Doesnt seem worth the money for only 2,000 more total btu. I have used a classic for years, decades actually, and never have had an issue one. From fall/spring camping to use at home it gets a good work out every year. During tomato season I set it up outside for hot bath canning. It doesnt cost much in fuel and keeps my kitchen cooler not using a hotbath inside. Of course without the photos it doesnt happen.
In Colorado Springs cooking up some hashbrown potatoes, home made haggis and good sunny side up eggs for breakfast.
Dang that looks good enough to eat
In the woods during a nice Missouri fall.. too dang hot and humid for me to do summer camping here..
My only beef with Coleman is they stopped making the fuel cannisters for their Exponet Expedition series. This was a lightweight 1 or 2 burner system that I used on mountaineering trips when I cooked for our groups. The 2 burner was great, folded up and was lightweight. They sold an adapter so you could use other fuel canisters but I felt they should have made them free or less than what they were charging. Otherwise Ive used, abused, sold and bought coleman products as long as Ive been camping and my classic stove will get another summer canning workout when the cabbage comes in for making saurkraut.
And as it should be Im in a kilt in both places......
