I hear what ya saying bro, I'm 56 and I've accumulated a nice collection of different models . Coleman fuel white gas is nothing more than naptha, available at hardware stores sometimes cheaper. Gasoline will do in a pinch but you'll have a maintenance cleaning more often. Just don't leave Gasoline in the tank packed away and a little Seafoam additive does wonders to keep carbon cleaned out of the generator. I really enjoyed this video and glad to see you put such emphasis on emergency low tech. Now get the Coleman folding oven box to go on top and it's biscuits and gravy time any time😮💪!

Nice work! Unlike a lantern, you open the valve all the way on these when you light them. Some instruction say "at least 2 full turns, but the result is the same. Set your lighter to the burner and open it quickly. Lighting lever up restricts the fuel pickup, but not all the way. This forces air from the top of the tank down to where the pickup is mostly blocked at high velocity and atomizes the fuel into a mist that comes back up in inner tube, through the valve and generator and into the mixing chamber where more air leans out the mixture so it will burn relatively cleanly until the generator is hot enough to vaporize the fuel. If you don't open the main valve enough on startup, air volume and velocity are insufficient to atomize the fuel and you flood the generator and get yellow flames. Claims that the lever only allows tank air and vapors into the generator are incorrect. Those vapors are nowhere near rich enough to burn after going through the mixing chamber and picking up additional air. Liquid fuel atomization at the bottom of the fuel/air tube/fuel pickup is the key to the instant lighting process. This is why plenty of pressure and quickly opening the valve at least 2 FULL turns is needed for clean lightups. As soon as it lights, start pumping again. About one pump per second until the generator is hot and the blue flames start pulsing and jumping off the burner. This indicates the fuel is vaporizing and the mixture is now too lean because too much air is being introduced into the generator. Flip the lever down and you are ready to rock and roll. Give it a try and see what you think. The abbreviated version of this is on the lid.

The lighting lever when up blocks off the liquid in the tank and allows the vapor from the top of the tank to pass through the hole at the top so you can light the stove. After about a minute, you can turn the lever down once the generator is warm enough to vaporize the fuel. The lever is not a cleaning rod, like on a lantern.

Hey Jessie - Sorry about your experience. FYI, we did have a couple of production batches in 2023 that had bonding durability issues (compared to our standards). While they passed our QA testing, the 2 production batches had some bonding issues that didn't hold up to the real-world durability that we typically strive for. We're always looking to improve, and we've found a way to improve the bonding strength by 90%, by using a much stronger cement-glue & higher quality toe-cap material. This is a rolling change we've started this spring, and moving forward all of our production will have this much improved strength for durability. I just wanted you to know that we have worked to improve this - so we hope you have confidence getting Kujo's in the future. Also - Just wanted to make sure every knows that we do have a 1 year warranty - so we'll take care of anyone who had this issue....

Ya man I feel ya. I've had two pairs so far. The first pair (2023) separated in the instep like 4 months in. Kujo gave me a new pair, but those separated too at about the 6 month mark. Both leaked inside the first month of wear. Gotta say I'm about done with kujo

I have no oil Pressure. hate to take it to the shop, but might have too. any ideas?

I agree with what you are saying. We use these lamps when we lose power here in the west. .Just a little suggestion, add more oil to the base so the wick can draw more oil up. That wick should not be burning that fast. Enjoyed the video.

Are they true to size? Ive heard issues about them running narrow. Could just be people with wide feet but just wondering?

The goose was taking a gander around the power lines. I am in Southern Texas. I have a tri-fuel portable generator that I run on natural gas (no carburetor problems). When power is off, I connect it to my electric panel via the generator power inlet box. If I know the power will be out for only a few hours and it is not summer, my alternate is to connect a power station (with an extension battery) to the same inlet box.

I took my 432A stove out today filled it with gas and pumped the daylights out of it. Lit it expecting to see the usual 2 foot high yellow flame before the generator warms up. Nope just blue yellow small flames till it warmed up. This stove cost me 15 bucks and works wonderfully .Yes I took it apart and cleaned , sanded , painted , and filled it with gas , but no parts required to fix it! So as it was getting that blue flame I pumped it some more and set my Coleman oven on top. 10+ minutes later it was at 350° and in went a loaf of bread and 22 minutes later done. The stove was on low most of the time and just adjusted to keep the temperature at 350. I could have put my coffee pot on the other burner as there is lots of room. Hmmmn middle rack and still burnt the bottom. So from what I have read I need something on the floor of the oven to distribute the heat better. BTW it was sprinkling out as I was baking! Lots of these on Facebook marketplace and some people have really greedy prices but generally a working Coleman stove is around 15-35 bucks.

Great video! I was lucky to get a 426B in Germany, restored it and now it works perfect! Keep up the videos and post an update of those Colemans soon!

its a silent k, americans please stop trying to pronoucn all of the silbles of the word. lmao they are called NIP EX

What's in the box?

There will be no eggs laid tonight. GO LIONS!

You'd need a ladder to fill/refill?

people its 6in sdr 35....not 4in dwv...but it would still cost you 75bucks for mat

I really like the idea of a screw under the bottom to help hold it up plus screwing the straps to the tree. Easiest setup I've seen yet. Good stuff. Will be trying this out.

I went and picked up the supplies from home depot, cost me a little over $100. FJB

idk where you’re getting your PVC but a 4” 10’ schedule 40 is $40 now

I might paint my next one with woods type Colors. I’m an Automotive Painter. There’s a process to use a plastic cleaner and adhesion promoter. Tough as nails when done correctly. I also like to pull off leaves, branches etc and hold against the pipe after a couple Colors are applied then hit them with Color. Looks like real tree, tapes fine, but pricey in Canada..

Did exactly as you described! I’m a handy guy and expected to improve it somehow, but didn’t need too. Thanks!

Hi Jesse thanks for Subscribing to my channel! Are you still building yours?

Got the same mower , fuses are melting or getting hot and mower dies, any thoughts.

This series is exactly what I have been looking for!

Have two of the same bar stools from the same retailer. Thanks for the video, but those are channel lock pliers.

Need to change your oil when gas comes out the exhaust

Hey Jesse... loved the video! We are looking at doing some chickens as well.

Great video, thanks for subscribing.

Now show me how you fill it

Answer me por favor

Yo

Jesse I am having a hard time finding the exact carb. Where did you buy the replacement carb?

Nice job! Thanks for sharing. Gives me some ideas for my coop I will be building

The music... custom or someone else??

We are avid listeners of Dangerous Info! Nice to see you at your place over in Michigan. Being able to get outside and do all of that is very therapeutic. From KellieT (guilded) Kellie and Jason- Salem, OR

Snow was weak son!!

Good stuff pal it looks great

Looking good Jesse...I wish I had a yard with no HOA.

Check out that elbow repair on that yard clean up trailer!!🤙🏻🤙🏻

"Let me stand next to your fire"✌️

If you don't give the animals a chance to escape it's winner winner chicken dinner.

Not really sure how you all are still getting plumbing supplies for under $50😂 just the wye alone is at least $30 and that’s for 4in pipe…😢

How do you keep it from filling with snow or freezing?

How come you didn't show the challenges of taping the Y?

We need that cold chief

You're an inspiration fam!! Keep at it!! ✌️&💚

Get er done!!
