Beware of Dual Fuel Stoves

[@Debrasvantasticjourney]

I have a one burner stove. If I want to make a multi course meal I just use a big skillet and cook multiple items in a single pan. It’s an art.

[@Russellbeta]

A small safety tip scott: the company I work for recently introduced hydrogen detection tape. You can put it around your fittings and if there's a gas leak it will discolor so it's a great additional safety feature that's quick and easy to set up.

[@ooohlaa13]

wonderful where to buy it? and the company is???

[@Russellbeta]

@@ooohlaa13 google nittodetectiontape I'm not 100% sure but I think butane contains hydrogen, someone who's better at chemistry than me plz weigh in?

[@warrendejager203]

From South Africa... ever consider a Trangia? I'm cognizant of your space costraint but having an alternative fueled heat source is worth the consideration. Trangia run on de natured spirits, are cheap to run, fuel is available everywhere and the stove will never let you down, no matter the temp or weather conditions. In my landrover discovery II budget self done stealth and off grid camper, its invaluable and very useful as heat source, and tide me over when my propane says to here and no more.

[@StaticCamperVan]

@Warren De jager I’ve owned a Trangia for about twenty years. It’s a nice backup stove. But it’s not a stove I enjoy using. Because of space issues, I’ve found it best to stick with propane as that’s the fuel my heater runs on. It simplifies everything by using one fuel source.

[@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN]

@@Russellbeta A bit late but I found this...Butane, either of two colourless, odourless, gaseous hydrocarbons (compounds of carbon and hydrogen), members of the series of paraffinic hydrocarbons. Their chemical formula is C4H10

[@curtisblanco4029]

Butane is more expensive if you buy the canisters online or at many sportsman stores. I buy mine at oriental stores where you can get 4 canisters for 5 dollars.

[@winstonsmiths2449]

Many gas hoses are made flexible by adding oils to the plastic. The oils will leach out and clog up regulators, the burners. I have a buddy heater and bought a house that was not manufactured using oils. I also use a trap (filter) on other hoses. It catches the oils that leach out, but they call it a filter, not trap.

[@pavel9652]

I would never suspect that! Someone mentioned filter and I was curious what sort of contaminants are in the gas?

[@BOR1688]

Can you point us in the direction of that trap filter?

[@A.B.Shepherd]

Thank you, Scott, for sharing your research. An issue operators of these stoves need to know is if you modify the valves, fittings or the hose on the stoves those modifications void any warranty on the stove itself AND, more importantly, if there should be a fire or injuries caused by the stove, legally the company may not be held liable for any injuries or damages due to the modifications.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Good things to consider

[@patrickvernon4766]

Now I’m not sure about these camping stoves but as an hvac tech we often clean the burner holes and the flame sensor as maintenance to get all the burgers to work at the right color flame

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

Glad you found a stove that works for you. I love my GASONE dual fuel. Since I pack away my stove when not in use, gas leaking right now isn't really an issue. I do lean to butane with propane as a backup.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Thanks Dawn. This stove isn’t built nearly as well as my old Gas One stove. Hopefully it holds up. If not, I’ll buy another stove from Gas One.

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

@@StaticCamperVan Vanlife is absolutely an ongoing experiment. Adapt as you live it I say. 😊

[@briancclevenger]

Thanks for sharing your research results. I really liked the shutoff valve idea, safe at all levels. Also with propane you should add a filter inline. I learned that lesson with my gas Mr. Buddy heater.

[@livingandlovingit4206]

I've been van living for almost 8 years and have been using a gas one stove for about 6 years with no problems and you can buy gas one canisters for $1 per can at 99 cent store or flea mkt or Asian markets for $6 for 4 cans even in Quartzsite

[@StaticCamperVan]

I like Gas Ones. But I prefer propane since it is much cheaper and flows when the temperatures dip. If I had more space, I’d buy another Gas One stove as a backup.

[@adventuresonvancouverislan3875]

I took a $25 Coleman camping stove (the single burner model that attaches directly to the 1 lb propane bottle) and drilled a 4 inch hole with a hole saw into my counter and just dropped the stove into that put a couple of screws to hold it into place. Never had an issue. I just open my cupboard to turn on and off the propane valve on the under side of the stove.

[@adventuresonvancouverislan3875]

This is the model I’m talking about www.cabelas.ca/product/2003?productVariantId=8435&gclid=CjwKCAjw5vz2BRAtEiwAbcVIL_iVGjBAKcc8mvdXLOWnvtT3y6SB_oXtC7qbpA57U7x-_b65HBraGxoCtrsQAvD_BwE

[@STANDupPhilosopher73]

I learned a long time ago to pay close attention when you see the word "proprietary" I mean it's all good that they want you to buy it from them, therefore securing future revenue, until the company goes out of business and... I kinda like the footprint of the new stove, it's a cleaner look if that makes sense. Glad to see that you are still alive and kicking, and hopefully doing well ATB!

