Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Coleman stove...

I have four Coleman stoves, 1 is a 2 burner propane used primarily in the GN horse trailer. Not messing w liquid fuel there.

The other three are white gas. One is the “ big” 2 burner, called the 2 burner deluxe. It’s wider and has extra room for bigger pans. Now, it’s mostly relegated to being the water heater for scalding chickens.

The other I recently inherited from my late neighbor and hunting pard. It’s a standard 2 burner the fits nicely in hard panniers.

Third is a Peak 1 like discussed in another thread.


Occasionally the white gas will gum up and want to flare a little. The quick fix is to empty the tank and put in fresh gas w Seafoam. Light it, run it on high until it runs dry.

just picked the more compact version, little junkie, so I'll keep looking for something cleaner.

My first Coleman was a 3 burner I from Gibsons Discount in1965 when I lived in Albuquerque. I still use it, propane converter on it.I also have a two burner for when I packed into to the back country with my mules.

Just looked at the one i got. The seller lied and said it was 20 yrs old, she was only off by 16 yrs...LOL think it will work, though. Still I'd like a cleaner one, or two

Been using them for years. The last couple I've had are the propane model as they are much more reliable IMO.

i like the nostalgia...worst case scenario i have to run to the nearest McDonalds

I think so. Bought this one a few months ago.

they have a HUGE and I mean HUGE warehouse / Distribution building in Gardner KS just south of Olathe.

I’ve seen smaller GM plants.

those are neat, too. i recently opted for the peak one version, amazing the heat it puts out.

Nice.

Mine is the older version - Peak1. I think it’s only white gas, but that’s all I’d use anyway. The case for my Peak1 is a plastic Folgers coffee can. Works great.

to avoid confusion...

This is the kind of peak one i'm referring to

I have had a few ..even found a monster 1952f ..in the woods rebuilt a used for years and kept it in out cabin ..cabin burned. No more cool azz stove. Used the regular 2 burner ones for years ..till a guy saz why u still using white gas...da..I said it burns in really cold weather, pass 30 below! ..then the big ? Came ...how many times do u fire up your stove at 30 below...da...I have 4 propane one now...da.....lol

Gave away my gas stove and lanterns. Now I use a little one burner butane stove. My days of big meals out camping are over. Mostly heat a can of soup or boil water for a Mountain House meal.
