Coleman Sportster Unleaded 533 Stove - Best Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- Coleman have been selling petrol/gasoline stoves for many years now. We take the single burner Sportster Unleaded 533 beyond the usual test environment and take it out into the field to test it properly.
In this review we use the Coleman filter funnel to fill the stove. This is NOT included with the stove and if you want one, then it must be purchased separately.

Finally! Someone using this stove in the field, and not just for boiling water. I use this stove for all my cooking when camping and have found it to be very versatile. Thank you for this review.
Excellent video , informative and entertaining, I need a stove !
Great Review!
Awesome Scenery and food.
I own more than 10 Coleman Stoves and have yet to purchase a 533.
It will be on my list.
Thank you.
Note. Its common that people that give a poor or negative reply, are consistent with this attitude. Sorry you had to deal with such. DPS
Had mine 20 years when I camp out fishing still going strong ,only maintenance I do is 3 in 1 oil on the plunger, once a year to stop it wearing out
Don't pump while hot stuff is on a stove . Asking for disasters about to happen .
Is that how you got your name? :D
the funnel also acts as a fuel fill level, it allows for air space in the tank so you get a good constant pressure.
Good to know
Nice review ! We've always loved the Coleman Sportster 533 here in Australia too. Great looking breakfast!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Great explanation and overview, beautiful places too.
Glad you liked it. We love this little stove, even more so now that we are hearing it may have been discontinued.
That was a very informative video and beautiful video. Thank you for posting.
The Irish Breakfast Pack looks really good. Beautiful scenery. Good stove review, thank you.
Thank you very much. It was missing some Scottish Lorne sausage! :D
I've had one of these for, well, decades, lol. Used to be my go to stove. Kinda got put away for years, until I started overlanding last year. The versatility of these stoves is amazing. So much so, that when I went searching for a two burner, I picked up an old Coleman 425E off Ebay, for $30. Same fuel type, which makes it easy.
These stoves are dead simple too. Nothing to break, only the generator to foul (and thats after DECADES of use, if ever). Occasionally replace a pump cup or o ring. Works with white gas, or simple motor fuel-making it extremely easy to find fuel.
No leftover canisters to dispose of. No excess waste. Works in all temps. For car camping/overlanding/base camping, these old workhorses cant be beat!!!
Thanks for sharing your story. Its great to hear the passion for these products. SO little environmental impact compared to those disposable canisters that are all the rage these days.
Great video! I love Coleman lanterns and stoves! I pick them up at antique , resale shops, flea markets. I’m currently using a lantern from 1959 and two dual burner stoves from 1963!!!!
Great review. Looking for an alternative cooking system to gas. Love the video.
Thanks Gerry. Being able to use petrol or coleman fuel or Aspen means you're never going to have an issue obtaining fuel.
Great review. I've used LPG gas for years and now I'm converted to these. I'm in Australia and managed to get my hands on some of these recently, they are becoming increasingly rare to come by. Thank you for your efforts 😊
This is so effing sketchy. There are people watching this video who don’t know anything about this stove and yet they will not find out how to fill it properly, how much fuel is too much. Why too much fuel doesn’t allow enough air to remain in the tank and be pressurized by the pump. How many times to pump it initially, etc. a really shoddy review
Can you get better than that? You'd be struggling, a 533 and 424 together, that's a solid combination. Thank you for sharing.
Hi.
Great informative vid. Are these good for wild camping?
Thank you. Yes they are awesome for wild camping.
ha had mine nearly 30 years, just found you can still buy pump spares and found a shop in dingle, kerry thar a) still has the 2 stoves listed and b) sell spares.
Boudain for breakfast. Try it. You'll like it. Mild or hot, it's all good.
Nice video! Thank you for sharing.
Great video mate. All that fatty fried meat and you drink low fat milk? LOL
I really love my 533 its very easy care. Value of money. But i use only white gas.
Love your kettle
Thanks, we made a video it too!! ua-cam.com/video/QMe6aXr6LsE/v-deo.html&ab_channel=DonegalOverlanding
I've never seen a case for the stove before, really neat!
Really good video😎
Eggs, Canadian bacon , homemade fresh bread , orange pekoe tetly tea and canned beans.
That sounds delicious!
