      Comments about Coleman Signature InstaStart Grill Stove:

      When out at the campground, this stove is perfect.
      I decided to upgrade from the old white gas to this stove, and I gotta say, it was the best choice! This stove lights instantly, and burns very hot (8 cup coffee pot boils in about 5 minutes). It is very fuel efficient, as we only used about half a bottle of fuel on a two night stay, cooking all meals on this stove.
      The greatest thing is the built in grill, so you can cook directly on the stove on the big grill surface, while boiling water or whatever on the burner.
      With the removable grease tray, which just slides right out, makes this the easiest stove to clean, hands down. The grill plate is even dishwasher safe.

        We used this at Yosemite and a few other camps over the year. From pancakes to steaks, this grill / stove did it all! It's great for car camping! I wish I could explain why it seems to make food taste better while camping vs. at home... maybe it's the wife - I'll get back to ya.

        Comments about Coleman Signature InstaStart Grill Stove:

        this thing is sweet! yeah i did put one con, but you make due! its a tad hard to control temp settings but hey if you cant handle that you cant handle camping so go home..

        its easy to clean, def read the instructions first tho, you cant put pots n pans on the grill portion only the steaks n stuff.. but you have the extra spot where you can and yes it does boil water fast, provides great wind cover, and does it all well..

        i was out in the desert with 10-20 mph winds and this sucker stayed lit and still cooked just fine. ill admit it does take a bit longer to boil water with those winds but it does the job. it has a spark button which is nice and it works, and one tank lasted me 3-4 days for breakfast, quick lunch (hot dogs) and dinner everyday.. if you want luxury in car camping or even a day at the beach this is your ticket..

          This stove was our best friend on a recent car camping trip. So easy and efficient...used only 1.5 propane canisters over 7 meals. Use tin foil under the grill for easy cleanup. The instant start-up is divine.

          Comments about Coleman Signature InstaStart Grill Stove:

          This stove was great for car camping. We just stayed in Big Bend for 4 days and given that there was a burn ban which restricted use of the charcol park grills, we would have been lost without it. Even given the windy nights in the Chisos Basin, the grill stayed lit. We even removed the grates and made smores!

          The only thing I didn't like (which is minor) is that once the grill is closed it is tough to carry with no handle.

          Comments about Coleman Signature InstaStart Grill Stove:

          Great for car camping, developed campgrounds and tail-gating. My one complaint is that the instant ignite button needs something your hand can leverage against: you go to push the button, and end up pushing the grill back. If the grill is hot at the time, this is a bit of a problem. It's not the easiest to clean (steel wool would scrub the finish clean off) but as portable grills go, it's great.

          Comments about Coleman Signature InstaStart Grill Stove:

          I bought this camp stove to bring along on my Jeep adventures. The grill portion seemed awesome as a few staples of trail food are burgers and hot dogs. It is .... with a few caveats

          I've found the temperature has two settings. Off and High. Makes cooking things a bit tricky.

          The grill is VERY difficult to clean. I've scrubbed and scrubbed and can't get the silver part under the grill clean. I've given up at this point.

          As a few other reviewers stated the push button starter function is great however if you're not holding the grill down the grill will actually move backwards before the push button start is pressed.

          If I still had the box I would definitely be taking this grill back.

            I chose this because I didn't want to bring separate stove and a grill for car camping. Just used this recent purchase for a 6 night trip in the White Mountains for our family of 4. Used it each day for dinner, most breakfasts and boiled water for tea/coffee each afternoon and didn't finish 3 bottles of propane. Loved the instastart even though you have to hold the stove at the same time to push. The grill side was slightly more tempermental to ignite but it worked. Used this to grill steak kebabs, chicken breasts, hot dogs, burgers, sausages for dinner while cooking rice or veggies at the same time. Boiling water for coffee or tea was very fast. Even boiled water for a pound of pasta in a reasonable time. The grill surface washed up easily. Used foil under the grill side and changed it each day. Yes, the propane bottle attachment was awkward. This stove/grill combo was a great purchase for our family.

            Little bulky but does the trick while camping. Doesn't come with a carry case and needs one desperately. Apparently Coleman makes one but the reviews say it does not fit well. Other than being a little bulky to transport it cooks very well and has enough power to boil water, cook pancakes, burgers, etc. in short order.

              Comments about Coleman Signature InstaStart Grill Stove:

              I had one of these stoves for at least 10 years. I had to replace 1 componant in that time. Took it for a weekend soccer trip and for some reason the grill part had stopped working. Tried to fix but couldn't so it's going bye-bye.
              Only 2 things I didn't like about this grill (well 3 now) 1) When I bought it was more than half what it's being sold for now.2) When grilling it would be nice to have some sort of top to cover the food especially when it's windy as the sides don't really do a whole lot. I believe this would also make it more efficient. I used tinfoil and it melted the grate! 3) It's more like a fryer/ grill as it doesn't really spread the flame very well so all cooking has to be done in the center.
              Otherwise this grill has served me well on many a car camping trips over the years.
