Coleman Cascade 222 2-Burner Camping Stove, 22,000 BTUs, Wind Guards

For campers who want to prepare more than a simple one-pot meal, the Coleman Cascade 222 provides two adjustable burners in a portable propane stove. Its combined cooking power is 22,000 BTUs, and the cooktop fits 10-inch and 12-inch pans.

Rotary ignition lights the burners without matches, while the adjustable knobs are designed to make heat and simmer control easier. Two wind guards help shield the flames while you cook outdoors.

The stove has a recessed carry handle, a storage space for its regulator, and a latch that keeps it closed during transport. What matters more for your setup: having two burners or packing the lightest possible cooking arrangement?

Best use cases

This stove suits campsite meals where you want to heat food in one pan while preparing another dish in a second. The two independently adjustable burners allow different heat settings, which is useful when a meal involves both cooking and keeping something at a simmer. Its stated fit for 10-inch and 12-inch pans gives you a practical guide when choosing cookware to bring.

It can also work for outdoor gatherings where a portable cooktop is more useful than cooking everything over a campfire. The wind guards offer some shielding around the burners, though the product description does not claim that they eliminate the effects of wind. For a more compact, single-burner setup, that simpler approach may be preferable when cooking needs are minimal.

Pros

Two burners make it possible to work with separate pans, and the improved knob rotation is intended to support more precise heat adjustment. The removable chrome-plated pan support and aluminized steel cooktop are designed to make cleanup more straightforward after cooking. The recessed handle, regulator storage space, and heavy-duty latch also address the practical details of carrying and packing the stove.

Buyer feedback is positive about the stove’s function and heat controls, with some customers saying they value the adjustment range. Comments on build quality and reliability are mixed: some describe the stove as solid, while others report that the lid hinge does not hold the top up or that the spark igniter stops working. Those reported experiences are worth weighing if matchless lighting is a key reason for choosing this model.

Key points

The Cascade 222 runs on propane and produces 22,000 BTUs of total cooking power. The listed burn time is up to one hour on high with one 16 oz. propane cylinder, the cylinder is sold separately. That figure applies to high heat, so it should not be treated as a general estimate for every cooking setting or trip.

Its listed dimensions are 22"L x 13.2"W x 3.7"H, and the cooktop is made of aluminized steel. The pan support is chrome-plated and removable. A cast-iron grill or griddle accessory is compatible but not included, so this is the standard two-burner stove rather than a package with that cooking accessory. The rotary igniter is designed for matchless lighting, but buyer reports about igniter reliability are not uniform.

When it makes sense

A solid pick if you want a portable propane stove with two adjustable burners, room for 10-inch and 12-inch pans, and wind guards for outdoor cooking. It may suit a campsite routine that involves a fuller meal, especially when having two cooking surfaces is more useful than keeping gear as minimal as possible.

It might not be a great match if your priority is a one-burner setup or if you need a stove that includes a grill or griddle accessory, neither is what this product description offers. Factor in the separately sold propane cylinder, too. The choice comes down to whether the added cooking flexibility of two burners is worth bringing a larger cooktop for your particular outings.
