Dude!... I love Coleman camp stoves plus all Coleman product! But I NEVER KNEW I could use my Coleman Camp Stove with propane!!!! Wow!!! thanks for all your help Great Job!!!!
Absolutely brilliant! What a great idea, and video. I’m going to have to check this out. Pumping up the tank isn’t the biggest deal in the world, but still, being able to run everything off one tank and save money is awesome.
Wow this old dog just learned something new. Thanks a million for the info. 10👍🏻😎
I've never seen a propane tree before. That's an awesome tool, and I wish I'd know about them years ago. Thanks for sharing the info and ideas!
Thanks Joel! You answered every question I had. Seems simple enough. Take care.
Great informative video - answered all my questions on this stove! Thanks for posting!
this is immensely informative. . . I can't tell you how much I appreciate this.
I have never seen a Propane Tree, great instruction, Thanks for posting.
That was so cool demonstration video. I didn't & never know that Coleman stove can be able to use propane. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Keeping up great job.
i re-watched this because it's good! i got one of those propane converters for the 2 burner stove... works just great! i didn't even know about them until saw your video. i like options. i also want one of those propane distribution trees that goes on the BBQ bottle. thx!
Great video, propane is nice and clean. I use the propane option with a tree and lantern for normal camping, but the stove is also part of my emergency kit. I keep white gas for that because of its compact size and shelf life. Dual fuel is a great option. Thanks for sharing. Good stuff!!!
Great information. Thanks for sharing!
Dude, AWESOME VIDEO... great filming and good content... thanks a million
Those TREES are great!! For SHTF I have several tanks and about 40 small bottles for the stove and lanterns..
Great video! Thanks for posting!
this is good man, real good! thx!
Great video , explained very well, thanks
great video man. very well presented and explained. keep it up
Great great video. I love all the hose attachments. I'd love to no where you got all the hoses and attachments from.
Just found this. Great video
I should have bought a couple of these little propane bottles and a single burner stove for Hurricane Sandy tonight. I have enough non perishables that will last. It would have been nice to cook something in case the power went out. cool vid.
thank you thank you thank you... i didn't know you could use a regular propane little green tank with this. i got this stove from my brother in law... and i am going camping with the family on the 4th this year... and we are bringing this.. but i searched and searched.. and coujdlnt' find if i could use the propane bottle... so now i am more relaxed.. thank you again...
I'm on the hunt for the propane tank tree. Thanks!
talk about something new i have 2 of my dads coleman stoves like the one you have on the video but have not been use in some 30 years give or take an they been use a few times an that it an still in good shape an now seeing you video i would like to use propane in what you have show that's so cool to convert it to proplane i hope to later in time i will use them an have propane gas on them i would like to sent you a video an injoy these stoves again i will sent my friends your video link an let them see what you can do with the coleman stove like me they still have the little stoves just sitting there well thanks for this new info an i will let people know what you can do with a coleman stove they are not dead yet !!!!! thanks for shareing your info.
Thank you ...I found a stove in my dream today..no kidding thank you very much
That is very interesting. I have 2 of the old Coleman stoves.
Great info. I recently learned about that propane converter for the 2-burner stove. Search for Stansport propane converter, I found it at Walmart.com . I've been testing mine recently during MN weather down to -15°F. The stove lights right up instantly using the converter and a 1-pound propane canister. With the liquid gas tank, I often fiddle around for 5 minutes or more trying to get the thing heated up and burning. It's frankly awesome to have instant stove heat when want it in hunting camp for instance.
Going to use it for the first time this week.
This video was awsome
one word of caution on white gas conversion those, make sure your unit if you have a 3 burner unit is not setup for the small two burner units as the jet is not large enough to feed the older 3 burner units with all the burners going. i've had some luck with using an old empty generator tube on the body of those units, but the older unregulated units typically were made for the triple burner units off the gate. My alumimum 443 with 428 burners(there interchangable with no alteration) has no trouble heating a 16 inch dutch oven and 12 inch one, and since its gas tank is leaking air, this is a awesome setup as for as little as that thing weighs, it sure holds a lot of weight.
