Jim, As you may recall, I have a Coleman Xtreme, which I bought after using yours on our trip. Mine is the single burner, slightly lighter model.

The Colemans are good stoves, no doubt. They are easy to use and pretty foolproof.

However, Altadude wanted a stove that would burn kerosene to melt snow for a lot of people. The XGK fits that description quite well.

The advantage I see for the XGK or any other liquid fuel stove over a canister stove of any kind in that situation is that you only need to carry one fuel bottle and pump plus a gallon of fuel in one container and that should last a long time.

I guess the question is how a Coleman cartridge equals how much liquid fuel and I don't know the answer to that one.

Jim, also, don't you have the MSR heat sink thingie that wraps around a pot?

It looks like Coleman has already discontinued the single burner Xtreme stoves. They are now selling a pair of really expensive multifuel stoves. They do have this goofy adapter for regular canisters, but it looks heavy and clumsy.
