Coleman got it right this time. The handle is substantial and remains cold. The handle also facilitates pressing the lighter without reinforcements against the hot metal. The curve, sealed design eliminates sharp edges, and makes cleaning easier. Burners spacious allowed us to use our 9 "frying pan over a single burner, with the wind shields up, and still have space around it (we could use a frying pan slightly larger).
Boiled water reasonably quickly.
The piezoelectric ignition worked fine. Just keep clicking it until you see the flame (hard to do in bright light) or feel the heat.
This is our first experience with propane. PROS: clean and warm. Unlike gasoline stoves, propane does not dirty the bottom of your pots and pans. It does not have the smell and mess of gasoline stoves. CONS: invisible flame in daylight. I can not say if the flame is over or decrease in the bottom of the pot. The flame may actually be too hot. Boil the water with a full flame (I think the burner on the right is a bit 'hotter than the left). But frying pancakes over the fire as low as possible, and keep an eye on it. A flame so hot it can be more that can discolor the metal, or reduce oil to an oven with rubber.
This stove made our recent camping trip a real pleasure.
