Great review. Just picked up one of these for emergency use around the house or on camping trips. I was motivated to buy it because we were affected by the power outages during the Texas winter storm a few weeks back. I’ll never be caught without a decent stove to heat food or water again!
The local sporting store where I bought this stove did not know about an adapter. The stove has sat in the garage for about 10 years solely for emergency use. I'm glad to find this video. Ordering the adapter today. Toting the stove and propane tank for a camping beach vacation.
Thank you so much for posting this. My dog literally got ahold of the instruction manual and tore it to pieces. I called support and they said they would send me another booklet. I've had the stove for a couple years but never used it. After watching your video I feel much more comfortable in giving it a shot. Thanks again. Oh, support never did send the booklet.
This must have been an earlier model . I bought one yesterday and it does have a piezo igniter also I can very easily control the flame size . I luv mine
Is there way to tell difference between two from the box? Our power is down since yesterday, i wanted to get it through Amazon through his link but it won't be here in time. I notice that target near me has some but I am not sure which one they got..i want the newer version one obviously
There's a section of the video (2m 12s) where someone's lighting the stove and turning the regulator knob. Notice the flame does NOT increase in intensity. I own 2 of these stoves and someone else bought a third as a backup (not knowing I had 2 already) - then I bought a Stansport, with a spark lighter as mentioned later in the video. I ended up giving away one of the coleman stoves. Coleman has 2, not 3 settings on this stove: OFF and BURN everything to a crisp. It's very difficult to get a "simmer" on this stove. I focused on Stansport after watching a Van-Life video and the person demonstrating how easily they could get a low flame. Bottom line, this stove is difficult to cook on if you're not simply boiling something. The good news... is that there are other products you could buy to help regulate the heat. There's a spacer, for instance, that can raise the level of the pot so that you can take on less heat. imo, why spend extra for that when you can just buy a stove that works great.
I just picked up an older deluxe propane Coleman stove 5410A700. Also with that I got a Coleman 413g. Both for $15. They need a little restoring but I go the 413g home and it lit up perfect. Even the leather pump gasket was oiled as it's supposed to be. Have not tried the deluxe yet.
Look up dual fuel portable burner. These take either a butane canister or a portable green canister propane. The lowest price on amazon and ebay is about $44. Single burner but it's very light and comes with a electric igniter.
i have my dad's old colemen stove and lantern, the stove is in my opinion more easy to use but also less convenient because you need camp fuel to use it. that old stove was built to last.
I just bought a Coleman classic stove off Amazon for $40, I did not want a big grill that cost $300 I like the size and the cost and I have it sitting on an out door camp kitchen
I would disagree about the backpacking part. Personally I easily can. But then again, i always pack everything from 50 lbs of food, to pots, pans, and a teaset.
Im not sure! as long as can hook into the adapter, you should be able to use whatever. We just recommend the Coleman one, because we know for sure that it works!
This what you mean? www.walmart.com/ip/Coleman-Camp-Propane-Stove-Regulator-Replacement-Part/43980090?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=4165&&adid=22222222227031792264&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=74804703888&wl4=aud-834279576366:pla-104604780288&wl5=9026793&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=43980090&veh=sem&gclid=CjwKCAjwzvX7BRAeEiwAsXExoxnABif7mTdDB3z-nUXz-eANMUbFSBxpdeuhfYyvfxPK6uSl5blcbhoC9pUQAvD_BwE
Wow quite the statement. I’m in brother and fellow founder I can guarantee you he has. Almost was an Eagle Scout we lived in the woods as kids but go ahead and keep assuming. Just because he doesn’t look like what you think is a hiker doesn’t mean he isn’t.
Also another thing when you’re lighting these you always want to bring the gas to the flame so when you try to light it like your lighter put the flame near the burner and then turn the gas on that Safer than turn the gas on and then trying to bring the flame to the gas
FLAME CONTROL FIX:Take the knobs off,then the square nut behind them, then unscrew the valve,wipe the horrible factory grease off the valve and inside the hole where the valve screwed into.Put new silicone grease on rubber o-rings of valves.Put back together and you now have amazing flame control all the way down to the tiniest flame for simmering or med flame for slow cooking.Improves the stoves performance 100 percent and only takes 10 mins to fix with a screw driver and some grease.Tip:after you take the nut off then screw the knob back on and use the knob the unscrew the valve.
