Awesome review! I bought one from Amazon, and after reading the negative reviews I was wanting to return it. You convinced me to keep it. Thanks for your review...

I recently got rid of one of these. I'd had it for more than 20 years, used it a few times. It was too wobbly and very poorly made. Yours appears to be more sturdy, although otherwise identical to the one I had. Nice video - thanks for making it.

That's a Coghlans stove. I have one of them myself. I do like it for what it is, but I got one of the small isobutane stoves to actually take with me packing. I kept the Coghlans and still have some Sterno fuel for it, but I don't use it much. I mainly use it to keep something simmering while I cook something else, and it's actually pretty good for that.

Pura vida. Buenísimo. Me encanta tu mini cosina

You can use a collapsable veggy steamer to put inside and use it as a mini wood burning stove.

An exercise in how to turn 6 minutes of information into a 12 minute video. I have two of these stoves and like them better than the Sterno brand unit.

Sterno is horrible fuel. I have one of these stoves and used it once. I was so put off by the rediculous boil time, that I ran out and bought a MSR Pocket Rocket. The folding stove is in its box and I carry it in a pannier as a kick-stand base for bicycle touring when on soft ground. I am buying a Trangia alcohol burner for fun and may use this folding stove as a pot base if the Trangia fits.

Lorne Smith I use my military Trangia burner in all my sterno stoves. Fits in can holder perfect. I do like newer sterno grill top stove, the older flower top seems to steal the heat from flame.

At that rate to boil, I think sterno would be great for the long simmers needed to make rice and/or beans. and stuff like that.

This stove works great with an Esbit alcohol burner. I've cooked rice with this exact device, without issue, and it came out perfect!

I burn wood in mine, no fuel to pack ever. I don't run out of fuel and no empty containers to take out with me. Improvise, adapt, overcome, Hoorah U S Navy SEALS'.

I agree with you on the vac sealing those cans. Nothing like getting some place and finding your cans evaporated away while getting there. Also, like the compact cooking items. Now, where did I put those matches???? Cheers.

You can cook 2 items same time with lid!!!!! Nice set!!!!

There were several Sterno stoves, the crummy aluminum # 30 you mention, the Sterno # 33, grandfather to the Coghlans stove shown there, and the Sterno # 46, the two burner version! Classic Camp Stoves has examples of all of the Sterno stoves there!

Very good review! 😃

Looks pretty cool

I love this stove stand, I don't use sterno much only to cook something that needs cooked a long time like when I simmer chili because sterno doesn't burn very hot but I love the stove stand for my mini cast iron fry pan and I use a alcohol stove under mine for a hotter burn! or my esbit burner, the stove stand comes in handy! I have the same pots you show in the vid, they are nice too!

Have you checked out the Swedish made Trangia alcohol stoves yet? The Trangia will boil water twice as fast as sterno, yet is just as quiet as sterno, unlike the gas canister stoves that are kind of loud and annoying. In the 3 months since I bought my first Trangia, I have not used my Snow Peak Giga power stove a single time! Trangia stoves are silent and bombproof!

Does the canned heat get hot enough to make fried foods with a skillet?

coglans stove!!

I have one of these and I use either the Trangia or esbit alcohol stove with it.

were can find one of the steel one like dad had nice mess kit cools like its made for the stove lol

I add a paint can lever opener for sterno can fuel. Otherwise use the Trangia burner.

25 minutes to get water to a boil??? Kinda slow dont yah think?? I have a old Esbit that i use with a $10 walmart mess kit. I use cottonballs soaked in denatured alcohol and it takes about 4.5 mintues.

if you cut the entire lid off a sterno instead of just removing lid, complete game changer

Nice video. Thanks

@WisconsinEric I will have to go check that one out. Thanks for the tip!!

Wait... What was the challenge??

Mini tripod $1.00 at the dollar tree! Go for it, man.

I have had Sterno cans leak. A small tripod works well for demos like yours and can also be used as a Handel for the camera.

@TheSheChef I was actually thinking about your ham fried rice while I was doing this out there so I just couldn't resist filming and posting this!! I bow before your Golden Wok!!! LMAO!

Hahaha You're going to get your butt kicked now lol. Great video! Those lil pots and stove are awesome! So cute.

Nothing wrong with a little friendly challenge....LOL

The Trangia/Seva burner will fit the Sterno stove too. You need a newer lightweight Sterno stove. I have some of the older Sterno double can/burner stoves too.

I thought the Sterno stoves were aluminum and the Chinese import stoves were steel.

lol the bomb mountain house

That is not a Sterno stove. It is a Coghlans or Rothco stove. A Chinese copy of a original American product. A Sterno stove is unpainted aluminum not painted steel.

Blue Mountain Edward Sterno folding stoves have been around since 1918. They were made of steel, one and two burner styles. They went to aluminum with grill top many years later. I have white and gold colored aluminum ones, plus single and double steel ones. Coghlans copyed the steel one, as did Rothco. Rothco copy sometimes does not have door and is orange. The model #33 Sterno has a different cutout on top.

Sorry to bust your chops, but I have one of the original Sterno stoves like the Coghlans, painted bright orange, right along with the two burner version as well.

I, myself have both of the stoves that you mentioned. Had the single one back in the early 60's. I believe it was blue. Now, I have the black one as well.

I have the cheap orange Chinese knockoff that doesn't have the door(boo), and the boy scout sterno stove.

I just got this stove on Amazon

Bwa hahaha - Chicken Teriyaki with Rice - We don't have Sterno Camp Stove but I will do it on 2 rocketstoves outside. LOL..you can have the golden spatula as long as I keep the Golden Wok!

Side ways can opener Angle around the Sterno can I will make a better fire for you

lol the lid had Open written on it. I wonder on the inside it had Open other side. XD

I like my folding camp stove better due to the fact that wood is used for fuel and you don't have to worry about running out. I do have one of these in case it is raining or snowing and no dry fuel is available, also if I have to cook inside where smoke would be an issue. I like sterno but as you founded out it takes a lot longer to boil water with it. they are both so compact and light that it is easy to carry both with me. good review btw

👍

That is a Coghlan's camp stove, not Sterno.

I would have already starved to death

hope you dont mind i subscribed are the mountion house meals realy that good never tryed them

would be nice if you put your recorder on something so it would be stable. Makes me dizzy your all over the place.

Diana Smith Hill I agree. They'll spend lots of money on various things but won't spend a dime on a tripod.

Dan Burch My sincere apologies for not thinking to pack my tripod on the camping trip when this video was made. The video was something I did to poke fun at a friend and had I known their would be master videographers critiquing my work I would have made a point to bring the tripod. I see by the tremendous volume of work that you post that you are a cinemagraphy genius.Please feel free to click on the X tab at any time.

Diana Smith Hill, yes, a tripod would be a good investment for his future videos.

17 bucks

Sterno stoves have been out for a long time, my dad used one in the 80's to make coffee with when he went out on his national guard outings and with these people wanting these expensive crap fuels stoves is pathetic, what if your stuck and have no more fuel, than what cha gonna do, cry because you have to wait a few more mins. to boil or cook your food, very funny! lol that's right camp gear went up because of all of the wanna be survivalist lol