Nice video. Glad you did it so I didn't have to.
This was so helpful! I got an old Coleman 426D stove at a Habitat for what a What a great teacher you are! HowI love how you presented so many option. Keep up the good work-oh how do I know if I can use other fuels besides propane?us
What a great video ... precise and holistic ... could you tell me what brand that tank-tree is ?
Thank you, hank hill.
You're gonna love using that stove with a 20lb. propane tank!
good video but you might ask someone what the difference between male and female connectors is
I have an older Coleman stove that is larger that the one you have, I have looked for years to find a propane generator for my larger stove with no luck so far.
@blink618 I was just looking at a catalog I just received recently from Cabelas and they have an adapter that I believe will work. I am sure other stores would carry something similar . Thanks!
Theseasonorg explains the whole Bible God bless.
@1975DLR There are many brands. Just search for propane adapter for coleman gas stove.
Love the video, useful info, but why are so many posters insisting on mentioning the reverse thread connection, it's not like someone will take all day before figuring that out. Luckilly you don't sound like Hank Hill from that cartoon I can't remember, low and nasally and Texan. Lol, again, good video. Thanks.
Joel, I just inherited an old stove similar to yours. It has the 4 inch long adapter you have with a permanent attached hose with the other end set up with the Male external thread for a standard propane tank. I can't recall offhand if this is the new style or if it is even still the old style. Anyway, can I get an adapter for this end to hook to the small green propane tank. I need an adapter one end accept Male style propane thread and one end small green tank. Thanks.
I just got a propane tree, I'm planning on using it with one stove and one lamp. Do I have to do anything with the extra outlet? It has a little plastic cap, does that secure the propane or so I have to get some sort of adapter to make sure the gas doesn't come out from there?
what is the product adapter that is placed on a propane cannister in which you can use a butane stove used with propane/butane cannisters? Thnaks
what model this your coleman liquid fuel, looks like a 425 C but seems smaller. thank you
@ishotwapiti When you buy the adapter it is already to go. Your orifice is built into the adapter.
Hi - What brand of propane pole are you using. I like the design where it attaches to the handle of the tank, but I cannot find that online. Thank you
can you unscrew a little green propane tanks from the lanterns if they still have propane in them?
on the tree - if you don't use a port (one of the 3 holes) do you need a stop or plug?
where can i get the propane adapter to change my napth stove flue in canada
Hi don't you need a pressure regulator or just hook it and just open the valve , is not too much pressure for the burners.So no pressure regulator between the tank and the stove.Thank you.
I live in the UK where do I get the generator and the hose for the large propane bottle for the Coleman 425E? As I have just brought an old Coleman 425E from the US
Many thanks
Arthur
I have always used a propane stove, but it appears that the gas is much hotter. I believe I'm going to switch to fuel this year. Where can I purchase that propane generator that you showed? Do they simply come with the stoves, are they a Coleman option, or is it an after market option offered by a third party?
it looks like the top port on the propane tree could be used for the single burner stove too other than it may be top heavy and you would need to secure it better.
also you can refill the disposable bottles too
do plugs come with the tree if you don't need to use all those outlets at once ?
I've been looking for tabletop cook stove that the inside/outside is strong enough to hold a pressure canner, if the need arises. Would these hold 50# of weight, if not, do U know which models might?
The difference is not the tank, the difference is the generator itself. Also in the USA most liquid fuel stoves and lanterns will burn gasoline, in Canada, it is not recommended because the additives in the fuel are different. I have a Dual Fuel Lantern that I bought in the US and in the instructions it states not to use Canadian gasoline in it, because the additives will damage the unit.
