Looking at picking up a new Coleman propane stove tomorrow. I'm trying to decide between a match start stove or Colemans Instastart stove. Exact same stove, just two choices.
Anyone know the durability of the Instastart system? Am I going to have the system break easily and have to rely on using matches, making it a mute point to begin with?
Both have pros, both have cons.
Push button, no matches!
Button breaks, no matches, no good
Forget matches with no push button, no good
Matches get wet, don't start, no good
Too windy to keep matches lit, again, no good
I'm kinda torn. It would be nice to not need to rely on matches, but your placing your trust into a breakable system, at 20.00 more that could go towards other stove accessories.
Not sure how much traffic this thread will see between now and somepoint tomorrow but any info or thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks guys.
