As I mentioned above, I have a Max Burton stove like John G’s and it’s fine for a large frying pan or boiling pasta in a pot. But my real go to is my single burner Coleman Duel Fuel stove. Anybody who’s gone camping is familiar with the green two burner stove. These are so simple and we’re so well-built that there are still duel fuel Coleman stoves around from the 60s. Here’s a thread on them [url=“https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/diff-in-coleman-dual-fuel-stoves.83714/”]here[/url].
My single burner stove from the 90s works just as well now as it did back then. Starts quickly, heats well, can handle small pots like a 6 cup coffee pot, is adjustable from 0 to 100% and never flares up. I had a slight leak in the valve but once I replaced the O ring was back in business. I can store a small bottle of white gas in the fuel locker with enough gas to last several weeks.
Not cheap at $60-75 depending on where you shop, but it’s so worth it!

I still have my parents dual burner Coleman stove they purchased in the late '40's or early 50's. Have a couple of the original coleman lanterns as well.

Last time I tried using both they still worked fine.

Reason for removing the Rainbow was simple for us: the Admiral hated it. Replaced with a single-burner butane stove, a Coleman. A well-functioning galley makes for a happy Admiral *grin*.
