I have a few of those. On a couple of them the lighter didn't work at all out of the box. I had to bend the little arm on the striker away from the metal frame. It's like a spark plug in that it needs a certain gap for the spark to fire its hottest. Once I got it set, they worked perfectly. The others came set close enough to work all the time. Thanks for the vids!
i bought 2 of the adapter for 12.00 on amazon about 6 months ago. this set up for 15.00 is WELL worth it. mainly because of the igniter. i like it. talk about running out of fuel, it has never happened to me but last weekend i was in Bloomington IN camping. i was on a trail called the Sycamore trail off of Hacker Fire tower. i stopped to have some ramen lunch and my gas pressure started decreasing. i was worried for a minute but all was good.
I've used mine multiple times to make coffee. It works using butane & propane, but very tipsy with my small water cup high in the air. I would like my coffee cup closer to the table, less likely to topple. Something shorter like my 30 yr old Coleman Peak 1. Just my 2 cents.
👍👍👍 .. good post 😊. Price is not always 'the' indicator as to how well (or not) a stove will perform. If it does the job to one's satisfaction, then who cares of it is a budget Walmart brand name? I have, and still use, a 'Camping Gaz Bluet 206' gas stove that I purchased back in the 1970's in South Africa. Yes, once installed, the gas cylinder cannot be removed until it is empty .. for me, a minor inconvenience and of no comsequence. It is extremely reliable, has an integral wind shield (although I do keep a folding aluminium screen on hand for just in case) and a folding (removable for storage) base for additional stability. The Burner Head and Pot Supports are also removable for ease of storage. My go-to storage is a PVC Toiletry Bag that I can store inside my pack or strap on outside. It carries the stove and assembled gas cylinder, foot piece, wind screen, gas lighter w a short snout, backup matches, pot grip, cloth and other odds and sods. A bonus, here in Switzerland, I can get replacement 190 gram gas cartridges just down the road at my local food store (or just about anywhere else in Europe) .. and at a cost per gram of gas, appreciably cheaper than the more modern screw-on/off cartridges. And .. it's paid for 😁. This model is still available here, with footpiece., for under CHF 25.00. Well worth a look-see in your neck of the woods. Thanks for sharing .. take care ..
I have several of these, and they work great. One thing to watch out for is when using larger pots/cups it likes jump around with a hard boil, it will boil hard enough to fall completely off and potentially burn someone or something. That's not really a major deal, but it is worth trying out your gear.
That's great for hiking, and camping but not for survival. Where are you going to get a refill in the middle of the woods? a twig stove makes more sense. I carry a Pathfinder Military Canteen water bottle/Cup/Stove cup stand. The beauty of this kit; is that it follows me everywhere and no need to carry extra fuel along. Twigs are everywhere even in a city environment. Thanks
Good video! I have a similar one to that, one that does not have the igniter. One thing I noticed it that thing can make the pot/cup or pan too hot when cooking eggs or trying to cook something that requires a lower temperature (such as a simmer instead of a boil), but it does boil water pretty quickly.
I bought one last week haven't opened it up yet. I'll open it up when my new backpack arrives because it's going in there. Seems like it's pretty decent little stove. Thanks for the video, subscribed! ,👍
The adapter is nice, and so are the legs. I got all of them separately, and bought a “cheap” stove kit from amazon, for the same price as this kit. Glad to see this, I’ll be picking one or two up soon!
@@ClaudeBohls nope....no sponsors for me. I have a friend who got 6 sponsorship offers out of the blue, but nothing for me. Not sure I would accept them anyway. Too much pressure and too many contractual obligations.

Awesome little stove, had mine a year used it about 100 times and the igniter worked every time 👍👍
Bought one of these just to round out my collection. White gas/kerosene, propane, Butane; now I only need a Biolite.
I have one. Works well and can’t beat it for the price at Walmart.

Good choice that coleman peak 1. What’s the modern day version of the Coleman peak 1?
@Nunya9876
Coleman 'Guide Series' Duel Fuel 533. I searched the company site and this is essentially the same as the one I mentioned.
👍👍👍 .. good post 😊.

I added a 4 x 4 inch grill/grate to help balance the load on top. The adapter is so you have a duel fuel stove.

Heavy use of this stove for over a year. It works.

Ive seen them at the store. Ill have to pick one up now, thanks for the review.
Thanks for sharing 😊
My brother gave me the version with the hose... the hose failed and leaked out a 1lb bottle of fuel. This one looks like the solution.
Good Information Sir. Thanks
Good way to heat your beans cowboy…stay away from the fire afterwards…Have fun stay safe.
They didn’t sponsor you did they, Cletus?

How long dose the fuel last an advantage .