[@StaticCamperVan]

Fair point about proprietary products. When I bought the first Gas One stove, I figured that I could use butane if something happened to the propane regulator. Then I found out butane doesn’t work well in cold temperatures. Just my luck. Haha.

[@secondact7151]

Always use a lighter to light any stove. Your fuel lasts a lot longer because you are not wasting it while turning all the way to the clicker. My butane lasts about thirty-percent longer. I love my butane version, but I also had a scary situation this month. I turned the knob off and disengaged the bottle. I always disengage the bottle, because I have found mine leaking butane before. I was just doing a few things in camp and went to move move stove. It was STILL hot. Looking closer, the flame was really low and the stove was actually still on with the knob off and the can "disengaged." I found you CANNOT trust the disengage lever to disengage the bottle every time. This could have been a massive disaster. Now I disengage with the lever AND also verify the can disengaged AND visually verify the flame is out.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Thanks for sharing. That’s a problem I’ve never heard before. We can never be too careful.

[@Ray-js8sl]

I had the same issue! But it happened with a cheap butane stove. After switching to iwagani’s I have no issue anymore!

[@aleencaeli]

Oh wow! Glad you noticed it before anythine bad happened. Not sure what brand you have, but my one burner GasOne says to always remove the butane bottle when you're done using it. :o I do feel weary on gas stoves regardless!

[@neoskater420]

Should be a separate switch instead turning it all the way up.

[@lalylunssporadicchronicles6404]

A few weeks back I noticed your gaz one and was curious about it... In my van I have a butane stove from Iwatani its the size and looked that I found appealing. While traveling in the US this winter, I did however noticed they are a little harder to find. I live in ram promaster so I store a propane 2 burner under the bed. My go to for finding butane almost anywhere in the Us was Asian markets. And they are so much cheaper then REI or Cabellas... There was another reason why I bought the Iwatani this amazing Japanese cook was using it in his vlogs and there isn’t anything this guy could not cook. Thanks for all the in-depth Info!

[@philiporourke7896]

Great vid, thanx. I use gas one or coleman there built with quality and if it does break down , I just go by a new one, there only 20 bucks and very easy to use. Many times walmart has the butane on sale, u can get 6 canisters for a very good price. Propane does work much better in cold weather, but im always chasing 70 degree weather so that's not an issue. Again thanx for vid.

[@vagabonddeesadventures8491]

I never gave much thought to gettting a dual burner. But lately in the US in our area green propane tanks had disappeared for a few weeks. Learning so much for when I set my bus up and get out there.

[@jimmiddleton5093]

Excellent information. I’ve been looking into purchasing one of these stoves but I’ve read where a LOT of people have had issues with the hoses.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Great stoves as long as you relieve the pressure from the gas after every use.

[@dorcasowens1210]

Thank you for this information. I was debating ordering the Gas One. You saved me the aggregation. I will buy the one from Home Depot. The shut off valve is awesome.

[@StaticCamperVan]

You’re welcome. Just to clarify, I like the Gas One stoves. Especially the ability to switch between the two fuels. If I can find some space, I might buy another Gas One stove as a back up burner.

[@edfajardo7971]

Bought the black Gas One stove a couple of years back based on your video. Had pressure issues bc of Olympic Wave heater was also connected to 1 gallon gas tank via Y splitter. But it seemed once the 2 appliances were fully pressurized; everything work like a charm. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 TY!

[@StaticCamperVan]

Great to hear. I must have got a rare defective stove.

[@agoodlife2]

Thanks for the review I was going to buy a gas one, upgrading my Coleman, I prefer cooking with butane, I find it cooks at a lower temp than propane.

[@lindasue8719]

Out of curiosity, would that suggest that a canister lasts longer than one might think?… And by extension it’s maybe less expensive than one might think?

[@helidude3502]

The popular buddy heaters have an issue when using the adapter hose. There is a filter that is supposed to solve the issue. Propane make something leach out of the hose and the filter catches that. I suspect something similar has happened to your gas one stove. The filter that I mentioned won’t work for your application, and I suspect gas one doesn’t sell one. A good disassembly and cleaning will probably get the gas one stove working again. While space is precious in the van, keeping 2 stoves might be a better option if fuel availability is the bigger issue. This video has great information, thank you. 👍😎 I already have two stoves to cover both fuels, so I probably won’t be getting the gas one stove. But it’s good to know about and it’s limitations should the need arise.

