An improved camp toaster that's a breeze to use in my kitchen daily
I don't own an electric toaster. I use this toaster daily on my gas stove and am very pleased with it. I've been using it for about a year. I call it the improved model because the prongs that hold the bread in place are elongated, so that the slices stay in place better than on my now-replaced six-year-old Coleman camp toaster's shorter prongs. As for it taking a long time to toast bread on a gas stove, I find that it depends on the bread. Bread with sugar or other sweeteners browns more quickly than health-food breads such as Alvarado St. or Ezekiel. White rolls from the supermarket bakery brown quite quickly. I am very satisfied with this toaster, made in Canada.
god i love this thing
god i love this thing..we had these toasters when i grew up as a kid camping....we were very poor when i was a kid and there was often times when we didnt have electric..but thanks to this little guy we always had toast,works on any gas stove..it is light weight, compact, travels well..when i pulled it out on our 1st family camping trip my kids looked at me like i was insane when i said it was a toaster. then i made toast now they think it is awsome. it even works on a charcoal grill, that is if you dont mind mesquite flavored toast..it will always be an essential part of my camping gear..it also works for other foods besides toast but i'll let you have the fun of figuring those out.good luck and happy camping
So-so toaster
While this is a very affordable item that has been around for a long time, I am not sure this camping stove toaster is worth the weight of weight of packing. The toast it makes is just so-so. It is hard to get a nice crisp texture without overdoing it and making it hard. I also do not like the taste of fuel that carries to the bread. To me, a better low cost method is to quickly toast the pan flat in a frying pan I already take anyway, with a bit of butter or bacon grease. And it has a taste that my family loves. I love camping gadgets, including many from the great Coghlan's company that makes this toaster, but this one just doesn't seem worth the trouble for me.
