component stoves. If you analyze weight, expense, overall cooking performance and fuel versatility, the Coleman 442 is a winner in my book.

Comments about Coleman Exponent Feather 442 Dual Fuel Backpacking Stove:
I have two liquid fuel backpacking stoves; this one and an ultra light titanium stove. I like and use both of them. The advantage of this one is that: 1) it is easier to use and very reliable because it is one simple self-contained unit, 2) it can withstand more abuse because it is built so rugged, and 3) it has great temperature control. The only disadvantage is that it weighs just a few ounces more.

Comments about Coleman Exponent Feather 442 Dual Fuel Backpacking Stove:
I use this for motorycle camping and I couldn't be more pleased. It's inexpensive, reliable and it runs on unleaded gas. Great for the end of a long day's ride. I can boil a small pot of water in about a minute.

Comments about Coleman Exponent Feather 442 Dual Fuel Backpacking Stove:
This is probably the best stove for dependability of any stove I've used over the past 30 years since I backpacked the PCT with a Svea(sp)123 stove in 1978. I've used this backpacking, climbing up at 17,000 and it always lights up right away. Some extra pumps are needed once lit, but I pack the extra weight due to its dependability. I bought one for my son to use (until he bought his own Jet Boil- great for boiling water in about 30 seconds only). So I have two, one 15 years old, on 2 years old - never let me down before.

Comments about Coleman Exponent Feather 442 Dual Fuel Backpacking Stove:
I've owned and used this stove for over 8 years and I can say that it is a great stove. I've used it in Virginia Shenandoa Mountains to the mountains ofn North Carolina. It lights easily, boils quickly and gives a great amount of burn time per fill-up. It has never failed me. I have used it down to around 30 degrees and have never had a problem lighting it. It is very stable. The only down side is that it is a little bulky adn the pot support is a little slippery. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could. I would definitely recommend it to a freind.

Comments about Coleman Exponent Feather 442 Dual Fuel Backpacking Stove:
It's a bit heavy for backpacking, and consumes fuel a bit quickly for hiking use. Fine for kayaking, as weight is less of an issue. Only real complaint is that the pots slide very easily off the burner. If the stove is not REALLY level, your meal is gonna go. Make sure it is on a very durable and hard surface. Do not use it on the sand and always keep a grip on the pot.

Comments about Coleman Exponent Feather 442 Dual Fuel Backpacking Stove:
I just took this stove on its maiden voyage. The fuel container held more than enough fuel to get us through the entire weekend. The stove is quick to lite - I didn't have any problems in that area.
The only concern that I have is the inconsistency of the flame control. On some occasions I was able to reduce the flame to a simmer level without any problems. Other times the stove seemed to have two settings: high and off. I think this is related to the delicate balance of air and gas in the burner mechanism. I would guess that I will be able to get it to simmer with practice.

Comments about Coleman Exponent Feather 442 Dual Fuel Backpacking Stove:
I love this little stove, it's perfect for a weekend trip, you can get by without extra fuel. I know it looks heavier then most, but with the fuel tank included, it's really about the same. Plus, it's much more stable than all of the other backpacking stoves I've used.
