Thanks for this video! I've been thinking of buying one of these for a while now and after watching this video, I'm convinced I truly need it. I travel a lot on the road and rather cook for myself than spend money eating out. It'll save me money and keep me healthy. Stay safe out there!
for emergency backup cooking I have a little alcohol stove and several of the yellow bottles of HEET (not the red bottles). The best part is I can put the HEET in gas tank if I ever get bad gas anywhere. Make sure you have good ventilation if you cook like this.
I like you and your channel, enjoy keeping up with where you are and the places you go the views and the diverse places you camp, to be honest I'm more into the places you visit and not the reviews. You're the little guy humble and not pretentious just a regular person. Have you considered the cost to the environment with cans that are a onetime use? A propane stove with an adaptor hose and a large bottle would be more cost effective and generate less trash and their compatible with a Buddy heater. The Butane won't atomize in the cold when you'll need that warn meal. I know your space is limited and I'm probably "preaching" environmental cost's but well... that's just what I do. I keep mine in the right front floor seems a safe place and makes use of an underutilized space. I hope to be back out next year, and I haven't spent much time in New Mexico so your content really interests me. Thanks for keeping us entertained!
@@kevinelliott9545 check out New Mexico when you get back out on the road. I have considered it, and I considered the Buddy Heater. My hangup with it was it burns moist and you get a lot of moisture built up. That goes for butane as well. This thing works great for me. My environmental footprint is very very small compared to most. Thanks for watching!
@@ARealLiveNomad The diesel heater seems to be the way to go think that will be my next upgrade but when it gets cold, I tend to head home. I think I'll try Quartzsite soon the winters are ugly here in Wyoming. Your impact is small I understand but just like myself it can be smaller it's something that's always on my mind. Thanks for replying I'll stop preaching.
@@Liimpy I love those old green burner stoves with the red kerosene tank! Yeah Coleman does a great job on all their gear, especially stoves. Thanks for watching!- Kenny
Love e-bay, but chose Walmart online simply because I could return it to a local store, if it showed up damaged in shipping. e-bay returns can be iffy, and for this product, return on Amazon is a no-go. Not sure why - you are not returning the stove with the fuel inside. There is a huge cold front/storm coming later this week. We are prepped, but I wanted more convenient ways to heat and cook. Hope the off-brand butane canisters I purchased (yes, those can be delivered) will work ok. Also purchased a Firemaple Polaris camp stove for heating water efficiently, and a small korean made (cupid?) space heater that van-lifers seem to like.
@@distaff2935 Good point about the returns. I didn’t think of that. Yes that is important to consider, definitely. I wasn’t sure about the FAA and shipping regulations for the butane canisters. I am glad to know they can be shipped and delivered. More videos drop this weekend so stay tuned. I appreciate you watching and writing in. Happy New Year, 2025- Kenny
I looked at this one at first but I ended up buying the blue one I have now because of the discount I got from Go Outdoors. I think I’ll get this Coleman one next time though
Sorry friend but, back in the day flame cookers were fine for food cooking & warming. Now solar powered induction stove tops are safer in the fire ravished west Raw plant based food works well too. Thanks, and... 👍 Rock on 🙂.
@@ARealLiveNomad not that much.. I do it with only 400amps of LiFePO 4 storage with plenty left over for blenders, Wifi, chargers, etc.. You'd love it !
@@mythicalnomadadventure969 I have a 500 watt electric hot plate but the energy draw with my particular solar setup is too great for it to be a regular option for me. I like the idea just cant quite afford it!
You can get a much better quality butane stove and fuel for about the same price. Fuel is cheaper too. saw a 4 pac butane for $5. Colman butane stove is just a cheap steel made same unit from asia with its name on it. After so many uses, it rust out with spills and such. The Japanese butane stoves are stainless steel and last years. Buy at Japanese grocery store.

@@LexiLaLuz147 still working like a champ. Thanks for watching the review on it!
Glad to see you're doing well Kenny.
Same stove and fuel I use. Has worked great for 3 years
@@its-me12165 love it, it’s a great product! Thanks for watching.

@@SuperBlobsterMan interesting, never heard of HEET. Good information. Yes, ventilation if you cook inside your van.

Thanks for tuning in.
I have one of these and I really like it too. I used it while I was camping in the back of my pickup.
Thanks for tuning in. I like it a lot. Great for truck camping! Take care, Kenny
Excellent review/demonstration. Thank You for posting 👍🙏
@@MARKCANEER thank you. Thanks for watching!
Ive considered buying one these, im using a 40 yr old Coleman that uses liquid kerosene. it's very reliable, but it's a bear to lug around

Go check prices on the fuel cans at Asian food stores, normally cheaper than Walmart
@@ervland7635 brilliant tip! I will do that, thanks!
That taste test = 😊

Oh and I didn’t think of using my case as a blocker. Thanks for the tip!
Works like a charm!

I like the idea. Solar cooking takes a massive energy draw.
@@ARealLiveNomad not that much..

@@ARealLiveNomad I understand, been there. Sometimes the universe smiles on a #Vanlifer. It did on me.
Invest in a multi thousand dollar solar system so you can cook lettuce.. 😵💫..

@@shanec.7105 good information, thank you!
I have seen all your videos, some of your videos have SEO, because of which you are not getting views and subscribers to the channel
@@subolhalder-14 I’m not sure what SEO is, but we are doing pretty well in my opinion. Thanks.
