10 years old and still timeless information like this stove! Thank you. Hope you are doing well now. Hard to believe what we all have been through since you filmed this video.😊

[@gilbertlopez8285]

It's been 50+ years since I used a Coleman stove.Nice to refresh the gray matter after all those years. Thanks for the memories.😨

[@wayman29]

It's me 4 years later! I got that 428 I'm finally going to take camping for an old time cookout. Thanks again for this showing the safety! It was a good refresher as I only ran a test with it before.

[@tom10720]

I just received my first brand new Coleman 414 today. Most of my camping gear is surplus. I appreciate your video. Reading the instructions and also watching a video helps I think. So, thank you. Helped a lot.

[@maryhoffer7990]

Was gifted a used Coleman last year. This video was very helpful being that mine didn’t come with instructions! Using the stove for the first time this weekend on my camping trip! Thank you for sharing!

[@dirkayala5812]

I picked one of these up for a buck earlier this summer. Never had used one and today I tried firing it up but was off quite a bit on how to start. Definitely appreciate this video as I should do a lot better next time I try...Thanks Alot!

[@mjallenuk]

Excellent work ... Coleman should pay your for your efforts on this one! Really made clear a lot of the twaddle that's out there and my enjoyment of my coleman stove vs lugging gas bottles about is complete! The only difference is I use Aspen4 fuel which makes the 424 an utter dream... Once again... cheers chap

[@totallyfrozen]

Wow. Your stove looks so new and pretty. I remember when mine looked like that. I don’t even know where the dents came from in my stove, nor the rust. LOL! Still works perfectly, though. I happen to use a regular wooden match (1-3/4”). Once you’ve pressurized the tank and turned the valve lever up, you put the lit to the burner (with your hand to the side of the burner, not above it), then open the valve a couple turns and it should light safely. It’s riskier and I could get burned, but I never have. LOVE these stoves! VERY, VERY hot. I brought 8 cups of water to boil in a coffee percolator in 6 minutes!

[@smacdiesel]

Great instructional, so glad I watched this!

[@littlebull8881]

Great guide my friend, mine arrives Monday ready to be racked onto my Land Rover for the UK tour

[@cillaloves2fish688]

Watched this again... Good refresher!

[@wayman29]

Thanks! You saved my hair! I inherited one of these stoves from my late mother-in-law who passed not to long ago. I love coleman and vintage items for camping and read about how unleaded gas could be used. I never used a pressurized canister before so I watched this video. Thanks a lot! I will now get some coleman fuel and watch it once more before attempting.my first try out. There were loads of things I might have missed. I'm sure my wife would not want another fire in the garage!

[@InteliGear]

Glad to pass it on. I have not seen any vids on Y.T. that really explained the ins and outs very well. Thats why I decided to make this vid. Thank You for letting me know how much you appreciated the vid! It made my day! Oh and fire is never a good thing when it's in the garage lol. Be Well Friend... InteliGear.

Your tutorial video was awesome. Very through and well communicated. I have all other types, and i might have to add this type to my garage.

[@semperfi-1918]

Finally got one of the duel fuel stoves. Have the other older ones needing some tlc but still work.

[@williamhamala2651]

Thanks for the Video... i just ordered my 424 and can not wait to try it out!

[@redesigndiva2331]

You got my thumbs up at insertion of correct funnel position! Thank you so much! Also, loved the train in the background I love train noise very calming to me...This was so very thorough all the way to depressurizing the lines. Thank you again!

[@RenoLaringo]

It's not correct. The correct way is to keep the tank horizontal with the filler opening facing you, not the sky. This is how it's supposed to be filled with the bevelled funnel.

[@Thereal111t]

I love my coleman stoves! Nice instructional video. All of mine are the more vintage models with the older style fuel tank. With the filler port exposed on the left side top. The closest one to yours that I have is a 425e... But it's basically the same thing. (Except coleman fuel only). I only run coleman anyway. As far as versatility, I keep one of those propane adapters around. Century makes it I think. I like the coleman fuel better, but in an emergency it's nice to have the option. It's just a tube that slides into the stove in place of the generator and has a 1lb propane regulator on the outside of the stove housing.

