I've been using these stoves for 30 years. Love them! Greetings from the US!

[martinkuhn]

My favourite stove as well. Dependable, great temperature control, lightweight (albeit a little voluminous). Been using one for over 20 yrs. Funnel also incorporates a filter.

Coleman Dual-Fuel Stoves are the best on the market, and with a simple adapter, can run propane as well. I'll admit, they're a little temperamental at times, and will often give you an attitude while warming up, but there is no replacing the enjoyment from using one. I own three, and my main cooker is from 1977. Still works like new. All the spare parts are readily available & inexpensive here in the US.

That was a really good video! I have 2 of these Coleman's. No, they don't burn as hot or cook as fast as some of the other stoves. But, there is just something to them. You either prefer them or you don't. My 2 burner I got from my grandfather when I was 15. He bought it in 1972. 43 years later, I'm still using it. I mainly use it when I'm winter tent camping out of my truck. Tailgate works great as a table for it. I also have one that I bought back in my mid 20's at a yard sale for $30, that's a 3 burner. For the last about 25 or 30 years I've had 2 campers and now a travel trailer and that's where I keep the 3 burner. I do big breakfasts and it's nice to have that 3rd burner.
TIP for lighting them. Put about 2 cap fulls of fuel right in the center of the burner after you put the tank on. Light that fuel and let it heat up the tube some before you open the valve and lighting it. It helps to keep the inside and the tip of the tube a litter cleaner. Preheat it.

Dual fuel is the best.

Have ditched all my old LPG stoves and gone completely dual fuel - even using my lanterns (hate LED light).

In the high country, dual fuel kills LGP in terms of heat output.

An interesting alternative is two single burner Coleman 533s set up under a stand. That way you have essentially the same output, same fuel source (and operating system), but independent heat control and can be spaced further apart to better deal with pan sizes etc. Just need to make a wind break and Bob's ya uncle.

I just ordered one because this type of Coleman stove was the best thing available when I was a kid in America and I’m 63 now! Plus, I hate having to depend on propane bottles when I can take fuel out of my vehicle in a pinch. Looking forward to getting it. Thanks for sharing, mate!😊

[Kingnome]

I had this same stove for 4 years. I use it about 12-16 times a year for camping in Alaska. I love. It would be my emergency stove If need be.

[stillwater]

That was a top-notch demonstration and very well explained. Thank you so much for taking the time and going to the trouble of educating the viewers. I will be purchasing this stove in a couple of days. Thanks again and stay safe.

[bladeduffer]

Great video! I converted to white gas stoves about 11years ago and haven't regretted doing so. My ultralight backpacking stove is a supremely powerful Soto Muka which I'm convinced burns as hot as the sun.😉 My other backpacking stove that I mostly use car camping is a Coleman Naphtha 533. My main "big" stove is the 424 and love every single one of them. No matter how long they sit around they light up every time. Cherrs!

[solardiyhobbyandrevies]

I love these stoves and just picked up a 1979 425e duel burner that was just lit and tested by the owner, it is brand new almost. Also bought a Chinese knock of single burner for $37.00 and it works real good also. It sounds like you are on the airport flight line with a jet plan next to you but I like it. Plus I love the reaction of campers next to me in the morning.

[granitesand]

The little lever when up actually is letting in a combination of fuel and air mixed from inside the tank. This helps vaporize the fuel when cold. When you put the lever down after warm, it’s actually going to 100% fuel flow from the tank. At this point you should pump again, since you used a lot of your pumped air during the start.

[chrisfisher]

I bought 2 coleman 533 dual fuel stoves and a oztrail grill stand, I place the two 533 under the grill and use that to place the pans etc works well, and I fit my entire kitchen into 32l plastic tub and love not carrying gas.