@@DonegalOverlanding Thank you and by the way great review and now I am going to purchase the 533.
Trade you the beans for some milk gravy.
Take me with you
Wow... you actually cook instead of just boiling water.
Been using propane all my life but I'm thinking of switching to petrol. Just curious...
1. How often do you clean the generator?
2. Do you empty the fount or just leave the leftover petrol in there?
3. How's the flame control for simmering?
Where can I buy this beautiful kettle? Love the design
Its the Petromax TK-1 kettle. A beautiful stainless steel design. We put a short review of it on our channel.
I have the same kit. One Coleman 424 dual burner, one Coleman 533 Sportster-here in Texas.
In my morning “fry up”? I’d include some eggs with those sausages, and a pot of coffee.
Bacon, fried egg, sausage, black pudding, fried bread, plum tomatoes.
I love how the dog looked quite disappointed when he realised the sausages were not for him 🤣🤣🤣🤣
i go camping with a 12in cast iron pan. think it can hold up my pan without a problem. pan is about 4lbs
Hellfire loose the stupid music
Thats a hard no, we will keep the music, and we would add even more in the future!
Update, bacon was good perfectly! 👌👍🏻
I have a 533, which is great as I do what you do, but in a 45 year old Peugeot J7. I use a Coleman 442 doing the same thing on my motorbike, as it's a little more compact. I can carry a 1ltr bottle of unleaded on the bike, useful for cooking and if I run out of fuel. I also take a trangia/firebox setup for a second flame, but where I am in France, there's an open fire ban most summers. Loved the video, as I'm a boat owner too😊
We have used ours on our motorbike too, just not shown in the video. Its a great little stove ready for all adventures!
The 533 has very poor flame control, which is the only good reason to use a big bulky heavy Coleman stove in the first place.
I have no problem adjusting it up or down. Maybe you need to learn how to use it properly. Its also not the only reason to use what you describe as a big bulky Coleman stove, there are many.
@@DonegalOverlanding You were lucky. The 533 stove has notoriously poor flame control.
Don’t pump to much pressure in it then you can simmer pump it up solid and it want simmer works on pressure,been using them for over 20 years only replaced the generator once due to clogging up ,they are bulletproof beats lugging gas cans about £3 of fuel last me a week .
@@jamesdunsmore5318 I will give that a try, but mostly my 533 is retired because of poor flame control. Other Coleman stoves like the 508, 400A, and 503 have so much better flame control that it isn't worth messing with the 533.
@@explorermike19
Nonsense. The 533 has notoriously unskilled users, and MANY of them. If you keep the pricker clean by rotating the lever through its full range of motion several times-whether when lit or not-it will scrape away anything preventing smooth movement. After doing that, I’ve been able to lower the flame down to a simmer. Without wind, it will stay at a simmer. A strong wind will blow a simmer flame out unless you use a wind screen.
amazing
Great video. Personally I prefer to use white gas in Coleman stoves. It burns cleaner so you have less maintenance to do on them. Don't get me wrong, I have used gasoline before its just not my preferred choice. But it is cheaper since it's a dirtier fuel.
I cannot disagree with you on that, its how the majority will use it though, with unleaded.
Does the smell / taste of kerosene transfers to the food being cooked?
None at all, otherwise we wouldnt use it.
Gasoline and kerosene are not the same thing. Kerosene is essentially very clean diesel. White gas/Coleman fuel is low octane unleaded gasoline.
What’s the burn time on a full fill?
What size of frying pan are you using on the 533 stove ?🏴
9" frying pan
Got both the sportster and the double burner, and the shetland boat to boost, cracking vid, loving using all 3 here in Scotland on Loch awe
You have fine taste!
Watched your lovely video on a cold November day, made me feel like getting the Coleman stoves out of the shed and cooking tea in the garden!
I hope you done it too!
Hi just discovered your channel. Loving it. I have a vintage vw and explore the Highlands and Islands most weekends, weather permitting. Been looking at a gasoline stove for backup. Can you tell me if you find the heat controllable... I've heard petrol stoves run very hot and are only good for booking water. It's to carry for a plan b when my gas and charcoal for COBB run out. Always easy to get petrol.