[@miguelatambucho748]

Great vid. Thanks man!

Meanwhile... I've already cooked a fry up on my trusty swedish trangia stove.. I'm just teasing this was a good Video. .. thanks for sharing

[@nickv4073]

Nice video. Always wanted to know how these dual fuel Colemans work. After watching your video, I still prefer the 16 oz bottle Colemans. I have an adapter that lets me refill the empty 16 oz bottles from my 20 lb propane tank so cost is very cheap .

[@joeengland3655]

my dad handed all his Coleman stuff down to me. he has a really old Coleman lantern that has a pretty cool story. he was fishing with his uncle and the lantern fell in the lake, he thought it was gone for good. he was fishing the same spot a couple years later and fished up the lantern. he let it dry out and replaced the filament i guess and it worked, and it still works today. i thought that was pretty amazing.

thank you!!

[@Moroni108]

Thanks for the video!! Just for info, you did light the second burner. It was easier for us to see, it's just the flame was so perfect and blue it was invisible to you.... She lights up like a champ. These stoves are so incredibly awesome!! Love my original, bought two more, near mint condition. I couldn't believe that I found one just like yours in Walmart on sale, new for 40 bucks!! What also makes these stove so awesome, is the fact there might be some very regulated cooking you may want to perform... these stove make for good precision cooking!!! Everything about them is so darn cool!! An item one could easily find himself hording... where they say.. How did I end up with 13 Coleman 424 duel burner camp stoves!!! Or his wife says... "Just what in the heck do you intend on doing with all those dang stoves?? and where do you intend on keeping them???!!!" just kidding! :)

[@alanscott5942]

Died of dehydration whilst waiting for a drink 😁😁 Coleman fuel very expensive here in UK, hence why I have used unleaded in the past good video though nice clear explination 👍👍

[@edd1313]

Go to your nearest motor factors and ask for fast solvent degreaser/panel wipe it is the same as Coleman fuel but at a fraction of the price you will be looking at £10-£20 for 5 litres and you will get a cleaner burn hope it helps

[@nakoawarrior3186]

I got a Coleman stove at like 14 I still have it the fuel is from the 70's and it still works,.... Blue flame. Its a Coleman stove model 413 G made in 10 73. The gas fill is on top on the left hand side on the 413 G. Other than the gas cap they look the same. It's a great and dependable design. Mine has the lighting direction's on the inside back. It has a L shaped lighting lever that smooths out the flame.

[@marzsit9833]

coleman changed the location of the filler cap to make it difficult to remove while the stove is lit, which would be extremely dangerous.......

[@Californiafell]

You are confused. This is a stove not a lantern. The starter wire does not clean the generator, thats on a lantern. This opens a hole high in the tube that allows both fuel and pressuredized air to enter the generator so that it will burn. After the generator is heated it is not necessary to have this opened any longer. Fuel and air will mix in the air carb. It does not clean anything. Thats what happens in a lantern. If you take apart the stove you will see what I am referring to. Happy camping.

[@chocolategourmand]

This is correct. On stoves a counterclockwise turn of the valve stem extracts the pointed tip cleaner from the gas tip.

[@Nagap08]

Very good review I’m a new subscriber as of now.

[@MASONTRON1]

Just found one of these at a yard sale, thanks for teaching me how to use it! great video!

[@Subgunman]

What is the secondary fuel one can use with this stove. As for "dirty fuels" you can disassemble the generator and clean the spring and cleaning needle rod and needle with a towel soaked in a small amount of acetone. Take care in cleaning the needle move your cleaning cloth over the needle away from the rod where the needle is crimped on. Wipe down the support spring as well and don't forget to clean the inside of the generator tube. You can use a nylon tubular brush or if you are one that uses an AR15 you will hopefully have access to the "pipe cleaners" used for cleaning the gas tube. They do a good job folded over about 2 inches from the end, soaked in a solvent and inserted into generator tube and spinning it around to scrub out the tube. Dry all parts and reassemble and your all ready to go. Don't leave the generator dirty when you know you have used crappy fuels, do it as soon as you get back home from your camping trip.

