Coleman 1900 Collection 3-in-1 Propane Stove (Black) review

The black Coleman 1900 Collection 3-in-1 Propane Stove is listed as model 5484, SKU 2158860. Its product page describes two adjustable burners, rotary ignition, a 10-inch and 12-inch pan arrangement, cast-iron grill and griddle pieces, and two wind guards. It is a substantial camp kitchen for vehicle-based cooking rather than a burner to carry far from a car. This is a source-based assessment, not a hands-on trial.

Two burners and a fixed 10-inch / 12-inch layout

The model has two cooking positions, so it can support a pot and a second pan at the same time. Coleman’s page lists one 10-inch pot and one 12-inch pot; this paired layout is more useful than assuming that “two-burner” means two unrestricted large pans. Pan rims, handles and total load still matter. Check the actual cookware and the stove’s manual for clearance before planning a tight side-by-side arrangement.

The page describes temperature adjustment at two burners, but it does not give a low-flame test or show how evenly a sauce can be held. The matching CM5484 instructions list 12,000 BTU/h per burner. The product page’s narrative states 24,000 total BTU/h, while its specification table lists 20,000. The model-specific product evidence is therefore internally inconsistent even though the manual’s per-burner input implies 24,000 combined. Treat the discrepancy as a verification point on the exact listing, not as an opportunity to claim a performance result.

Grill and griddle pieces change the package

The 1900 Collection listing identifies removable cast-iron grates, a cast-iron grill plate, a cast-iron griddle plate and two wind guards. That combination makes the package more versatile than a bare two-burner stove, but it also means the buyer should account for bulky, heavy pieces and cleaning after cooking. The product description mentions a carry case, while the itemized included-parts list does not specify the case or what it holds. Confirm the actual box contents rather than treating a photograph or a general carry-case sentence as a full package inventory.

This black-and-gold version shares Coleman’s model number 5484 with the green Cascade 3-in-1 SKU 2157356, but the products are not collapsed into one interchangeable retail listing. The exact 1900 page gives its own weight, output conflict and package wording. The Cascade 3-in-1 page separately lists a nylon case for the accessory plates and consistently states 24,000 total BTU/h. The shared model number supports use of the CM5484 instructions; it does not prove that every accessory or listing specification is identical.

Fuel, clearances and wind protection

The 2023 Coleman CM5484 Series instructions match the page’s model number and specify a pressure-regulated propane system with the 5430 regulator. They call for a 16-ounce disposable propane cylinder, and separately permit a refillable cylinder up to 20 pounds only with Coleman’s model 5475 propane adaptor and hose. Those are distinct operating arrangements; do not improvise a different hose or combine the two fuel setups. The manual also requires outdoor use, a sturdy level surface, 12 inches of side clearance and 48 inches above combustible material. It describes leak checks and warns against operating with an inverted cylinder.

The page lists two wind guards, and the instructions show those built-in guards. Neither fact establishes that an additional external screen is approved. Keep that permission unknown rather than using foil or a separate wrap by analogy with another stove. Fuel is separate, and the optional 5475 hose/adaptor and refillable cylinder are not listed as package contents.

Weight and trip fit

Coleman lists 26.18 pounds, but does not say whether that is a stove-only, packed or fueled figure. It is not comparable to a bare-burner minimum, so the weight finder leaves it unknown rather than making a unit conversion look more precise than the source allows. The page also gives “grill dimensions” of 8.25 by 25.75 by 15.25 inches; it does not define those as a packed case measurement. Measure the storage space you actually have and verify whether a carrying case is part of the exact offer.

The 1900 Collection makes sense when two burners and the included grilling pieces are central to a car-camping menu, and a 12-inch pan position matches your cookware. It is a poor match for backpacking, a required MSR threaded canister system, a strict bare-stove weight cap, or a must-have for a documented separate windscreen. Check the exact SKU 2158860, current CM5484 manual, fuel connection, itemized accessory package, listed output discrepancy and pan dimensions before purchase.
