going on 3rd season with this combo, used at least 20 times and it has never failed me.  lights reliably even in light wind.   grill side stays hotter on the right (nearer the valve) and cooler on the left but I just rotate food and keep an eye on it.  burner is good for small to medium sized pot.  ability to adjust flame at lower settings could be better but I've never found a propane grill that I think is adjustable enough.  decently durable - this thing ain't going up Everest or anything but for the casual car camper or RV'er who wants to cook outside it is light, portable, and a good middle range grill.   the drip tray has fallen out when carrying, which is bothersome, but not a deal breaker.   Coleman makes good, mid-range stuff, set your expectations accordingly.  No idea how the other stoves melted but I've not had it on high for hours at a time.   Recommended, with proper expectations.