[@reneesmith7860]

Thanks for your comment. I hv a vintage 425F and a friend has put unleaded gasoline in it. I have not lit it for the first time but its going camping with me this weekend. Is gas considered "dirty" fuel? Can I simply dump out the gas and replace it with Coleman fuel? He says in this vid to try to avoid using gasoline. Thanks

[@AlaskaPrepper]

Good video, thank you...

[@InteliGear]

Thanks and Thank You! Be Well Friend... InteliGear.

[@ianoloughnan9345]

+InteliGear so what I want to know is when turning off the stove I heard something about turning the lighting lever either up or down I can't remember and allowing it to burn leftover fuel out of the generator so when I'm turning off the stove what is the exact procedure what do 8 do with the lighting lever thanks

[@rgknowlton1]

Bob--It doesn't matter what position the lighting lever is in after you close the main shutoff valve because all fuel/air flow is cut off after closing the main shutoff valve. The lighting lever is a choke, of sorts, and controls the fuel/air mixture leaving the tank, running through the main shutoff valve, and into the generator. To shut down the stove, just close the main shutoff valve. Any remaining fuel vapor in the generator will continue to burn and even if it can no longer support a flame, the remaining vapor in the generator will slowly bleed off.

[@debraaurandt6379]

Burner doesn't really get that high inflamed and my secondary burner kind of flickers and sometimes goes out but it lights again. Should I let a burn for a while to make sure everything's cleared out but the secondary and I have it turned up all the way and I didn't get a flame that high

[@johncarrasquillo4429]

good thing.

[@fairclge]

any thought on how long the Coleman white gas will last once opened? Does it go bad?

[@soundsinspiringNL]

I haven't taken the time to look through all the comments but ! REPLACE OLD FUEL WHEN UNUSED FOR MORE THAN A FEW MONTHS ! I just recently had big problems with yellow flames and popping of the flame even extinguishing itself. After completely refreshing the fuel (automobile gas 95 octain) it's working perfectly ! Emptying the tank is not that easy as about a 3rd of the fuel remains in it when you try to tip it out. I used a plastic bottle with a small tube inserted in the cap to act as a suction pump to get ALL the fuel out.

[@larry0323]

Just wondering... wouldn't it be better to loosen the plunger instead of the fill cap when relieving the pressure to store the tank? Helps minimize the risk of spillage...

[@weldernate4860]

$40 at my local Walmart right now, think I should buy it?

[@ruthgreen8026]

Was it ok to leave unlead fuel in a pressurized tank. I cannot unpressurize it now. The pump knob doesn't turn left or right fully. Have only used it four times , not lighting and no sound of fuel traveling . Dos please help fix SOS!

[@cth0211]

i have an never used stove, it was tough the first firing up. after that I was more used to operating it.

[@InteliGear]

Don't ever get in a hurry and miss the plenum. Been there done that. Shyt really gets crazy.

[@BelloBudo007]

Hi from Australia. I've had one of these Coleman's for around 20 years & you have still managed to impart some great tips. I only wish I'd knew about 1/2 the stuff you're advising when I first kicked off. Oh well. Such is life eh? It's great that this stove can use unleaded. However the Coleman fuel doesn't blacken pots nearly as much with it's carbon output as does the unleaded petrol. Just a thought for others to way up. Great stove & a really good review and instructional video. Thanks again mate.

[@richardgrant6446]

Bill Blinky You shouldnt have any blackening of your pots. It sounds to me like oyu have the thing turned up to high. If its high you need to ensure there is plenty of pressure for it to burn cleanly. Do not put the pots on when the flame has just started and the generator has not had a chance to heat up yet. You will know its heated up properly when the flame turns from yellow to blue. With a blue flame there will no blackening on your pots at all. Ive used mine with 95 grade unleaded in the last house I was in. It was a rental house and I had 4 months without the normal gas range working, so I used my Coleman every single day inside the house. I just sat it on top of the normal cooker and kept the extractor on to remove the fumes from the house.

[@brautigan1]

Dual fuel is better flame and better cooking than propane in my experience.

[@papa54321]

My coleman stove 425 pop and the fire stop, I replaced the generator and same issue occure, the stove is brand new almost never used it.. I use camp fuel Help me please

[@kenp133]

How long a burn time do you get after pumped thoroughly?