You know what we do in the military. We simply grab two bags. The first being the ruck sack which is the biggest. We pack it full and stick it on our backs. The second being the lightest is our assault pack.. to civilians.. it’s just a book bag or backpack.. we pack it full and stick it on our stomach. That way all you really have to carry in your hands is your portable stove.
After the recent snowfalls in Texas and Louisiana I decided to get one of these. We never lost power but I was thinking about what if we did...and I decided it was time to prep up. I used them in Scouts many years ago and looking forward to having my own. Great review!
Love my Coleman. I did a little modification that I am totally happy with. On the regulator where the bottle screws in I removed the entry pipe screen that is in the hole which allows much more flow of propane. It cranks now when boiling water. Actually heats water faster than my kitchen stove. You have two options after drilling out/removing the screen. You can remove the small pipe from regulator with a small socket - I forget the size. I JB welded a small cut finishing nail (cut to maybe a quarter of an inch long) into the hole leaving at least half of the hole area open. This need to be there in order to make contact with the valve in the tank and open it when screwed in. It should be flush to the entry hole. Another option is get another pipe off of an another device that does not have the screen. If you don't have one you can buy a cheap refill adaptor or hose that will have the same little pipe without the screen. Look around. Either way this makes a lot more propane flow which is restricted by the screen. I have had zero issues and a lot more enjoyment having this stove crank out the heat going this approach. Thanks for the video.
Excellent review, very clear on the pros & cons, very good demonstration. I appreciated that your knowledge of the stove, is EXPERIENTIAL, and not intellectual. Real world experience is ALWAYS the best. I need/will get one of these. Thank you.
A couple of tips for you: The wind regulators are also designed to reduce or increase the heat ( slightly ) as an added bonus. The further out to decrease the heat, the closer in to increase the heat. Make sure the first burner, the right burner, has heated up sufficiently before you attempt to start and light the second left burner. Trust me this will help.
I live in Iowa and went through the derecho of 2020. We lost power and gas for one week where I live. My Coleman camping stove came through for me cause charcoal was hard to come by because all the stores were closed due to either damage or no electricity. I had plenty of propane tanks and having at least one hot meal a day was a real moral booster during that time. I didn’t have to throw much meat out either cause I was able to cook it. I invited neighbors over and we all pitched in and fed each other so our food wouldn’t spoil. I actually met some really cool neighbors and made some new friends thanks to my Coleman camping stove.
This takes me back to the old days when I used to go camping with the Boy Scouts. In the morning our favorite thing to make was pancakes, some of them were big others had very. . . interesting appearances. Looks easy enough to use and since my family is moving to a place with a lot of outdoor opportunities maybe I'll pick this up, thanks!
My 1st Coleman stove was a "white gas" type. It served me well for several years. Then I bought the stove described here. I have nothing bad to say about either one. Thanks for the review. This booger is a pleasure to camp with and would no doubt be a lifesaver in an emergency.
Just picked one up to use on a beach camping trip. Burgers came out great and fast as did the breakfast sausage. The wind was blowing at 20mph. Very happy with the stove.
