The Coleman Triton 2-Burner (model 2157352) is a good two-pan propane stove for drive-up camps, but it is a 10.55-pound car-camping stove, not a backpacking one. Coleman lists 22,000 total BTU across two adjustable burners, wind guards, a removable grate and room for a 12-inch pan beside a 10-inch pan. Coleman’s page lists match-flame ignition, so plan to bring a long lighter or matches. Retailer listings disagree on this, so confirm the ignition on the listing you buy.
| Pick | Who it is for | Key published specs | Buy |

What the specifications mean
| Published detail | Buying consequence |
|---|---|
| 22,000 total BTU | Enough output for boiling and pan cooking across two burners |
| Two adjustable burners | Separate heat control for a pot and a pan |
| Fits one 12-in. and one 10-in. pan | Measure cookware bases and handles, not just nominal diameter |
| Match-flame ignition (per Coleman) | Bring a long lighter or matches and a protected backup |
| Up to 1 hour on high | Coleman figure for one 16-oz cylinder; real use varies with settings and conditions |
| 10.55 lb | Fine for the car, impractical for backpacking |
Fuel planning
Coleman’s “up to one hour on high” is a ceiling, not a meal count. A menu that needs four 20-minute periods with both burners on high adds up to 80 minutes, already longer than the advertised maximum for one 16-ounce cylinder. The cylinder is sold separately, so carry a spare within the maker’s and your destination’s rules.
Use it outdoors only
Use the stove outdoors on a stable, level, noncombustible surface in an open area. A tent, vehicle, screen room or other enclosed shelter can accumulate carbon monoxide and create a fire hazard even with a door or window open. Follow the manual for connecting the cylinder and checking for leaks, never test for a leak with a flame, and follow local fire restrictions.
Who should skip it
Skip the Triton if you need push-button ignition, a stove that goes in a backpack, or a compact kit. For a boil-only trail menu, the Jetboil Flash 1.0L review covers a compact water-boiling system. Match your connection first with the gas canister reference if you are considering a canister burner instead.
How to choose
- Decide whether you cook two things at once. If meals are one-pot, a second burner adds weight and table space for little gain.
- Lay out your real pots and pans before the trip; handles and lids can make a 12-plus-10-inch claim awkward.
- Check the ignition type on the exact listing, and pick a model with push-button ignition if matches are a dealbreaker.