[@MrB1zzle]

I just recently got a vintage one of these the COLEMAN 413G 2-BURNER CAMP STOVE--will it operate in the same way?

[@InteliGear]

MrB1zzle As far as I know Coleman white gas stoves all operate off the same principles. The only differences would be some generators are designed to use different fuels while others can only use one type. I have heard of people using gasoline in regular stoves meant only for white gas. The drawback is the generator will burnout / fail quicker or so I've heard. I owned an exponent stove that was dual fuel and had a separate generator for use with Kerosene. I default back to the manufacturers suggestions when in doubt. Hope that helps. Be Well Friend... InteliGear.

[@GUNZaBLAZE]

I don't have the Coleman funnel. Can I use another funnel?

[@br00ksy40]

Only use Aspen 4 fuel from local garden machinery centre in mine as it gives a nice clean burn with no smell and is half the price of Coleman fuel.

[@iforgotmyusername2]

my flame looks nothing like this... mine is yellow and it almost pulses... it says yellow persistent flame means there's a fuel leak but I do not see any fuel leak. do you have any idea why?

[@dannyh9010]

Often, spiders or other critters will build nests in the manifold. I ran a pipe cleaner through one I bough at a yard sale, and mud dauber wasps had completely plugged the manifold. Sometimes a blast of compressed air will clean it, but the pipe cleaner works better.

[@enhancedsimplicity9708]

How long does that full gas tank last if someone cooks twice per day 10-20 minutes each time ... wondering if one month is realistic on full tank

[@dadgad68]

Good tutorial. There is a generator adapter available for these stoves to also run on propane. Here in Canada it can be purchased from Princess Auto. Much like Tractor Supply in the U.S. Thanks for sharing.

[@danburch9989]

+dadgad68 Yes, they make them. I bought mine from Cabela's. I think that most well stocked camping supply stores would have them, maybe even big box discount stores too.

[@totallyfrozen]

Amazon has them online also.

[@jidoc4877]

Thanks for the video. What does the lighting lever do when it's in a certain position?

[@danburch9989]

+Jireh Climaco It makes the fuel/air ratio richer. Cold fuel doesn't burn as easily. When the generator is warmed up, the lighting lever is turned downward to lean out the fuel/air mixture. It's like a choke lever in a carburetor.

[@COIcultist]

@@danburch9989 I always thought it was the opposite way round and that in the upper position you are taking vapour from the top of the tank. Hence, after you switch to neat fuel once the vaporiser has reached temperature you have to re pressure because using vapour robbed the tank of pressure faster than taking neat fuel does.

[@floydvaughn836]

A good hack is to use a 12 oz. pop bottle WITH the funnel store fuel. 12 oz won't overfill; the tank holds 13.

[@MalevolantGuise]

When your done cooking and going to put the stove back in storage can you pour the unused fuel that's left in the tank back into the can with the rest of the fuel?

[@douglaslambert6109]

Good question I would like to know too.

[@realslow9285]

just a thought … if the "fig3" picture was the correct way round people would think they had the wrong part supplied . what they should have done is stated this … for photographic the red funnel needs to be rotated so the top of the funnel needs to be level for proper fuel filling …

[@warrenleiden6948]

Good Video, thank you. I followed the instructions, basically the same as you showed, but after one or two successes, all I could get was some yellow flame and not the rushing sound and blue flame we love. Coleman is sending me a new part, but it was embarrassing on this weekend's camping trip when my friend propane Colemans all worked like a charm, and I was left fiddling and pumping mine to little avail. When I pump, the lever only goes in about 2/3 of the way, and I have to take my thumb off the air hole to get it close enough to screw it closed. Is that what I should expect? Thanks in advance for any advice.

