Coleman Propane Cooking Stove

This is a Coleman Propane Cooking Stove.

It's a two burner camp stove that uses 1 lb propane tanks for it's heat source.You can also by an adapter stove and run this off a 20lb or a 100lb tank also.I used this one in my garage also.

It's a good durable stove and the stove itself I have no complaints about.They last for ever,and you can always count on it working as long as you have some fuel.

Some people wonder if they should go with the propane stove.Or use the fuel stove.

It's all a matter of preference,and they all have their good points.

Neither type of fuel effects the food taste.It comes down if a person wants to haul in a can of fuel to their camp spot,or if they want to carry in some one pound pots of propane etc.

With propane you just screw the tank on firmly and it's good to go.

With fuel you have to use a small funnel and fill the stove tank,and then give it 50 small hand pumps etc.

Propane burns a little cleaner,but like I said a person don't know that because the fuel stove burns so clean.A blind folded test you wouldn't know what stove is being used.I think you get my point.

Going with the fuel stove is cheeper.A lot of the stores sell those 1lb propane tanks to expensive for my blood.So buy them in bulk,and I think Mills Fleet Farm is the best place to buy them.Shop around for them.

BUT..you can use this tank with a 20lb tank if you have a hose adapter,so thus propane is just as cheep as using fuel then.I know this sounds confusing,just pointing out budget options of the cost of operating these coleman cook stoves.

For example ...Say I was camping for a whole week.What Coleman Stove would be cheeper to operate considering fuel costs?...Propane Vs Fuel.

The fuel stove would be cheeper,than a person who purchased 1lb propane tanks for their stove.UNLESS they purchased propane in 20lb tanks.As I mentioned earlier they charge an arm & a leg for those 1 pound propane pots.Having your 20 pound propane tank filled is way cheeper than buying those one pound disposable propane pots.The technical term is cylinders,but I call them pots.

It all comes down to preference.

One great thing about the coleman propane camping stoves is one don't have to worry about packing fuel,or smelly fuel containers.So where ever the stove is packed,it won't leak,and it won't create fumes..and cause fuel odor on your gear.

The fuel stoves should be transported empty if all possible,or kept flat when transporting.I have a plastic storage container specifically for the stove and the fuel.This is the only thing that I use for transporting the coleman fuel stoves.I don't pack that stove in with my cloths,tent,or sleeping bag,nor with the food.So if you go with the fuel stove.Look around for a good plastic tote,or storage container to keep it in.

Another thing I'd like to point out..is propane is heavier bringing in than fuel.The tanks themself weigh enough even empty.But on the other hand if you're just camping a night,or two..Then a couple one pound propane tanks aint no hassle at all.

Both stoves burn hot...The fuel stove may burn hotter,but these stoves don't need to be turned up on high.Unless you boiling huge pots of water for spaghetti.

I do believe though you can retain a higher/hotter burning temperature with the fuel stove,but then once again I could be wrong..and a full 20lb tank of propane would give a run for the money with the fuel stove.Pressure wise you can always keep pumping up the fuel stove..and even near empty get a super hot flame..Propane tanks when they lose pressure getting low..don't burn as hot then.

The main thing is..this is nothing to worry about,because even when the Coleman Propane Stove is nearing empty on propane.I can still cook anything..boil anything..accomplish anything.
