The Coleman F1 UltraLight Stove isn't just a weight saving stove; it's also ultra-compact and ultra-powerful for its size. Hailing from Coleman's award-winning Exponent line of backpacking gear, the F1 UltraLight weighs in at a scant 2.7 ounces, but packs 16,400 BTUs of heat in its single burner for lightning-quick boiling time at full blast. Full flame adjustability means it's also capable of a low simmer and everything in between, and the serrated pot supports fold away for storage in the included stuff sack. If you pack light but don't want to sacrifice function, the F1 UltraLight from Coleman should be a part of your checklist.

Extremely Hot & Lightweight

Rating:*****

I've been using this stove for over three years with outstanding results @ or above 11,500 ft. Not only does it provide 16,400 BTU's, it weighs in @ 87g, including the stuff sack. The flame forms a ball of heat which is much better for even heat distribution. The F1 is also extremely wind resistant & simmers @ an amazingly low setting while all the time being fuel efficient. (As it is with all stoves, do not boil & cook @ the highest setting. Balance the blue flame for maximum heat & efficiency).

Review Title

Rating:*****

Took this stove to Yosemite for a backpacking trip. Worked great. It hardly takes up any space and it boils water super fast. I was using it at 9600 ft and had no problems. It's a terrific buy. I just love how small it packs up.

Great Stove

Rating:****

This little stove does great. Boils water much faster than I expected and burns evenly when you want to fry something up. Really light and packs small. Also has a good surface area (pots and pans don't want to fall off). Good buy in my mind.

Rating:*****

bought this last summer and have used it backpacking and to show off to friends. lightweight, fuel's easy to find, packs small, heats great - water gets to boiling in a snap. for the money, better than pocketrocket or anything else.

Great/reliable backpacking stove

Rating:****

easy to use, we had a hard time finding the right fuel in the small town we were hiking out of, but did find it in the end. Great stove, lightweight and really small. Fun for people who like gadgets.

awesome little stove

Rating:*****

Such a light and small little stove that really packs a punch. Great for long backpacking trips and fuel lasts for days and days of cooking.

Negative Reviews:

oxidation issues with this stove

Rating:**

Im looking to replace this stove. Had for less than 30 days, used only twice (two weekends) and after first weekend, noticed oxidation on the stem (made out of aluminum, i think). Absolutely loved the stove, but because of the oxidation, i could not get a steady flame output. Too bad, because for the money, this little stove kicked @ss and it collapsed down nicely to fit in my GSI cookware set along with a canister of fuel :(. Not sure why oxidation occured, but you would think Coleman would have taken the common elements (moisture) into account when making this little stove.