[@InteliGear]

Warren Leiden It sounds like the pump shaft may be bent slightly or needs to be lubricated. If the tank can't be fully pressurized this can lead to yellow flame. A dirty generator or old fuel can also lead to yellow flame. True it takes more work than your buddies propane models but You don't get the same satisfaction from turning a few knobs and pressing an electric start button. :-) After all isn't part of the fun of camping roughing it? Also remember that your stove is more versatile, can use different fuels and can operate in colder and harsher conditions than a propane stove. In the future do yourself a favor and pull out your stove before that next camping trip. Oil the pump, flush out the tank with a little new fuel ( remember that you should never put it up for long term storage with fuel in the tank) and fill it up with clean new fuel. Pressurize the tank, check it for leaks then fire that pup up! This way if you find a problem you can fix it before the trip. I would also carry a fix it kit with me on the trip containing the different size wrenches needed for replacing the generator and valve assemblies, A small oil bottle to lube the pump, Fire paste, A spare pump and generator and some spare o-rings for the valve assemblies. If you have this kit you can fix any common problem you may encounter in the field. The truth is you will most likely not need the kit if you do some preventative maintenance before hand. Hope it helps and your next adventure is awesome. P.S. with practice you will be operating your stove like a pro. Be Well Friend... InteliGear.

[@InteliGear]

Warren Leiden What part are they sending you?

[@warrenleiden6948]

InteliGear I think a new generator. I called with the problem that the second burner wasn't starting, and the person I spoke with wasn't at all knowledgable. I was put on hold and then told that they were sending me a new part. I think the problem is that I'm not getting pressure. After I saw your video, I pumped up the tank and then slowly unscrewed the tank tap to release the pressure - but there really wasn't any pressure to release. My stove is brand new, so I don't know how it ought to feel, but as I said above, when I pump, I can only push it about 2/3 of the way in, and I have to take my thumb off the pump hole just to get it close enough so that I can screw the pump closed. I feel like I'm releasing the pressure as soon as I take my thumb off, but maybe the pump is faulty, and I'm not actually creating pressure. Sigh. It's very frustrating and too late to return it. I'll try lubricating the pump, but I'm surprised it would be necessary on a brand new stove. BTW, how do you drain the fuel from the tank? The fuel hole has a cylinder on the inside that appears to prevent emptying it out that way. Am I missing something? Thank you for your generous attention.

[@InteliGear]

Warren Leiden You won't get all the fuel out I usually just give it a good shake. Thats why I recommend using a little new fuel to rinse out the tank at the beginning of each camping season. If you remove the generator and open the valve you can turn it upside down to remove more but I never have found it necessary. Also if it turns out to be the pump they can be purchased at Walmart. Good Luck with it. InteliGear.

[@samella35]

Great thorough information. Thanks. I was told unleaded gas would blow up the stove. So, that's not true?

[@samella35]

Thanks. No instruction manual. Bought from a garage sale.

[@danburch9989]

+nzinga zindua Not true; won't explode unless intentionally put under pressure and ignited with the sole purpose of causing an explosion. The fuel valve regulates that pressure to a low, non-explosive level. Coleman fuel and unleaded gasoline are very similar - both liquid and flammable. Coleman fuel is probably gasoline without the additives and octane boosters needed for automotive fuel.

[@samella35]

Dan Burch Thanks. Good to know.

[@garysturgis11]

+nzinga zindua normal unleaded is perfectly fine I've never used anything else. It is true though that it blocks the generator however this is easily remeded by adding normal fuel detergent (redex or similar).

[@samella35]

[@shamasi1968]

[@timdouglass6491]

I had a three burner back in the 90's. For what reason I don't know it started shooting flames about 3' high. We closed the lid and sides and flames were still coming out the cracks. Does any one know why this happened and what I can do to prevent it? I just purchased a used two burner.

[@marzsit9833]

not enough pressure in the tank when lighting so liquid fuel pooled up in the burner.

[@n2dabloo]

Get the propane adaptor and turn that stove into a tri-fuel stove.

[@escapetherace1943]

quad-fuel if you use isobutane to propane adapter for the propane insert

[@curvenut]

what is the model of the propane afaptor

[@razvanduta3563]

What’s the point? Most people (like me) I believe they chose a liquid fuel stove as will not be dependent on LPG. Unleaded petrol (gasoline) you can get anywhere.