I have a dual burner 12,000 BTU Century Tool camp stove. I have a hose that extends from the stove to a regulator which screws into a 5 gal. propane tank 3 port tree. A regulator that attaches to the tree is leaking gas around the diaphragm seal and must to be replaced. Any idea where I can get a reasonably priced regulator to retrofit? Century Tool wants $25 ($14 of that is shipping and handling). I can buy a new stove for $50-$75. So on one end of the regulator is a small propane tank female thread that attaches to the tree and the other end of the regulator hooks up to a standard extension hose like in this video which extends to the camp stove and is screwed into that port.
Can you tell me we're you bye the generator for propane.thanks
5/2021 COLEMAN FUEL IS ABOUT $16.99 A GALLON. GREAT VIDEO BTW
@cowboy112051 you need to have gray dual fuel tank for regular gasoline.
Will the red fule tank use auto gasoline, or must we have the gray tank?
Thanks
i need a answer on this one ...is it save to us this propane indoor during a power outage and all windows closed??? what if i put the stove in my firplace and open the vent will that help???
How long should a tank run?
what about the orifice size? would they be different when switching from kerosene to propane?
So is it fair to say that you can go from White fuel to propane and not the other way around?
Check with any RV Technision , you need a regulator to provide 11 inchs of water colume for each unregulated propane appliance ....
In my area a gallon of coleman fuel is now $12/gal.
1 gallon of coleman fuel = 6 lbs of propane. So it's still cheaper than the individual propane 1 lb cans.
You're right though. Here you can get 20lb of propane for around $12 so overall that's the cheapest option.
Cool video!
Thereal111t Add to that, white gas has an almost limitless shelf life. I run propane for normal camping, but to me its just good planning to keep a few gallons around just in case. When the propane runs out, you can still be cooking.
MrRayMac1963 To my shelf life question Coleman support sent me this message:
An un-opened container of Coleman® Fuel stored in a dry area with no rapid extreme changes in temperature will remain viable for five to seven years. An opened container stored in the same area will remain viable for up to two years though will be at its best if used within a year. Coleman® Propane Cylinders can be stored indefinitely in a dry area. The propane fuel inside the cylinder will not break down.
Wandering Wade I have seen white fuel much older then that used without problem. A buddy found a few sealed gallons his dad bought and stored in a shed on their farm. His dad passed over 15 years ago so he has no idea how old it actually is, but It burned flawlessly. If you have limited space to store emergency supplies, it works.
MrRayMac1963 Thanks for the reply. I saw this comment elsewhere:
"I have consistently used Coleman fuel that is at least 10 years old without problem. It may be slightly less volatile than new but it still works fine and doesn’t seem to clog my MSR or my old Optimus 111B stoves. After I open a new gallon container I immediately transfer extra fuel into several one liter Sigg fuel bottles and it lasts for many years this way. In other words, I do NOT store the fuel in the gallon container once it has been opened."
Where do you get the propane generator and what is the part number?
Great options! great vid!
Will the propane boost the BTU for faster water boil? I used the fuel and it had some kind of leak and the entire thing went up in flames. It had leaked fuel into the stove floor and it eventually got hot and took flame. So I'm done with the liquid fuel! But would like to know if I should ditch this for a higher BTU stove or will this get more than the 8500 or so BTU the fuel gives. You! with all the propane gadgets would know something like this :-) Cheers!
+UnknownHandle UnknownHandle You must not know how to run a liquid fuel stove. Put the little handle up until the stove is warmer up. You will never have that happen again.
Can you please rephrase " Put the little handle up until the stove is warmer up", obviously my logic is not based on the understanding of how this stove works. thanks. I read the manual and it has no explanation as to why any of the steps are done. If they added explanations, perhaps people would understand better. Who likes taking orders without logical reasoning behind it ?:-)
+UnknownHandle UnknownHandle With the lever up it lets air from the tank blend with the gas to form a vapor until the generator(tube above the burner) gets hot enough to vaporize the gas. Then you turn the lever down.
