I had abuncha problems using my stove--especially in cold weather and high altitude--until someone recently taught me the purpose of the lighting lever. Cold temperatures and high altitude are a double whammy on the fuel/air mixture.
My buddy found one of these stoves in a dumpster, he took it and refurbished it back into working condition. We just recently got back from a week of dispersed camping in New Mexico, and even through thunderstorms, and nights of not being able to start a camp fire, this little stove kept us fed and happy. Carrying around a gallon of liquid fuel is much nicer than relying on propane tanks.
A couple of issues. 1. No need to worry about putting your thumb over the pump knob hole after pumping. There is a check valve in there to keep the air from escaping. 2. You won't get the big yellow flames if you open the valve all the way, all at once. This is how the instant lighting system is designed to work. Pump it up. Lighting lever up. Hold your lighted match or lighter to the burner and quickly open the valve ALL THE WAY or at least two full turns. Not two partial turns, two complete revolutions. All the way works every time. As soon as it lights, you can start pumping to keep the pressure up. Pressure is your friend here. It atomizes the fuel better. Try it, you'll like it. If you don't believe me, read the instructions on the wind screen in front of you.
Thanks for the tips! I just pulled mine out of my shed(which was left behind from the previous homeowner). It was there and rusty when i bought the house.. It's appears to be about 50yrs old. It was in bad shape but after watching this and doing a quick rehab, she's cooking again!! I've been wanting to play with this thing for 16yrs(since I moved here) and today it happened🙏
You only need to keep your thumb over the hole while pumping. When you're done pumping, you don't have to keep your thumb over the hole in the pump. A check valve will maintain pressure in the fuel tank while you tighten the pump plunger.
Thank you Practical Preper, I've just purchased a Coleman Camp Stove and you have taught me how to operate it.
Thank you for this video. We are avid campers but we are using a more modern Colman stove with the propane canisters. I found a Colman 425B stove at a yard sale for $5. We were so excited to find it and are looking forward to using it on the next camping trip.
Theres something soo soothing about an old lantern or stove hissing away. It's like the perfect white noise when camping. I did go a little nuts on offerup and got a 425b stove a 220f and. 200a lantern to go with my 220b lantern and 530 pocket stove that i already had thanks to grandpa. Im ready to take my 2 year son camping!! Pumped up more than a coleman lantern. Okay that was a tad nerdy.
thank you for the very detailed instruction. Haven't used a stove like this in many years but just got a beautiful 425 so needed to brush up on starting Many thanks
This is something I would have asked my dad about, but he passed away a few years ago. Thank you very much for filling in for him. I was going to go buy a brand new one, but my roommate has an old kerosene one in the basement. I figured I would at least search UA-cam for an instruction video before buying a new one.
Im a visual learner, i usually have to re-read directions and get frustrated sometimes, especially when the directions are not very descriptive. Thank you for the video, now I dont have to mess around with figuring this thing out on my own. Many commenters helped too.
I have a similar, but older model of this stove. I liked your video very much. Three additional tips:
I just brought one yesterday,I didn’t know if I wanted propane or the gas , I’m new at this so when I read the comments I feel good about purchasing it, thank you for explaining how to start it up .
Love these stoves. I had mine for 20 yrs. Its been on camping trips and thrugh 3 major power outages. I just hope it lasts another 20 yrs
Thank you so much for this. The oiling of that rubber gasket made all the difference.
Bought a Coleman 413g from a garage sale for $2.00. Guy said it hadn't been used in 35 years, but after I oiled the leather gasket, I got sufficient pressure and she fired right up (and had half a tank of fuel)! Thanks a ton for the tips.
Thank you for the thorough video. As simple as it may look, there's always good tips to use that you provided. Greatly appreciated. 👍🏼
Thank you brother. My father in law has one from when his mom bought it used at a garage sale over 40 years ago and I’m in the process of restoring it a little. My wife and I will be using one of these (the earlier models) to cook while on our way up to Alaska from Nc. Should be a blast!
Love it. My first one is from around 1980 and I still have it. Subbed to see more
Last year I picked up a Coleman 2 burner camp stove 413E at a thrift shop for $5. Looked brand new like nobody had ever used it. Brought it home and rinsed out the fuel tank, filled it with fuel and got both burners to light easily. Pretty dang good score for a brand new stove for $5. Later last year I was back in the same thrift store and they had another stove in there, a 3 burner model this time 426C, you could tell it had been lightly used maybe a couple times. Picked it up for $15, it works great as well.