[brucewmclaughlin]

great demonstration.
I just bought a model 431 for 20.00 Canadian and the after washing it out with brake clean i bought a liter of Coleman fuel for 22 bucks ! My new to me stove is 42 years old and has obviously been dropped a lot. but is working wonderfully. So I went to the Coleman forums and I see that I can use white gas, unleaded gas currently 1.76 a liter, and kerosene 3.78 liters for 18.00 with the caveat that it needs cleaning a bit more.

The lever is not a choke, pointing up in the start position it allows flammable vapour from the top of the tank to flow through to light and preheat generator. Flipped down after preheat allows liquid fuel through from bottom of tank. In the up position burning vapour it loses pressure quickly, that’s why you need to pump a few more times. Cheers

Pair these with a 2-sided griddle, and you got a set-up anywhere grill and griddle. Take the kids to the park and hamburgers and hotdogs until they pop. Makes family outings way easier. I use a 426D (3 burner) I got second-hand and rebuit. Keep them clean and maintained about once a year, and you'll be handing these things down to your grandkids.

[lucamolinari]

Great video, clear and helpful. Providing the necessary information. Thank you!

[peterthomson]

Agree-great stove....I've had one (not the same one) for 35 years I reckon

[mikemorgan]

The lighting lever is actually the opposite of a choke. It won't burn extra fuel. It will deplete extra air, and pretty fast. Turn it down as soon as it's warmed up(or 1 minute after lighting)

The key to clean, safe, flare free, eyebrow conserving running with these it to FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS printed on the lid EXACTLY as they are written. It SAYS to QUICKLY open the valve at least 2 full turns FOR A REASON. If you FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS printed on the lid, you WON"T have yellow flames hardly at all, and the stove will be ready to cook faster without the black soot you have on your grate and pots.

If anyone wants the reason or a detailed explanation of the operation of the instant lighting theory of operation, let me know.

For now, suffice to say that plenty of pressure and high flow rate are your friends. Use them.

QUICKLY opening the valve at least 2 full revolutions achieves adequate flow for good fuel atomization so you don't flood the generator with liquid fuel.

Pro tip: Older stoves called for wide open, but 2 revs is usually plenty. Wide open meets the "at least 2 full turns" requirement.

Lots of pressure means high velocity air pick up and atomizes the fuel better. This is why the INSTRUCTIONS ON THE LID tell you to pump approximately 35 full strokes.

Pro tips: This assumes a full tank of fuel. If there is less fuel in the tank pump it more. You cannot over pressurize these tanks with the built in pump. The pump will produce about 40psi max. The tanks are built to withstand 500 psi. Older manuals tell you to start pumping additional pressure as soon as it lights to maintain good pressure during generator warm up. This still works on these as well.

Low pressure and partially opened valves lead to generator flooding, yellow flames, soot, and much longer warm up times. You should be able to be fully warmed up and ready to cook in a minute or less.

FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS and see what you think. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised. Then with practice, you can develop a feel for how it works.

Pro tip: Watch the flame during the warm up process. At some point the blue flames will start pulsing and dancing away from the burner rings. This is when the generator is hot, generating gas, and ready to cook. It's usually way less than a full minute but go with the instructions if you don't want to experiment.

Turn the lighting lever down and enjoy.

Add pressure when you notice the flame getting weaker as needed.

Pro tip: To shut down, older manuals called for turning the lighting lever up again and letting it burn for a minute or when the flames started jumping off the burner indicating a lean condition before closing the main valve. This purges the generator of most of the liquid fuel so it didn't continue to leak out of the gas tip in transport or storage.

I hope someone finds this useful.

[redoak]

I have one of these. In the US they are the model 414.

[recluse]

I switched to using one of these stoves about a year ago and I do not regret it. It works really well, simple design, rugged, spare parts available. Butane stoves do not work well in the cold weather and LPG gas bottle refills are becoming more difficult to find once you leave the city or larger towns. Also the problem with LPG gas bottles is that it's difficult to know how much gas is left in the bottle so you need to carry an extra bottle which is more weight and space taken up. Does anyone know of a good bag that will fit this stove as I think that may be it's only negative ?
