Anyone really like the camping stove they use for roasting?

Discuss roast levels and profiles for espresso, equipment for roasting coffee.

As the title states, would you highly recommend the camping stove you use for your roaster? Or on the flipside, has yours given you problems? Looking on Amazon there doesnt seem to be much that separates one from another...

Also: propane or butane?

sidenote: Mr Li's Huky stove seems excellent, but I am not willing to pay the shipping for ONLY the stove

I actually don't like it, the flame is not consistent as the gas canister cools down too much during use. It delivers enough heat but adjusting the heat is a pain, that said..the thing was dirt cheap and we already had it. When I build my roaster I plan on using larger propane tanks and a proper pressure regulator and flow regulator.

My Coleman Powerpack works pretty well with the Roastbee.
