Hi Larry,

Because we have a Wolfsburg Westy (hence no Westy stove), we use a coleman
2-burner propane stove with electric ignition and it's worked flawlessly for
four years now.  I like the ignition--no need to mess around with matches or
lighters, which was the case with my old coleman.

It's compact, durable, and has cooked many delicious camp meals....

Joe T.