What’s the difference between using this stove and a standard style? I see it says, “never use in a camper, tent, or home” . So why can I use regular gas stove in a home but not this one?
hello ! I bought one and brought it to my country. For obvious reasons, I couldn't bring propane gas on the plane. so in my country I don't know what gas to buy. they do not sell coleman gas they only sell nautika propane gas. I wanted to know if I can use any propane gas? or if it only serves coleman gas , thankyouuuuu
good review! i'd add more pros: you can get a $13 adapter hose to hook it up to regular propane tanks, you can refill those little bottles for cheap at home with a $10 adapter, those little propane bottles last a long time with this stove (over 2 hours for us using both burners), carry handle is part of the metal case (not a separate piece to break off someday), all steel tough construction, simple K.I.S.S. design so nothing will leak, break or malfunction, the grate sits low to the burners so things heat up faster and more efficiently, the knobs have infinite adjustment dials, the flames are like torch-lighters so they never blow out even without wind-shield flaps. and it's low price! your "cons" are actually not cons for me - for example, i like that there is no ignition (something to break eventually), that it's compact (not gonna be cooking with such big pots/pans or backpacking with it), that it's got some weight (so it sits firmly even when bumped). my only con is that it takes a while to cool off (but that's still ok, because it's cool by the time we finish eating unless we eat a quick meal)
I just bought a coleman 2 burner stove. This one only came with a lid & not the side wind guards. I'm camping right now so I'm hoping there is no wind for the next few days lol Btw, the heat controls suck. Idk why your able to twist the knobs so far. I'm considering taking a sharpie & put a dot to where "low" is suppose to be, then 2 dots for "medium" & 3 dots for "high". That way when we use it,were not fumbling around trying to make sure we got the right temp. Last thing I wanna do is burn what food we did bring
These also come real handy during a power failure if you have a electric range and stove. You maybe eating in the dark or by candle light but at least you'll be eating a hot meal.
Everyone with an electric stove should have an alternative cooking method. One of these stoves along with the Coleman folding oven gives full function. Adding a 2 burner griddle to the set is like icing on the cake. From frying bacon to baking biscuits and grilled ham & cheese sandwiches, no reason to go without food or COFFEE in a grid-down situation. Just don't forget the percolator or go for cowboy coffee. :-)

You can get a very nice carrying case with handle that has two side pouches for fuel tanks. It makes carrying it a bit easier than the demonstration in your video.
Oh, price looks very attractive for the stove like this. I am sure that it is an excellent stove for camping and I like that it doesn't a lot of place in the car. A couple of years ago we went camping with small kids. This kind of stove would help us! Great tips!
Why does Coleman not have a 90 degree right angled regulator, that you can connect your 2kg gas bottle too, instead of this horrendous and annoying angled regulator....?
@@TheJourneyest2016 I mean, I get it. The point is to push the Coleman branded gas canisters away from the flame, but it really is ignorant and a poor design that fails to consider those whod like to use a gas bottle and save the planet of use of multiple overpriced gas canisters
Just bought mine 45 min ago and I’m drinking my coffee now. Just turn valves off but I here a ding every now and then. Wondering if that’s normal.?.? Hopefully all is well and I don’t blow up. 🤣
I have an older model that was for fuel and have the adapter for propane. Works good for a small family, but if you are cooking for a large group, I recommend stepping up to the Camp Chef Explorer. That’s all we use in our Trail Life troop. Must have for cast iron cooking.
Waowwwwwwwwwwwwwww straight just walked into an academy’s and saw this stove on a sale’s table with the tank connector missing, I wanted to look this up as this would be my first portable stove purchase and came across this video. Needless to say I walked out w/ the stove a ten dollars buy out of a 56 dollar purchase all of it was on sale great buy. Thanks for the review
Grew up going camping with a Coleman stove like this. Lucas needs to help me with my groceries, hahaha! How long has the stove you have now lasted you?
You can get it for 37.00 at WM! I just bought one! I picked it up and brought it home. You must have a different model or something is wrong with it...first thing I did was check the flame adjustment...it will go way down and stay on...almost until you can't even see it and still it is there! Well worth the 37.00 plus tax paid!
Just saw your video. Some really good advice. We used a Coleman stove for years on camping trips. Still has stickers on it from all the places we went. One piece of advice. Always check to see if the hose attachment for the propane bottle is inside the stove. Especially after you've given the stove a good cleaning. We were not happy campers to not have it in Joshua Tree on a Thanksgiving weekend. Drove all the way back to TwentyNine Palms to look for one and found all the stores closed for that weekend. First thing we would do before loading up for a trip after that was to check for that hose. We laugh now about it but not at the time.
