What kind of Campstove do you have?

[coleman kayak1]

I'll start- I have a (newly restored) 1972 Coleman 425 white gas stove. Dual Burner, not the best, but never leaves me without a stove. I like that the tank stores in the stove, so it is all in one package for transport. <br />I also have a wisperlite backpakers stove.

Still have an early 60's Coleman somewhere in the garage.<br />But use a modern propane Coleman hooked up to the 20# tank.<br />Or an open fire with a tripod for a grill.

Re: What kind of Campstove do you have?

I prefer an open fire but I do have a coleman single burner stove that screws on top of a small lp tank that I use for my coffee while I'm getting the fire going. I also Have an old 2 burner coleman with the pump up tank but never take it.

Re: What kind of Campstove do you have?

In some parts of the country, a wood burning fire isn't an option in the mountains. So, I have a two burner LP coleman for use when I drive in, and I have built a half dozen or so of the soda-can stoves for use with denatured alcohol. My design was a little different that the one linked above, the holes were in the sides of the can and not in the rolled bottom pan, this sends the flame in a larger circle so the food in the center of the pan doesn't burn.

I like the open fire method,but use a small sunbeam LP BBQ grill also.<br />I was thinking about making one of these.<br /> http://www.thru-hiker.com/workshop.asp?subcat=2&cid=9

I have a Coleman two burner stove from the 80's, a small gas bar-b-que and one of those gas distubution systems that allows me to run both off one 20# tank. It also has a place on top for a lantern about 4' high. With a small table it makes a nice kitchen. We use the fire to cook when we can but about 1/2 the time thourgh out the summer fires are restricted.

Fire good! But sometimes you want to take the women camping, and they want things like, well, stoves.<br /><br />We're using a 2-burner propane stove and a single propane burner - I'd prefer the coleman fuel stoves, though, cause it's hard to tell if you've got enough propane to finish the meal.<br /><br />I do have a red coleman single mantle lantern from the 1940's, brighter than the 1980's model 2-mantle version.

Re: What kind of Campstove do you have?

Just to clarify, I use my coleman when "car-camping" and my whisperlite when I am backpacking

Re: What kind of Campstove do you have?

I've been thinking about getting one of these:<br /> http://www.coleman.com/coleman/colemancom/detail.asp?product_id=533A700G&categoryid=2020 <br /><br />Do you guys think it would work on 40:1 gas/oil mix? Always have TONS of it around when I'm camping. Plus gasoline is still about the least expensive source of BTUs you can buy...

Re: What kind of Campstove do you have?

zmoz, got a buddy with one of those, it works fine, but you're kidding about the premix, right? don't ya think it would smoke like crazy? If it didn't clog up the generator?<br /><br />Oh I get it...combo insect fogger/stove...
