Cool Canadian.. just finished a 73 sears ..the tank was very varnished.. put some Berrymans carb in and 12 hrs later; brand new.. the only Canadian model I have is a 576 stove. But they sure are cool. Keep up the good work. 😊

I purchased a second stove set with a smaller fuel tank and the apex 1 stove but it does not have the feet kit or the fuel plug for the stove. I also ordered a stand alone stove in well used condition I may try and adapt a whisperlite hose onto to use with an MSR pump.

@Jon_Flys_RC
@Jon_Flys_RC Күн бұрын
@ looking at it they don’t seem to sell those parts. The hose and generator are all crimped together. I may buy a parts stove to sacrifice it. If I can sweat or braze the MSR generator into the hose plug on the apex stove then the MSR bottle will only have to provide the pressurized fuel and the Coleman generator and control valve will still do all the work. IMO the apex is a better stove than the whisperlite, but not nearly as compact for travel.
@Jon_Flys_RC
@Jon_Flys_RC Күн бұрын
It’s a shame the apex was missing the debris plug from the stove socket. I did notice rather quickly the pump has a very different feel to the pump with it running in a plastic housing. The way the pump over pressures and releases the relief valve feels different from a stand alone stove or lantern.

Nice find, great stove. I've used these for decades. Some tips: Follow the instructions on the bottle. Resist the urge to bend the hose down parallel with the bottle when storing. That bend is THE number one failure mode of this system. The hose is easily replaces if you're careful removing the brass ferrules. When set up for use, the plastic nozzle cover fits in the socket on the pump and the stove plug fits into the nozzle cover to keep from losing them, getting them dirty, or melting the nozzle cover when cooking. DO NOT LEAVE THE PLASTIC COVER NEAR THE STOVE WHILE RUNNING IT. Don't ask me how I know this. Use the storage hole. The unique hose connection is that way to make it easy to use with gloves or mittens. Put a little silicone grease on the plug to save the o ring in the valve. The valve on the stove is for flame adjustment only, it is not a shutoff. Open it fully when instant lighting for fast warmup. You should be ready to cook in about 10 or 20 seconds. These will tend to chug a bit on high. That's normal. Like all Colemans, these like lots of pressure. The valve on the pump should be off until ready to light and used to shut down the stove. The little black elbow on the long tube on the pump is where the tiny fuel pickup orifice is located. This meters the fuel and allows the instant lighting feature to work. Air is taken from the top of the bottle and atomizes the fuel in the elbow. Once back pressure from fuel vaporization occurs it slows the flow and stops the air from being introduced. When the tank gets really low, you will notice the flame leaning out intermittently and may require more frequent pumping. These will run on kerosene, Coleman(recommended) or good fresh ethanol free pump gas. You need the kerosene generator to run kerosene well and it requires a manual preheat. When you find generators for these get them. They can be cleaned fairly easily though. Let me know if you don't know how. Hope this helps

I lucked out back in 2020 after stopping at a garage sale. I didn't see any lanterns so I asked like I always do and I told by the seller that he had several old lanterns that I could buy for $10 a piece. And one of those was a Coleman 275 in an unopened box. Me personally not wild about 275 lanterns I begrudgingly paid the money and was extremely surprised when I came home. Upon inspection of this 275 it indeed was brand new and also had the white picket globe that was also fluted. I guess a guy does get lucky occasionally!
