Mark and Leslie...The Coleman heats a kettle of water MUCH faster. But the biggest reason is Maryanne and I don't eat like backpackers when we camp with the T@B. We eat luxuriously. We bring our best cookware from home and are the envy of the campground when people see what we're eating. All this requires that both burners are available for food.

Always have one in the back of the pick-up anyway, along with emergency food and first-aid supplies ...so that's an option for us too - - but why go to that extreme if you have a 2 burner cooktop in the T@B ? Just sayin'

This is pretty much dedicated to heating water, since my wife is a gourmet cook and wants to keep the T@B stove available for meal prep. I think the Coleman single-burner puts out a LOT more btu than the built-in stove, so it heats up water VERY fast.
