- This is the HyperFlame FyreCadet Camping Stove
from Coleman.
A nice hot burner with a nice sleek profile,
easy to pack in your car.
Let's check it out.
- [Announcer] Hit it. (upbeat music)
Ben from Snowys here's folks with
another stove in the HyperFlame range
from Coleman, this is the FyreCadet Stove.
It's a nice sleek sort of version
of the stove with these really hot burners.
As this guy has 11,000,
about 11 1/2 thousand BTU per burner,
22,000 BTU total for the stove here.
And it's a really good option for
boiling water really quickly.
Simmer we'll have a look shortly,
but there's a fine line with the simmer on these guys,
but it is possible.
And when you buy the stove obviously,
you get the stove here.
Now, if you excuse this stove,
is looking a little bit better,
it's had a good life on the shop floor,
but you get the stove as it is here with the lid attached.
Now you also get a regulator.
Now this regulator must be used with the stove
at all times.
You can use a few different gas bottles with this,
which I'll go into shortly.
No matter what gas bottle you use,
you must have this in the system.
Given that this has to be in the system,
also means you can't attach this to a regulated gas supply
in a caravan system, you needs to come from
an unregulated gas supply into this regulator here.
Now this screws in the side of the stove here
and just hangs out the side.
Once you've got this attached,
you've then got the option of,
two different gas bottles stoves.
You can use these disposable propane cylinders here,
which will screw into the...
Into the regulator here.
If we take the cap off of this,
can't get it off at the moment,
but that was screw into there.
And just sits on the side of the stove,
but that's to give a nice, lightweight option for...
For our camp setup.
Alternatively, you do get one of these hoses
with your stove here.
Now this is a hose with a BOM fitting on one end here,
that fits into the regulator here.
And then the other end is a 3/8 BSP fitting,
which we can then attach to a standard gas bottle like this
with a 3/8 BSP opening on top.
Alternatively, you can get different hoses
that have the BOM fitting and also goes to a POL fitting
to allow us to attach to the large
nine cylinder gas bottles like this guy here.
So perfectly viable to run this stove
off of both these bottles
and the disposable 450 gramme cylinders here.
And before I fire it up and show you how hot it is
or how easy it is to light.
I just wanna run through
some of the features of the stove.
So, close it up here, I wanna talk about dimensions.
Now, when it's closed up like this,
measures 60 centimetres in length,
about 38 centimetres in depth
from the outside of the handle here
to the back of the bracket, at the back of the stove here
and around about 13 centimetres in height.
There's a nice little latch on the front here
that just unclips and slides down and out of the way,
it attaches to that, lid opens up.
And when it's opened up like this,
the sort of space you'd need to fit it into,
measures around about, well 60 centimetres in length still.
It's about 45 centimetres in depth from the handle here
to sort of where the top of the lid finishes here.
So that's the sort of space you want,
you do have a little bit of flexibility there.
And heightwise, it's about 39 centimetres
from the base of the foot here,
to the top of where the lid opens up on the top here.
And weightwise, its just under seven kilos,
so not the lightest stove in the market,
but it's certainly perfectly...
It's a good weight for the versatility you get
with a stove like this.
I just open the stove up again
and do a bit of a tour around.
Now there is something missing from this stove
and its hard life its had on the shop floor,
it's missing the little support stand
that's usually riveted into here.
It's a little metal stand that hooks into here
and just gives this lid a little bit of extra support there.
But the lid itself does stand very upright
without the need for that,
they're oversized brackets on the side.
So you can see this thing creates a windshield at the back,
but what's missing on this stove,
are the traditional windshields that we would normally see
on each side here.
Which is not an emission, Coleman have thought about that
and that's accounted for, with these sort of...
It's both a stove stand and a windshield here.
So if you look around the side here,
we can see there are panels here that allow breathability,
but they also cut the wind down.
And when this sits over the top here,
it protects the flame inside here.
And it serves both as the pot stand and the windbreak,
and what that allows is extra large pots
to be used on top of the stove.
You can see this can,
the handle can come at the side here if I like,
or if I've got two large stoves,
this can either hang the side here
and I'm not impeded by the actual windshields
that seat on the side of the stoves.
So by using these, I'm gonna..
Admitted the need for those shelters,
they're certainly not impeded by having to use smaller pots,
particularly if you're cooking for bigger groups.
We'll keep having a bit of a look around.
You can see there's two burners on top of here,
they're very unique to these HyperFlame Stoves.
They're quite large burners, about 11 1/2 BTU each
as I mentioned previously or 22,000 BTU total
in the stove here, surrounded by the pot support there
and a steel drip tray that features throughout here,
nice and easy to clean.
Move around to the front of the stove.
We can see we've got the piezo igniter here,
so we don't need a matches or anything to light this.
There's a dial here and on the other side as well,
another dial here for each of the burners
and in between there, the latch to secure the stove,
that's all metal latch there and a handle at the front here.
Now this handle doesn't fold,
it's a rigid handle that always sticks out.
And just for the sake of it,
we'll show you the bottom
so that you can see what it looks like here.
And this is all a metal base here as well
and they're plastic feet on the corners here.