I just bought one at WalMart and the knob adjusters are a DREAM COME TRUE! WAY different than yours! I can adjust it from just a whisper of gas, all the way to full blast, and all points in-between, and all I've got to say is THANK YOU COLEMAN for LISTENING, because it seems that they fixed it! And it cranks out the heat, and boils water very quickly. Of course, old stock may be in some stores. But all I'm saying is, I love my Coleman stove because the valves are GREAT!
Bought it because of your review, couldn't be more happy with it! Had hi winds while camping but I turn the nob to medium high heat and had no issues, super happy with it. Thanks for the video
Iv one of these..its ok for the price..i have trouble with it sliding around in the table ....and the tank when connected is in a bad position. . Do you have any ideas anybody ?
Nice review. I stumbled on a $23 propane adapter from Walmart that converts the Coleman gas stoves to propane and it's great for low flames simmers. With the Coleman 424 you can burn white gas, unleaded gas and now propane. Many used ones out there.
What did I do wrong. All of a sudden fire started coming out of the connection tube to the stove. I grabbed a dish towel and hit the tube to put out the fire. Then I tried to turn the knobs and they were so hot they had melted. And the stove was sitting on a picnic table and the bottom of the stove was so hot it scarred the top of the table
Oh my goodness. I am so sorry to hear that. Might have just been a malfunction in the product itself. I would contact Coleman and let them know the issue you had. They may be able to help best!
I purchased mine after our last hurricane and the power was out for 6 days. Haven’t used it yet and looking at reviews to determine if I should keep or get a different one.
Great review. Just picked up one of these for emergency use around the house or on camping trips. I was motivated to buy it because we were affected by the power outages during the Texas winter storm a few weeks back. I’ll never be caught without a decent stove to heat food or water again!
Fort Worth over here. Slowly preparing in case that happens again.
The local sporting store where I bought this stove did not know about an adapter. The stove has sat in the garage for about 10 years solely for emergency use. I'm glad to find this video. Ordering the adapter today. Toting the stove and propane tank for a camping beach vacation.
This has been a godsend during Hurricane Sally! Thank you for your video
You are so welcome!
We've had one of these for years, and it's worked/held up very well.
Awesome :) glad you like yours too!
Those Coleman stoves last generations if you take care of them, and they're reliable.
Thank you so much for posting this. My dog literally got ahold of the instruction manual and tore it to pieces. I called support and they said they would send me another booklet. I've had the stove for a couple years but never used it. After watching your video I feel much more comfortable in giving it a shot. Thanks again. Oh, support never did send the booklet.
This must have been an earlier model . I bought one yesterday and it does have a piezo igniter also I can very easily control the flame size . I luv mine
Yes it probably is!
Emmanuel Goldstein you can use our link in the description it has the newer one
Is there way to tell difference between two from the box? Our power is down since yesterday, i wanted to get it through Amazon through his link but it won't be here in time. I notice that target near me has some but I am not sure which one they got..i want the newer version one obviously
A nice thing to have on hand for an emergency kit.
True!
Yeah you can boil some rice fix a can of beans...
This stove really looks handy. Easy to use, effective and affordable. Plus everyone can have a nice hot meal while being camping.
It sure is :)
There's a section of the video (2m 12s) where someone's lighting the stove and turning the regulator knob. Notice the flame does NOT increase in intensity. I own 2 of these stoves and someone else bought a third as a backup (not knowing I had 2 already) - then I bought a Stansport, with a spark lighter as mentioned later in the video. I ended up giving away one of the coleman stoves.
Coleman has 2, not 3 settings on this stove: OFF and BURN everything to a crisp. It's very difficult to get a "simmer" on this stove. I focused on Stansport after watching a Van-Life video and the person demonstrating how easily they could get a low flame.
Bottom line, this stove is difficult to cook on if you're not simply boiling something.