The btu or heat output with the propane conversion is very close to that of liquid fuel.
I own 4 Coleman stoves and about a dozen or so lanterns.
This guy knows his sh!t unlike a few other videos on stoves I have seen.
Coleman fuel or Crown camp fuel is more economical then propane in the 1 lb. bottles.
The 20 lb. propane tank is by far the most economical to use. You can buy an adapter to refill 1lb. tanks from 20 lb. tanks. 20 lb. tanks are good and economical but heavy and bulky. By refilling 1 lb. tanks you have economy and portability.
I don't recommend burning gasoline in duel fuel stoves/lanterns. Gasoline has benzene in it "a known carcinogen" and many have problems with it clogging generators. The propane converter made by Stansport works well. It will give the stove nearly identical heat "btu" output.
Lastly don't use these stoves indoors regardless of fuel type. They use up oxygen and generate carbon-monoxide gas, both can kill you!
I picked up a 425 Coleman, the man had used unleaded gas in the stove. The tank was nearly ruined with rust and the generator was clogged up. It took me 4 hours to get the rust out of the tank and I will have to replace the tank cap. It was ruined by gum and rust. Even though they claim Duel fuel I would strongly suggest using White Gas over Unleaded. Especially if you have to cook in doors. The clogging is just not worth using cheaper gas...Besides if the shit hit the fan gas is hard to get.
would there be a problem using one of these coleman stoves on a daily basis in a enclosed camper, as far as deadly fumes or exhaust gases, or is that what they are actually for.....or or they intended for just outdoor use, thank you!
+Hammer USN I use mine indoors all the time. You do need ventilation with fresh air and I highly recommend investing in a CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR / ALARM when using in any enclosed space.
Yes don't do it! They use up oxygen and emit carbon -monoxide gas either could kill you!
the outlets have a valve in them / they open up when you screw an appliance or hose into it / when you remove them the valve seals again
I also run a three-way refrigerator from the gas bottle 😎
You could say where to get the parts and part numbers
Hello sir: I'm sorry I do not know English so use translation software. What do you want to ask that connection coleman stove's "gas pipe" English name? I want to buy but because there is no proper name, so I can not find this product to trouble you, thank you.
Try this one. Stan Sport Propane Converter
Stansport propane converter
is it safe to leave tank screwed in after use
It is recommended to remove the tank for safety reasons. A tank left attached to an appliance has more potential leak passageways.
what ever happen to a camp fire and a flat rock for cooking food good vid
Do you need a regulator with the 20lb tank to the stove?
No regulator needed.
Go to your local auto paint supplier and buy some panel wipe. It is Naphtha. (white gas) PERFECT. Here in the UK it is £10.50 a gallon. About one twelth the price of Coleman fuel. Unleaded gas is not good.
We just got our tree pole
Personaly I prefer gasoline. You get more heat and carry less fuel you also save weight in transportation
My stoves:
4M gasoline ( can burn Kerosene if preheated)
500 gasoline ( can burn Kerosene if preheated)
530 gasoline
Net cost of all these 40 to 60 year olds less than a new dual fuel 425.
My lanterns:
237 gasoline or kerosene
236 gasoline
247 gasoline or kerosene
242B gasoline
Net cost of all these 40 to 60 year olds less than a 2 dual fuel north stars and better are built.
But the one can of liquid fuel us equal to 4 and half small cans of propane
I think what he did...tell me if I'm wrong....by making a comment with "wrong in the heading"....so I can differentiate...was the following:
He took the guts out of a 20# tank...and used to for retrofit into the Coleman stove...right?
But, why? The 1# propane bottle is too small to run both burners effectively without freezing and locking up and the large tank is too bulky for many trips.The Coleman fuel is the hotter/better fuel.
your such a big silly beast
I type this August 9 2015 and Coleman White Gas Fuel is $15.00.
test
Could you tell me where to buy the adapter/generator to run propane on my Coleman stove thanks,