Thanks x
You can turn it right down without much issue. Sometimes if its super low, it can make a strange popping sound and blow itself out, so for ultra low simmering its not amazing. That is true of most stoves though, even LPG stoves. Aside from that, it is controllable and its certainly not full power or nothing.
Great video! How long does the fuel in the single and duel burner stoves last respectively? Thus, how do you plan to take enough fuel?
Not sure, never measured. We have a small 5 litre metal jerry can that we have filled with petrol. It lasts a very very long time. That 5 litres would last us a year!
Hiya, just looking at Chinese knockoffs, which may well be false economy. In your experience, do you have to dismantle the 533 much to clean pipes or jets from gunge? Lovely vid BTW. Donegal is lovely (when it's dry!)
I have not had to clean any of our Coleman Dual Fuel stoves yet. If you burn them on high every now and again all deposits are burnt.
Okay, but how well does it function on the Colman Fuel?
No idea, we have never used it. Its not widely available up here in Donegal, if its available at all, and its more expensive. So no reason for us to even look at it.
How much fuel should you put in the tank ?
We fill it about 70%. You need to leave some space for the air.
@@DonegalOverlanding cool !! Thanks dude!!
My brand new 533 won't burn blue on gasoline , I'm returning it
Sounds like there is too much water in the gasoline. Try to get ethanol-free, if you can find it. Otherwise, get the lowest octane gasoline you can find (white gas/Coleman fuel is 50 octane). You can also add an automotive water remover like HEET, denatured alcohol, or methylated spirits.
Thanks for the useful video. Pity about the dreadful noise (music??) in the background.
Thanks for sharing. I have a 400a that I mess around with, bought new around 1985. Btw, I had ancestors come to America from Donegal county around 1760. His name was James Herbert Gallaher. His wife was Tobrina Williams Gallaher and they settled in east Tennessee.
The connection between the Celtic nations and US/Canada are long, we can thank England for that!
Great video!
If you can get one of the old primus stoves cheap somewhere they i personally feel are better though as a new option this is the best
Why do you feel it is better?
@@DonegalOverlanding well you can pick them up for £25 at car boots or on ebay and they dont have to be filled with petrol which always gives me a bit of a shiver as petrol burns a lot easier than paraffin, which is quite hard to accidentally ignite
AND WHAT DO YOU THINK MAKES A PETROL STOVE CHUG LIKE A TRAIN ?? ALSO IS THERE AN OVER PRESSURE RELEASE IN THE COLEMAN OR IS THIS NOT POSSIBLE ??
If you over pressure it, the blue jets push out further from the burner. It doesn't happen now as you can easily feel when you are putting in too much pressure as you feel the resistance when you are pumping it. If you do over pressure it, you can just release the fuel cap and the air will all come out in a second. Or if you have just over pressured it a small amount, you can leave the air/fuel mix lever in the up position, that means more air in the mix which means the pressure will drop quicker. Once the pressure has dropped enough turn the fuel mix back to normal. It is really straight forward, just get one and then be happy you did!
Does using unleaded fuel not clog up the generator eventually do you use unleaded in both stoves
It does but you can clean out the generator fairly easily
We have only ever used unleaded in both stoves and they both still work several years later.
I'm planning to get one of these later for my camping trips. As it's quite heavy by hiking standards (~1kg) I think it'll be more suited for car camping, or if I'm hiking in a small group & we want to split equipment between teammates.
Also, I hear using Coleman fuel/white gasolene/shellite is cleaner than petrol & you'll have less problems with a blocked generator...
I wonder if kerosene can be used if you preheat the generator tube..?
kersone can be used but it will gunk it right up.....
gasoline gunks it too but after a few dozen+ solid uses but is the most cost effective way to go, add some injector cleaner and it gunks up way slower.
they're heavy and you likely won't be carrying liquid gas backpacking, so you may as well get the 2 or 3 burner (can make coffee + cook). The benefit of the 2 and 3 burner ones too is that the generator is completely straight so cleaning them even if they get dirty literally takes 3 minutes!!! so using gas is a why not
I know this is old, but, my experience, using regular gas, you will still get years of use out of it without the generator getting all clogged up. I have heard of people brake cleaner to clean out the generator, but, honestly, its a $10 part, and not hard to source. Best to pick up a backup when you can, and just swap it out as needed, while the clogged one sits in brake cleaner overnight
I want that storage case! Ugh
I think we put ours in the bin, we have never used it., You can buy them though. www.ereplacementparts.com/carry-case-p-1759070.html
SIR THEY SAID IT WAS ABOUT 25 P PER HOUR TO RUN BUT I TAKE IT THIS WAS WITH EXPENSIVE COLEMAN FUEL AND AT FULL POWER OR COULD YOU GIVE AN IDEA ??
