You need this for the Zombie Apocalypse
I bought this for my disaster preparedness kit. l love that it is sturdy and quite versatile. In a pinch, you could use things other than sterno to cook with this. I used my Trangia alcohol stove as a proof of concept. One could use sticks in it, if one needed.This is the really important part. Coffee. You see, I cannot exist without coffee. Well, actually that is not true. –> I <-- can exist without coffee, but anyone who has to be around me does not want to live through that. So, I must have coffee. In a power outage, when my house is all electric, this is a problem. I have a Coleman propane stove, a propane single burner unit, and a propane grill. However, in an extended outage, one can burn up a good deal of propane, and those stupid little canisters are not cheap. I could use a larger propane tank, with some adaptation, but that is inconvenient, and the propane still is not that cheap. I decided that the most cost effective way to go, since I don't have a fireplace, was to use an alcohol stove.That led to me buying a Trangia stove kit. I LOVE that thing. But there is one problem. Yes. The coffee. The way the Trangia kit is designed, I can't just throw a percolator on it. So I either have to use a backpacking stove, make French Press coffee by boiling water in my JetBoil or other gas-powered arrangement (defeating cheap alcohol burner approach), etc., or I need something that will support my percolator. This is the kind of thing engineers sit around and think about when the power is out for extended periods, in case you wondered.Enter the Coghlan's Folding Stove. I can throw my alcohol burner inside and my percolator on top. Tah dah! Coffee. If a mountain blows up or we have the Big One (eathquake), and I am stuck for days, I can even use sticks when the mineral spirits, Heet, and any other burnable fuels are all gone. I can have coffee, even during Armageddon. I suppose I could even cook food with this, if I had to. ;)Great for throwing in the car for emergency kit on road trips, camping, and just because it is a fun little stove. In fact, I think I am going to buy a second one so that I can leave it in my car. C'mon, have you never watched Survivorman???I considered buying the Sterno brand folding stove, but after reading reviews and looking at this one in stores, the quality of this stove sold me on it. I am very happy with it. It's a great addition to my disaster preparedness kit and is just handy to boot. Glad I bought it.

Emergency heating stove
Liked reviews, size and quality. It is compact, lightweight and easy to transport.

Great for use for camping with alcohol burner (Solo stove or penny-can stove) BUT…
Great for use for camping with alcohol burner (Solo stove or penny-can stove) BUT…The surface of these is something that burns and creates a rather dark and toxic colored smoke. I would recommend giving it more than a couple of full-depletion-of-solo-stove uses first – and definitely in an outdoor environment. Get that surface material burnt off all the way.This is large enough to put a real full size pot or pan on. And it folds flat so that you can easily fit it into a backpack. Together with a good back-packing pot and a solo stove and a small bottle of 91% or higher iso alcohol, this permits a sturdy camping cooking kit.

Useful
This greatly increases the cooking fire of canned heat.I decided to use gel canned heat as an emergency cooking tool. After testing it on a camping trip, it worked alright. I had set it in a bowl with a grid to rest my backpacking cookware on. When this went on sale during the October days, it was finally a price I was willing to pay… and it was well worth the investment. It increased the flame and significantly cut cooking time. The device itself is aldo quite sturdy.Cons would include the fact that the smooth cooking surface does lend to sliding if it’s not set level. Also the price… it was definitely worth the $11 sale I got it on, would even be worth $15, but the regular price of $20 seems a bit excessive for such a small and simple piece that only allows use of canned heat and has the above mentioned sliding problem. Another potential con would be the weight – it is a bit hefty when considering what to pack for a hike or an emergency bag.

Well designed. Fun to use.
Fun & easy to use. I would say it is (almost) idiot-proof!

Excellent for the price!
I wanted an alternative to my mini stove that you have to feed twigs into. I put it together and it seems very sturdy. The sterno can fits under it nicely so I canât see how it wouldnât work great.

Nice
Looks like it will work great in a pinch. Haven’t used it yet but I took it out of the box and bought Sternos seperate. Can’t wait to use it.

Limited use
For camping or survival, handy to heat up a cup of water or can of soup. Nice back up if worse comes to worse. Price point reasonable

I recently purchased the Coghlan’s Folding Stove for my outdoor adventures, and I have been thoroughly impressed with its performance and design.The simplicity of use is a standout feature of the Coghlan’s Folding Stove. Setting it up is a breeze, and I was amazed by how quickly is to assemble. The ingenuous design allows for efficient airflow, ensuring that the fuel burns evenly and consistently.One of the most impressive aspects is the sturdiness of the Coghlan’s Folding Stove. Despite its lightweight and compact design, it feels incredibly solid and can handle larger pots and pans without any wobbling. This sturdiness adds an element of reliability to my outdoor cooking experience, giving me confidence in its durability even in rugged environments.What truly sets this folding stove apart is its versatility. It’s compatible with a variety of burners types, including alcohol and fuel tab stoves. This flexibility gives me the freedom to choose the fuel source that best suits my needs for each trip. Whether I’m using alcohol or fuel tabs, the stove delivers consistent heat and reliable cooking performance.If you’re looking for a reliable and efficient cooking solution for your outdoor adventures, I wholeheartedly recommend giving the Coghlan’s Folding Stove a try.

For the price it is sturdy enough and a good option for emergency cooking if the electricity is out or for meal jars and boiling the billy while camping. Highly portable. Haven’t tried it yet, but looks like it will do the job.