The good news... is that there are other products you could buy to help regulate the heat. There's a spacer, for instance, that can raise the level of the pot so that you can take on less heat. imo, why spend extra for that when you can just buy a stove that works great.
I just picked up an older deluxe propane Coleman stove 5410A700. Also with that I got a Coleman 413g. Both for $15. They need a little restoring but I go the 413g home and it lit up perfect. Even the leather pump gasket was oiled as it's supposed to be. Have not tried the deluxe yet.
Look up dual fuel portable burner. These take either a butane canister or a portable green canister propane. The lowest price on amazon and ebay is about $44. Single burner but it's very light and comes with a electric igniter.
Thanks!
i have my dad's old colemen stove and lantern, the stove is in my opinion more easy to use but also less convenient because you need camp fuel to use it. that old stove was built to last.
Hello,
Have you tried and made a review of the Coleman tritan camp stove??? This video was great
Thank you for this excellent vid!
To get less heat turn down the valve on the canister!
Can I use this for beach catch and cooks as well?
I love mine. The pros far outweigh the cons.
I just bought a Coleman classic stove off Amazon for $40, I did not want a big grill that cost $300 I like the size and the cost and I have it sitting on an out door camp kitchen
Nice! They are a great value for sure
does the regulator come with it or is it something that is sold apart
I would disagree about the backpacking part. Personally I easily can. But then again, i always pack everything from 50 lbs of food, to pots, pans, and a teaset.
Hey these propane stoves,,, can you use any propane tank, like those blue skinny long bernzomatic tanks??? Or just the coleman green and stubby tank
Im not sure! as long as can hook into the adapter, you should be able to use whatever. We just recommend the Coleman one, because we know for sure that it works!
Could you put a sheet pan on it and turn it into a flat top griddle for grilling?
I wouldn't recommend it!
I need that metal adapter piece !! Can anyone link ?! I can’t find the piece that adapts the 1lb tank to the stove
This what you mean? www.walmart.com/ip/Coleman-Camp-Propane-Stove-Regulator-Replacement-Part/43980090?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=4165&&adid=22222222227031792264&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=74804703888&wl4=aud-834279576366:pla-104604780288&wl5=9026793&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=43980090&veh=sem&gclid=CjwKCAjwzvX7BRAeEiwAsXExoxnABif7mTdDB3z-nUXz-eANMUbFSBxpdeuhfYyvfxPK6uSl5blcbhoC9pUQAvD_BwE
Can I use cast iron pan?
Apple King - Doria absolutely! Should work great!
Thank you’ just bought the adaptor on amazon! Hope you can make some cash’
Thank you! Hope it works well for you!
can you do some grilling here?
Haha, we didn't but you can't really grill like on a normal grill. You need a pan.
I got this at Walmart for $29
Gentlemen don't wear hats indoors.
Honestly I don't this this guy has ever hiked more than a mile or ever missed a meal.
Wow quite the statement. I’m in brother and fellow founder I can guarantee you he has. Almost was an Eagle Scout we lived in the woods as kids but go ahead and keep assuming. Just because he doesn’t look like what you think is a hiker doesn’t mean he isn’t.

If you want better heat control you should dis-assemble the knobs and clean and re-oil the mechanism inside - they work so much better afterwards.

In the cold , heat up the bottle.
I just bought one tonight from Target @ $29.09 on sale!! It's 12/20/2022
Thanks🤝 a lot for the video.I'm thinking of buying such a stove....
What’s the difference between using this stove and a standard style?
I see it says, “never use in a camper, tent, or home” .
So why can I use regular gas stove in a home but not this one?
hello ! I bought one and brought it to my country.

