Ignik  2-in-1 Heater-Stove

Bought this to replace a single burner coleman bottle-top burner and single use canisters. First use, takes a minute to get the gas to flow. Didn't get hot enough to sear steak in a 22cm cast iron pan.

Somehow, I did not read the reviews before purchasing this item. Day one at campsite, I go to make breakfast and the hose doesn't fit. I pinch-hit the whole trip with a trusty Eureka stove. Once home, I dig through the gear box. No other hose. This IS the hose, and it TRULY doesn't fit. I sign on to REI to research the stove and discover- EVERYONE has the same problem. HOW does a storefront continue to sell an item that cannot be used? This is happening enough with REI that I am rethinking where I shop.

An evil joke... the hose does not connect to a Ignik propane canister! I assumed the disconnection issues mentioned by reviewers was operator error... It's NOT!

Don’t buy this at any price- the hose that comes in the box literally does not attach to the heater. Looks cool, seems like a good deal, you can’t even assemble it out of the box, let alone use it. Save the return label.

I had great hopes for this stove. I got it for emergency backup. Apparently the manufacturer changed the connection on the stove, but not the hose that connects to it. The connection on the stove does not match the instructions. The supplied hose will not connect to the threaded connector on the stove. The female threads on the hose end fitting are just barely deep enough to engage with the threads on the stove connector, and, alas, the threads are incompatible. It is impossible to put a wrench on the stove connection to back it to prevent it from being torqued, as shown in the instructions. This is actually a good thing, because if one were able to use tools to force it on it would be cross-threaded and would leak, certainly a dangerous situation. I did not feel like removing the factory installed stove connector, and replacing it with one compatible with the hose fitting, so I returned it to my local REI store. It’s not as simple as just replacing the hose, because the hose is a custom hose with a regulator on the other end which controls the pressure of the supplied propane. Another consideration is that the manufacturer may have had a good reason for replacing the stove connector. If so, they should have also changed the hose fitting to make it compatible. Perhaps the only reason for replacing the stove connector may have been a supply issue. If so, their solution is unsatisfactory and unsafe. I gave this 1 star even though the stove itself seems robust and durable, because I was unable to test it. The REI return was simple. I explained the problem and advised them to not resell it. These stove should be returned to the manufacturer so that they can correct the problem.

Awful. I couldn't get the pilot to engage. I switched propane tanks and even tried a different gas line adaptor. Sending it back.

I appreciate all the other reviews here. Before the colossal snowstorm in January 2026, I was looking for a backup method of heat in case of a power outage. I have electric heat. Well, thankfully I did NOT need this heater. In a panic, I purchased this online for in-store pickup. Perhaps the last portable heater available in my state the night before a major storm. Based on the previous reviews, I asked an REI team member to check the hose connection to the proprietary propane tank. It’s also important to note that you must also purchase the Ignik propane tank for $60 or $130 with the carrying case. And that’s an empty propane tank! You will still need to have it filled. You cannot use the popular pre-filled Coleman green propane tanks. But you also cannot even use the proprietary Ignik tanks either because the hoses DO NOT connect to the heater! Myself and two other REI employees all discovered this before I even took it out of the store based on all the previous reviews I read here. This product should be pulled off the shelves until the manufacturer can fix the connector issue. REI employees were astonished by such an epic fail of one of their products. I appreciate them taking the time to help me in the store the night before a big storm when they were incredibly busy helping other customers. I would definitely shop at REI again. But do not buy this at any cost. This complete failure by Ignik shouldn’t even be given away for free because it’s a waste of space and completely useless. I wasted time and gasoline to get to the store which prompted me to write this review and caution any other people from wasting resources on this faulty device.

Can't place an order! Tried to every which way, but can't get one to go through.