[@StaticCamperVan]

I found a much better stove since this video. It was only $25. And I’ve bought a backpacking stove as a backup.

[@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN]

My camper has two burners, an oven And a grill. In the four years of going on extended trips plus some short trips, I've used the oven twice, the grill once and the two rings/burners together probably a dozen times and all used mainly for the First two years, the last two years I've been using one ring. My last trip I didn't even get the 7kg bottle replaced as the old one was empty, I used a little single burner camping butane stove and it did just fine. Even at home I usually get away with using one ring/burner but the air fryer is also handy. You can get foldaway/pack away oven that sit on top of a single burner then stow away easily, Coleman Packaway Oven (amazon) seems Good to me for cooking a pie, sausage rolls and/or pizza etc the odd time. I've recently purchased a tiny foldup caravan 9'x5' and I'm taking out the cooker and gas bottles to replace with a one burner and I'll probably purchase the above mentioned oven as I too want more space on my little worktop. Space is premium in small spaces 👍

whoa, i'm heating coffee water in my van on that exact same gas one dual fuel stove right now. i did just like you- had a gas one stove but saw this small one and bought it to take up less space. i loved it so much i bought another just like it. i keep one inside the van to make coffee and cook on when it's cold out or too windy- i use a butane can for that, so i have no need for a hose inside the van- the butane can is neat and simple and takes up no space on the table. i set up the other one outside on a one gallon propane tank to cook messy stuff like popcorn, and to bake on with my omnia oven, etc. options! 😀 plus, i figured too that by having two, if one stove broke i have a backup- because life without hot coffee is NOT an option. i love this setup. so small that two burners now store in the same space i had been storing one. i have had them well over a year without issue. the chrome looking burner grate cleans way easier than the other gas one burners i've had, and they still look good, which was a problem i had with my last gas one burner- impossible to clean. so apparently i got lucky with the quality, since you demonstrate that it's not always up to par. good thing i have two, so that if i develop problems with the hose i have a spare. i wonder exactly what the problem is you were having with the hose? i have been leaving mine hooked up to the propane tank outside without issue- until recently. i've been thinking maybe i have a bad batch of propane, because the flame is sort of not really sputtering, but making puffing noises like it is. sorta like the wind is hitting it when it isn't... huh. anyway, coffee time! have a great day!

[@StaticCamperVan]

Ha, that’s funny. I spoke with another nomad who bought the same stove a few months ago and she hasn’t had any problems either. She even told me her friend has one that’s a couple years old and is working perfectly. But they use butane not propane. I’d recommend you order a spare regulator hose now. Gas One ships them for free. Just buy from their website and not Amazon. I really shouldn’t have given away the old one!

[@john_lm0751]

I recently purchased a Coleman single burner butane stove for my minivan. I was tossed between a two-burner or single but could not justify whether or not or how often I would use two burners at one time, except for when I make posta, that would prob be the only time I need two.. for the sauce and posta. I went with a single burner. But I'm glad I learned about the points you made in this video. But, I did stock up on butane and propane because back in mid-March, stores were depleted of both gas bottles. So I keep a stock pile in my minivan, but I wonder and worry if they are safe in a hot van. Anway. thanks for your video, enjoyed it.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Butane was almost impossible to find in my area during the lockdown. But, propane was plentiful. I’ve had several butane canisters leak gas in hot temperatures. Now, I never keep butane in my van in the summer. There’s a trick for cooking pasta. I did a video about it a long time ago. Put the pasta in a wide skillet and cover with Cold water by about a half inch. Bring it to a boil then turn down to a simmer. When the pasta is cooked, almost all the water will be absorbed. I never boil pasta in a large pot anymore.

[@conniewaite1371]

Why not put your noodles in your sauce to cook , they absorb some of the extra water as they cook.

[@StaticCamperVan]

I’ll try it one of these days

[@lindasue8719]

What I do if I’m using commercial/canned pasta sauce is after I dump the water is I just add the sauce to the pasta (which heats it up well enough for my liking, anyway). It’s already pre-cooked, and generally they are “heat and serve”. I like that tip about using a wider skillet to avoid the issue of having to dump boiling water, thanks!

Thanks for this...just bought an equivalent "Grill Boss" stove, dual-fuel on Amazon Canada....sporadic camping application not long term, so I'll probably use butane when its not too cold, to avoid the propane hose issue, otherwise just unscrew the bottle.

[@StaticCamperVan]

As long as you are relieving the pressure on the hose, it’ll probably last a long time.