These are attached when you buy it,
you can't actually remove these feet here.
And there's this sort of void here,
which kinda almost looks like a battery pack
and it took us a little while to work out
exactly what it was for, but when you buy the stove,
the regulator comes stored in it like this.
So when you pack it away in your car,
you can pack the regulator in the base of the stove
like that as well.
One last thing I wanna show you on the outside,
before we fire things up is just,
how the latch on the front here.
This is a...
This is all metal with this latch here
and you've got this section here, that's on the lid.
And that kinda works with a little clip in the
back of the latch here,
you pull that up, push it over the top of the lid there,
it doesn't leave back down...
Sort of leave it back down again
and that locks the lid closed.
So that's covered up on the features of the stove.
What I wanna do now is connect it up and fire it up for you
so you can see how the flame looks
and we'll also see how low we can get the simmer.
'Cause a big question on this stove is,
how well does it simmer?
So I'm gonna attach a regulator in the side here again.
Now when you're attaching all these gas fittings,
always important to make sure
you don't have any leaks in any of the connections.
Another important point,
we are lighting this inside here today,
we're in a big space,
but it's really important not to use LPG products
in confined spaces.
Make sure you've got ventilation,
so that you're clearing the byproducts of burning the gas.
Now I've attached this on here,
ideally what I would do is use a spanner
just to firm in that up and also use soapy water
for all the connections.
So I'm gonna attach the hose
into the regulator here as well and do it up,
once I've got all these connected up,
I would wanna grab some soapy water or at least turn it on
and make sure I can't smell or hear any gas leaking,
before we light anything or play with any flames.
So I've now got the hose connected to the regulator,
which as we said, always needs to be in the system.
Let's go into this hose here,
because I'm going to use an LPG cylinder like this guy here.
This is a 3/8 BSB fitting on the top there.
I'm gonna screw this onto here.
It's an opposite thread and this is about a 1.5 metre hose
that you get with the stove here.
We've got that done up firmly there,
I've got it done up here firmly.
I've got it done up in here firmly.
I would test this with soapy water to make sure there's no,
no leaks, no bubbles coming up.
I'm gonna turn it on now,
make sure I can't hear or smell any gas.
I think we're pretty good, and we're ready to light.
So we're coming into the front of the stove here now.
Now we need to use a combination of both the piezo
at this end here,
so I'll have one hand ready to go up here,
so we light it as soon as we turn the gas on.
We'll have a look at the dial on this side here,
we've got a white dot at one end
and a flame at the other end,
turning it towards the flame is turning the gas on.
As soon as we turn this around,
we'll hear the gas start to hiss,
we'll wanna press our piezo igniter straight away.
So we'll get going
and we're lit.
So that was only probably 1/6 of a turn
or a 1/5 of a turn there to get that going.
If I turn that right around,
I can hear it roar a little bit more
and this actually keeps going right around,
but it doesn't get any hotter,
I can't hear it getting any hotter.
So you don't need to keep turning it right around.
You can literally work within the parameters
of the little diagram here.
So you can see that's our full-bore there,
so about 11 1/2 thousand BTU coming out of that
or radiating from that burner there at the moment.
And what I wanna do is turn it back
to show you how it might simmer.
So I'm just gonna carefully turn it back,
'cause there's not a lot of difference between
off and full-bore with this stove,
so I'm just gonna keep turning it back.
You can see it's getting red hot in there at the moment.
I'm gonna keep turning, keep turning, oh, there we go.
Now it's just started to die down a little,
I'll keep turning it back, so that's going right back.
There's still heat coming out of that now, it's just on.
And I'd say that's...
There's a fine adjustment between full-bore and simmer,
but that's almost off there at the moment.
I can feel...
I can put my hands this close,
and get a little bit of warmth out,
wouldn't be able to do that if it was on full-bore.
And then between a low simmer like that and off
is barely a couple of millimetres of turn.
So you can certainly get the heat down low,
you just don't have a large area of adjustment
to get the heat down low.
That's pretty much all the features of the stove.
And I do just wanna show you that,
the ability for it, obviously to cook really fast,
it's a hot stove when it's turned up high
and you can simmer, but it's just a really fine adjustment
between off and full-bore.
Covering off on a couple of other things,
just accessories that can get with a stove.
If you remove this windshield here,
one of these windshields here,
you can use one of these guys here,
which is a griddle plate,
you can see you've got a griddle on top
and a bit of a drip tray underneath there.
They sit on top of here,
they fit better one way or the other,
so, there you go so, that just sits in there.
The burner sits within that little, little hole there.
And then this sits on top, allows the fat
and things to drip through
and you've got a grill plate on there.
Furthermore, there is a carry bag
for the HyperFlame Stove range,
which is quite a good carry bag.
It's padded on the sides here,
nice big carry handles and little loops on the side,
that allow you to attach these.
I don't know how much I trust that,
but you can carry little gas bottles
on the side there as well if you like.
It's pretty much all the features and accessories
of the HyperFlame FyreCadet Stove from Coleman.
It's...
And note, the sort of the balance is probably performance
and weight and also cooking its space really well.
And it is a good setup for pretty much
for any family camping setup,
any family came from kit I would say.