I wanted to know if I can use any propane gas? or if it only serves coleman gas , thankyouuuuu
If you get some plumbers grease, remove the knobs and pull out the needle valves you can grease them. It makes the stove work so much better.
good review! i'd add more pros: you can get a $13 adapter hose to hook it up to regular propane tanks, you can refill those little bottles for cheap at home with a $10 adapter, those little propane bottles last a long time with this stove (over 2 hours for us using both burners), carry handle is part of the metal case (not a separate piece to break off someday), all steel tough construction, simple K.I.S.S. design so nothing will leak, break or malfunction, the grate sits low to the burners so things heat up faster and more efficiently, the knobs have infinite adjustment dials, the flames are like torch-lighters so they never blow out even without wind-shield flaps. and it's low price!
your "cons" are actually not cons for me - for example, i like that there is no ignition (something to break eventually), that it's compact (not gonna be cooking with such big pots/pans or backpacking with it), that it's got some weight (so it sits firmly even when bumped).
my only con is that it takes a while to cool off (but that's still ok, because it's cool by the time we finish eating unless we eat a quick meal)
Can you drop a link to the adapter for 20lb gas tank?
Thanks for your added info! Very helpful!
Good video, but the background, noise/music is really annoying.
im new to camping and propane in general. I'm just scared that's its gonna blow up for something I did wrong I didn't know was wrong
I just bought a coleman 2 burner stove. This one only came with a lid & not the side wind guards. I'm camping right now so I'm hoping there is no wind for the next few days lol
Btw, the heat controls suck. Idk why your able to twist the knobs so far. I'm considering taking a sharpie & put a dot to where "low" is suppose to be, then 2 dots for "medium" & 3 dots for "high".

Thanks for demonstrating this camping stove 😀
No problemo!
They have these at Ollie’s right now on sale for 25$! 👌
Light you lighter on burner First! Then lturn on fuel!
Good tip!
I love the stove but I would like the propane on the other side out of my way.
Could really do without the drum beat, very obnoxious!
Just picked one up at Target for $30 on sale!!
I might have missed it but does the table the stove is sitting on get hot at all? Nice video. Thanks.
Nope! :)
How to fix the simmering control flames below.

Need to check the videos for cleaning the needle valves and applying silicone grease. It solves all the control problems
You can get a very nice carrying case with handle that has two side pouches for fuel tanks. It makes carrying it a bit easier than the demonstration in your video.
Thanks for the tip :)
Oh, price looks very attractive for the stove like this. I am sure that it is an excellent stove for camping and I like that it doesn't a lot of place in the car. A couple of years ago we went camping with small kids. This kind of stove would help us! Great tips!
Yeah its a great price and works great!
Why does Coleman not have a 90 degree right angled regulator, that you can connect your 2kg gas bottle too, instead of this horrendous and annoying angled regulator....?
El Scruffo McScruffy could not agree more lol. I feel your frustration
@@TheJourneyest2016 I mean, I get it. The point is to push the Coleman branded gas canisters away from the flame, but it really is ignorant and a poor design that fails to consider those whod like to use a gas bottle and save the planet of use of multiple overpriced gas canisters
Just bought mine 45 min ago and I’m drinking my coffee now. Just turn valves off but I here a ding every now and then. Wondering if that’s normal.?.? Hopefully all is well and I don’t blow up. 🤣
👀🤯😂😂
I have an older model that was for fuel and have the adapter for propane. Works good for a small family, but if you are cooking for a large group, I recommend stepping up to the Camp Chef Explorer. That’s all we use in our Trail Life troop. Must have for cast iron cooking.
Thanks for the tip! :) We actually used it cooking for a big group and it wasn't bad, especially since we already had most everything prepped!
Waowwwwwwwwwwwwwww straight just walked into an academy’s and saw this stove on a sale’s table with the tank connector missing, I wanted to look this up as this would be my first portable stove purchase and came across this video. Needless to say I walked out w/ the stove a ten dollars buy out of a 56 dollar purchase all of it was on sale great buy. Thanks for the review
Awesome :) let us know what you think!
6:15 fail grill lighters work the best
Coleman Triton with ignition is better.
Thats an interesting article and episode, friend. Thanks...!!!
Thanks for watching :)
Informative video, many thanks, but almost unwatchable with that background "music." Please don't do that to us.
Sorry you didn’t like the music 🙈 thanks for watching!