I think of the Gas One stoves like I do those Coleman stoves, occasional use stoves. I have a 15,000 Gas One stove with 20LB propane hose in my prepper supplies. If it gets me through several emergencies in it's lifetime, it will have been a worth while purchase. If I experience no emergencies in the next 20-30 years of my life, I consider the purchase price like I do monthly insurance premiums.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Great way to view it.

[@TravelingTroy]

My Gas One is operating fine after a few years. I, like you, don’t have much room in my van, so the stove gets stored away after each use. I guess that’s a good thing because I disconnect the propane each time. Question for you: How long does a 1lb green propane bottle last you? I hear people complaining about always having to buy more propane. One 1lb propane bottle lasts me about a month. That is coffee every morning and oatmeal about every other day, then usually dinner a few nights a week. I carry 3 bottles in my van.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Great to hear. I don’t want to give the impression that Gas One stoves aren’t great quality. You’re proving that if the stoves are used correctly, they will last for years. I can get as long as six days out of a 1lb propane bottle. But usually get much less. With this new stove, I am back to using my 2 1/2 gallon refillable propane tank. With bulk propane sold for about $3 a gallon and the 1lb green bottles $4 a piece in this area, I’m happy to not have to buy the little bottles anymore.

[@enerzise3161]

The rubber hose seeps out oils and it does it randomly, but over time it will gunk up the stove. It is a minuscule amount when hooked to a propane tank. You should have added a filter on the hose, like the filter for a Mr.Buddy heater. We use a filter on our table top smoker, no problems, we did not use it on the Mr.Buddy heater and it done the same as your one Butane / Propane dual fuel stove. We found videos that show how to clean the heater. I am quite sure this is what happened to your stove. The reason: The Mr.Buddy heater done the same issue. First would only light with a striker torch. Then would randomly not stay lit or only partially light after lighting it. We could even smell the extra propane gas is was releasing. On the Mr.s Buddy heater we have, it is a metal tube that gets build up in it. We will have to clean it with denatured alcohol or mineral spirits. We will have to dismantle the heater to extract that tube to clean it. I have no idea how to clean that dual fuel stove you had issues with. I am pretty sure there will be some tube that the oil gunks up. You will have to figure out how to remove and clean it and that should fix it. I watched about 25 videos on stoves and heaters to discover what was going on. Just like that valve breaks if you leave the propane pressure on it after it is off. The same pressure on that rubber hose slowly forces the hose to release oils. It is a rubber hose and rubber hoses have oils in them. I mean oils in the rubber fabric of the hose. We now stock three or four extra filters. We found them at Tractor supply and at some Ace Hardware. The filter on our table top smoker has lasted about two years. It is still not clogged and so we have not replaced it. When the filter needs to be replaced, it will be so clogged it no longer let gas through. Hope This Helps. As I said, the Mr.Buddy heater done the exact same as your stove. Stopped lighting unless we lit it with a lighter stick. Then eventually would not fully light, even with a stick lighter. Eventually we had to stop using it. I have yet to dismantle it and clean it. We purchased two new Mr.Buddy heaters to use with filters. No issues on any heater or the smoker where we have the small filters on them. There are videos on KZbin on how to clean our heater. I have watched them several times. It maybe you can not use that filter on that stove. It has to be hooked to our smoker or to our heaters. The hose has to go into it and it attached to the heater or smoker. It can not be the filter, then the hose to the stove or smoker. If it is not after the hose, it wil not catch the hoses leaked oils.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Thanks. I’ve found a much better stove that doesn’t get clogged up. And it was less than $25. This new stove has been an absolute joy to use. Hope you get your Mr. Heater working. I switched to an Olympian Wave 3 heater. It’s more expensive than the Buddy, but works better.

[@Patrick_Gray]

I use the BBQ size bottle (20 lb.) and buy propane for $3.99 per gallon. I have an old 2 burner Coleman Stove that worked with white gas but I use it with an adapter for propane. I also have a single burner propane stove that still works great that I have had for 50 years. On your stove that was not putting out flame on one side I would recommend blowing out the burner head from the out side with compressed air. If it was putting out propane from the dead side a lighter would show it up and burn it.

[@StaticCamperVan]

I have a much more reliable stove now. Although, last year Gas One replaced the pressure regulators that ship with their stoves to a better design after having so many customer complaints. From what I’ve heard, the new regulators have solved the problem. But I’m going to stick with my current stove for now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqSmlJWsedVnpNUsi=ZFZWaQKuobMjHcsG

The uneven burn on the GasOne seems to be rust on the burner. Since burning propane produces water as a byproduct. I just purchased a GasOne stove before I stumbled on your video I'll see how it goes... Safe travels

[@retiredguyadventures6211]

I would have to agree with the other commentors that suggested using a filter. I discovered this issue when I started using Mr Buddy propane heaters. They even make a hose that doesn't leach oil for their heaters because the oil will clog the burner.

