    The last Coleman related regret I had was passing up a 3 burner suitcase in a yard sale for $5.00. I told myself I could just use 2- two burner stoves. Since then I wish I had bought it. The moral to the story? Buy it if you see it!

    I only use MSR Bottles on the MSR Stoves. I don't trust some of my older Sigg bottles, except as fuel carriers.
    I have had a couple Lindal valve remote burners and Lindal valve/Coleman neck converters 'jam' [?] or not flow gas after trying to hook them up. Since there's nothing to disassemble and look at they go into a WTF pile.

    MSR did come out later with connectors that worked with Lindal valve butane cannisters, but not shelling out $200 to play.

    I had a three burner, they are nice to have overkill unless you have more campers.
    Big game hunting groups like them for base camp week long outings.
    They do take up some real estate.
    Sold it for $100.00 to a local Deer/elk hunter here in New Mexico before we moved to a smaller house.
    Don't see many around.
