The Classic is the two-burner stove most families can afford, and it covers the full-meal half of our angle. Coleman lists 20,000 total BTUs across two independently adjustable burners, enough room for a 12 inch and a 10 inch pan at once, and WindBlock side panels that adjust to your pan size. A PerfectFlow pressure regulator is meant to keep the flame steady in cold or windy weather. On one 16.4 oz propane cylinder Coleman quotes up to an hour with both burners on high. The grate is chrome-plated and removable, and the cooktop is aluminized steel. The limits are clear on the spec sheet: it weighs 11.65 lbs, it has no built-in igniter, and its total output is half that of the Camp Chef Everest 2X. The list price is $97.49, and Coleman had it on sale for $82.99 on our check date.
