I have the gool 'ol fashioned Coleman 424 duel fuel stove.  Simple to operate, very compact, works well, but maybe not for the gourmet.  It will hold a steady flame at different levels but you have to stay on top of it.  I bought it for Y2K.... reasoning that it would work on unleaded gas when I ran out of Coleman fuel....so it's good for a survival mentality.
  Great value for the money too.

I want to purchase a good camp stove.

Objectives:

- Two Burners
- Burners need to have good adjustment capability from slow simmer to full
flame.
- At least one burner to be a minimum of 11K BTU output
- All weather temp and altitude up to 12,000 ft, capable
- Fairly Compact ... Not interested in super large free standing "Camp Chef"
or "Rocky Mountain Range" types.
- Fuel type doesn't matter (Propane or White Gas OK)

Seems the hardest objective is the burner adjustment capability.

Although all stove claim to be fully adjustable, very few seem to hold a
steady flame at the low end.

Here's the stoves I'm currently looking at.

Are there others I should consider?

Please share your experiences and recommendations.

I'll summarize and publish the results.