Hi, I would be making it up if I gave you a figure. Have never even looked at it because it is so cheap it is not something we would think about. Petrol is currently around €1.45 per litre in Ireland, so you're going to get hours of burn time for that small sum.
thanks for the honesty . has any ever blew out or could a brass gas genarator fail and burn through with
over heating? if or tank gets to warm ect ? or can live flames get into tank ?is there no one way return flash valve fitted ? if so what can causes it apart from leaks . i here horror stories here about they can go pop and bust into flames i dont know if its a joke as all cookers bust into flames i guess to work but i was just fond of the colman as it is more silent and did not roar like a jet engine hence i run them all very low for saftey and noise . or is is mabe better to buy a seperate more modern fuel bottle cooker unit for some eco heat in a large tent with a top vent ?
@@jonneilsmyth9107 Im not sure about the valves or anything like that. I can tell you that we have used numerous Coleman stoves over the years, as have many of our friends and Ive not heard of any explosions or anything like that. The tank does not get even slightly warm.
That thing is a POS even after 5 min it only makes large yellow soot producing flame. They probably provide modified product to these review shills. The stove direct from them does not work and is a absolute waste of money.
You seem very angry my good man. Relax and enjoy the beautiful views instead. We bought the stove and created the review ourselves. We have several of these Coleman stoves, as do the majority of our friends. The yellow sooty flame you speak of is user error. So don't blame the stove because you are not operating it properly. The good thing about "yellow flames" is that these stoves can be bought very cheaply because many others also failed to open the instruction manual and follow the very basic steps on how to use the stove, and put them up for sale.
@@DonegalOverlanding My apologies for the shill part. Most of these tube reviews are done by shills. I did in fact follow the instructions. Fill level surface, close cap tight, pump with valve open a good 30 times turn lever over to light position etc... I have been using camp stoves for over 40 years so have a clue how to run one. This recent one from Coleman does not work as they are made now. They are large yellow soot flame junk.
@@scotts.2624 you will have carbon build up in the generator. It can build up easily if you have been simmering for a long time and then turn off the stove. To prevent it, before you turn off the stove, turn the heat up full and when its glowing red it will have all burnt off making relighting next time you use it easy. If you have it built up already and cannot be bothered dismantling it to clean the generator, or to replace the generator, just get a blow torch,/chef's torch and heat the generator before lighting, it will work straight away.
By the way we used the stove yesterday for the first time in months and it started perfectly straight away. Follow us on instagram and you can see the last post was a small video showing it in use.
@@DonegalOverlanding Its new out of the box.
Donde venden en España estas Coleman?
Amazon por Espana
a new post on an older review.Do you find any downsides to unleaded compared to "coleman" fuel or white spirits
We have not found any. Some have claimed that white/coleman fuel lasts longer unused as its more stable, however so far, and its been a few years, we have not encountered any problems.
@@DonegalOverlanding there have been some comments that the petrol is dirtier than white spirits clogging the generator?
@@pauls4708 we use a chef torch to light it. We heat the generator for about 20 seconds prior to turning on the stove fuel, straight to blue, the heat burns off any deposits that may be in the generator.
@@DonegalOverlanding i got my brand new 533(Old stock i guess) delivered the other day complete wiht the little funnel
Thank you spot on review matey from yorkshire
Youre very welcome!
What is the name of fuel
Prizes of the stove
I need one
It used either unleaded 95-98 RON petrol (gasoline) or COleman White Fuel.
Horrible music, never do That agai, please
We will do it over and over because we make the videos and we get to decide what music to use. We notice that you have not made any content on your channel. So here is an invitation for you, go and create some original content, get some music on there that every person on the planet loves and then come back and tell us that you were wrong to criticise when instead you should be doing something positive in life. We have little time for people that whinge and complain that have contributed nothing themselves.