Have to get me one
20 pound propane tank, not 20 gallon
Grew up going camping with a Coleman stove like this. Lucas needs to help me with my groceries, hahaha! How long has the stove you have now lasted you?
Since 2016 that is when we got it :)
I would use wooden matches or the clicker you used. Thanks for a great review. Just got one today in case the shtf.
I’m ordering one now 😂
Thank you.. I just ordered the COLEMAN PROPANE ADAPTER-
20 Gallon propane tank?
You can get it for 37.00 at WM! I just bought one! I picked it up and brought it home. You must have a different model or something is wrong with it...first thing I did was check the flame adjustment...it will go way down and stay on...almost until you can't even see it and still it is there! Well worth the 37.00 plus tax paid!
Just saw your video. Some really good advice. We used a Coleman stove for years on camping trips. Still has stickers on it from all the places we went. One piece of advice. Always check to see if the hose attachment for the propane bottle is inside the stove. Especially after you've given the stove a good cleaning. We were not happy campers to not have it in Joshua Tree on a Thanksgiving weekend. Drove all the way back to TwentyNine Palms to look for one and found all the stores closed for that weekend. First thing we would do before loading up for a trip after that was to check for that hose. We laugh now about it but not at the time.
Ahh man :( Im sorry! At least now you have a fun story!!
Looks like a great stove my ganrndad would love this as he dose lots of fishing
How cool! :)
Great video! When the ambient temperature is low, the propane canisters can lose pressure which might explain the performance issues you talked about.
I appreciate the insight and for the watch! Glad you liked it
I love this kind of stove always used them.
Thanks!
I just bought one at WalMart and the knob adjusters are a DREAM COME TRUE! WAY different than yours! I can adjust it from just a whisper of gas, all the way to full blast, and all points in-between, and all I've got to say is THANK YOU COLEMAN for LISTENING, because it seems that they fixed it! And it cranks out the heat, and boils water very quickly.
Of course, old stock may be in some stores. But all I'm saying is, I love my Coleman stove because the valves are GREAT!
Bought it because of your review, couldn't be more happy with it! Had hi winds while camping but I turn the nob to medium high heat and had no issues, super happy with it. Thanks for the video
Iv one of these..its ok for the price..i have trouble with it sliding around in the table ....and the tank when connected is in a bad position. . Do you have any ideas anybody ?
You could always try putting some kind of rubber sticky something on the bottom to keep it from sliding!
Nice review. I stumbled on a $23 propane adapter from Walmart that converts the Coleman gas stoves to propane and it's great for low flames simmers. With the Coleman 424 you can burn white gas, unleaded gas and now propane. Many used ones out there.
Thanks for the tip!
Question, any idea what regulator was the precursor to the 5430 that is on most of these stoves? The Male end on mine is a little larger diameter.
Unfortunately no we do not know! Sorry!
What did I do wrong. All of a sudden fire started coming out of the connection tube to the stove. I grabbed a dish towel and hit the tube to put out the fire. Then I tried to turn the knobs and they were so hot they had melted. And the stove was sitting on a picnic table and the bottom of the stove was so hot it scarred the top of the table
Oh my goodness. I am so sorry to hear that. Might have just been a malfunction in the product itself. I would contact Coleman and let them know the issue you had. They may be able to help best!
@@TheJourneyest2016 i bought it used. So after watching several videos, I’m gonna buy a new one and try again
Really enjoying these review videos guys! Definitely opening my eyes to some cool travel gear. "Good morale and hot food" - so true!
Thanks for watching :)
Mine keeps turning off/going in and out. Anyone know what might be the issue? Also, it won't really allow me to use both simultaneously.
This is pretty cool, it’d be perfect for camping.
It really is!!
You think so?
Great video in helping me get this devise . I also saw you had a nice jacket on . What is the brand and price of the jacket . Thanks in advance .
I purchased mine after our last hurricane and the power was out for 6 days. Haven’t used it yet and looking at reviews to determine if I should keep or get a different one.
If you don't have a lighter of matches while camping you are doing something wrong.