[@dcobbism]

I enjoy your videos on gear, I really do. Haven't seen anything new in a while. It's too bad you've stopped posting. First comment on your videos though... My dad had this stove 30+ years ago, we went camping many times and I remembered it being a pain back then, just as it was for you (though I rememberd he used to take his thumb off the hole on the upstroke when pumping the chamber, maybe to draw the air in, who knows right???). After a few years he upgraged to the propane version, but if anything what I learned / rehashed from this video was that this stove sucked compared to the propane version. Seriously too much work, in fact I would say to anyone why the hell would you buy something like this today??? The stove itself is twice as thick, filling the tank, presurizing the tank, all the ins and outs to go through to light it and keep the damn thing stable, re-pump it now and then. Seriously throw this thing in the garbadge and upgrade to the propane model which litterally is like screw the propane bulb in, turn it on and light you fire and ready to cook, done deal... I know you're all about "rough man" camping gear and stuff, but seriously I remembered this hunk of junk 30+ years ago and while it worked and cooked us many baked beens and othe crap its certainly not what i would advocate or recomend to buy, in fact I'm surprized you can even buy this thing anymore. I still go camping and maybe I'm a bit civilized, but i bring the 5 gal tank, have a manifold and bleed it off to the still 20 year+ old colman propane stove which my dad later handed down to me as well and it still works great and has never failed.

[@robertstrachan464]

Loved the video but have to use unleaded here in the UK, can't get of the Coleman fuel is there an alternative.

Great video although I must say that the left hand burner valve doesn't need to be open very much - You're not opening a can of corned beef - A can of fuel over here in Australia is $26.50 US

[@jonathantan2469]

swingmanic Now $34. Guess I'll be using high octane petrol if I ever get my hands on this. These stoves are very rare to find both new & used in Oz. Looking at the online catalogs & visiting shops, it seems portable propane/butane stoves are far more popular for car campers. I'm also seeing more of those butane cartridge stoves, the same tabletop ones they use in Korean restaurants.

Lol the photographer probably turned it for the picture. Thanks

[@XtianApi]

The second burner would be a bit easier to lite with a bit less pressure. Thanks

[@johnbailey9682]

You can use propane as well. Just buy the adapter.

Id like to have a train where i live :C

[@Captain_Char]

that stove is in immaculate condition

[@radaraacf]

You guys are lucky on price these are sold for 270 looks identical to this but is called the powerhouse instead of 424 like yours

[@user-xt8qi5zq9q]

Thanks for your instruction . Do you how much capacity fuel tank? 1L more than or less than I need to information exactly .

[@fortythreenorth2518]

In Canada the fuel tank for the stove is red.

[@wireworks616]

The funnel is still designed for the old tanks which has the fill cap on the left hand side. I don't like the new tanks. They did the tanks this way because some idiots were re-filling them up while they were on.

[@KTSu3]

Awesome Video! I am also a person who inherited this stove and wasn't 100% sure how to work it. Do you have to pump it while you have it lit?

[@InteliGear]

Thank You. No you don't have to pump it while lit. However it is ok to do so. You may need to at some point especially if you are using both burners. You should be fine as long as you exercise caution and carefully pump. Be Well Friend... InteliGear.

[@timdouglass6491]

I miss the red tank. All you need now is a 8" cast iron skillet, onions , potato's, eggs, bacon and your walking in tall cotton.

[@mystuff1405]

Or preheat with isopropyl alcohol.

Good instructional video but I would have to give this stove a miss here in the UK. Coleman fuel is £7.20 for one litre here which equates to £32.76 ($47.00) a gallon! A rip off or what!

[@eisma002]

We have had a Coleman 424 burner for as long as I can remember (at least 20+ years). Never used anything other than Euro95. Besides replacing the gaskets of the pressure pump it still operates perfectly. On several forums users suggest white spirit/white gas is basically (not exactly) the same thing as Coleman fuel. By the way, a new generator for a 424 sells for €17,50 (about 10-12 Pounds). Definitely not worth using Coleman fuel then.

[@davecarr2000]

I live in the UK, and have had my stove for about 15 years, bought it from argos. This is a dual fuel stove which means you can use unleaded petrol. I've never used coleman fuel, although a friend did try parafin through it.

[@davidcooper6704]

I appreciate that it is dual fuel but I understood that petrol was not so clean as Coleman fuel. Is that true? I use Coleman fuel in my Svea 123R and it burns very clean.