You probably talked about this before, how and where do you store your propane safely. I have it just inside underneath my bed. Never had any problems but sometimes think I should change the way I store it. Whats your view on this? Thanks agian

[@StaticCamperVan]

I have my propane under my bed as well. I keep it right next to my floor vent. Propane is heavier than air. My idea is any leaks with fall down through the floor vent. It’s one of the many reasons why I have a floor vent and never close it. I’ve never had any trouble with propane. But I have experienced several butane canisters leaking in hot weather. My personal opinion is that propane is generally safe. We just need to keep an eye on the hoses because they do wear out. Propane hoses are the weak point and should be replaced regularly.

yes I have a Texsport stove that has a metal tube from Propane to stove, I do Not recommend the stoves that set on top of the Propane bottle they are dangerous heating up on the bottom, anyway I had the same problem as You only part of the burner would burn, It might look clean but Its stopped up I tapped on the burnner with the handle of a screwdriver and It started working again.

[@luvverboy93]

Haven't seen that issue with a stove, but the lighting issue happens on propane heaters if you don't use a propane filter cause oils from the hose leaches into the propane and messes up the burners.

[@StaticCamperVan]

A few months back Gas One replaced the regulators with a new design that has fixed the problems.

Can't buy dual fuel stoves in my part of the globe, but my little butane one burner is working fine. They are pretty cheaply made I agree. I think marine stoves are the way to go if you have the space and money 👍✌😀

[@StaticCamperVan]

Most butane stoves are poor quality. But Gas One seems to make a very high quality product. I looked at another brand of dual fuel stove and was shocked at it’s shoddy construction, plus it was double the price of my old stove.

[@ThePhool1]

Years back our propane lanterns in hunt camp started running crappy. Same with the rv stove. They were plugging. Sometimes in those propane tanks, including the refillable rv sized you get a wax type substance in with your propane. Royal bitch to clear. Just an FYI. Oh, that GasOne that wouldn't burn all around, partial plug. If it were actually flowing those non-burning ports would have burnt. You really think gas was flowing out those holes and not burning while the rest were burning? WOW!!!!

Possible Correction: when a butane canister gets LOW, the pressure drops and may not have enough "pressure" to push out enough gas to fill up the entire RING... so it's not really putting out raw gas into the air, the gas is burning off before it gets to the backside of the ring... ANY gas leaking out would IGNIGHT...

[@StaticCamperVan]

I never used butane with this stove. Only used propane from a refillable tank.

[@thereseshine7506]

I just ordered a gas one stove and ordered the small isobutane canisters. I hope I don't have an issue. I opted on this one burner stove vs the jetboil because of the price difference. I'll see how it goes. Any feedback appreciated. Thank you for your informative video.

[@StaticCamperVan]

You won’t have any issues. This stove is a good combination of quality and price. The only reason I had an issue was from using a bulk propane tank which the included propane regulator was wasn’t designed to handle. If you’re using isobutane canisters, you’ll most likely get years of service out of the stove. If you do use propane bottles, simply disconnect them after use.

I had that happen years ago on a Coleman stove. It turned out that food/liquid was spilled on that burner and gunked it up.

👍🏼

[@47vulcanride]

Good detail, thanks. I'm curious; after you figured out to put a gas valve in line with your hose, why did they fail (if I understood you correctly)? Having to turn off the valve seems an acceptable method to be able to use both sources of fuel.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Using the shut off valve definitely prolonged the lifespan of the regulator hose. But I don’t believe the regulators are designed to be used with bulk propane tanks, which is what I normally use. I experienced fewer problems with the regulator when I used the green one pound propane canisters.

[@MoonerBros]

Really appreciated the Tip. I like to make the same valve, however hard to find the male and female adapter for the 1lb propane bottle. Can you please leave a link for the parts?

I don't think your old stove was throwing unburned fuel (the gap between the flame) into your van. Fuel released beside a flame will burn.

Is butane or propane ok inside a van ? Do you have an opinion about one convection stove? Thanks

[@StaticCamperVan]

From the very start of my channel, I have been encouraging everyone to improve the ventilation in their vans. Without proper venting, a stove could be a problem. I have several videos on this subject. Convection stoves are great but do require a lot of electricity to use.

[@weasleyoc]

Was the air fuel mixture off causing the uneven flame around the burner ring? The is usually an adjustment to adjust the mix. Just a thought.

[@StaticCamperVan]

Unfortunately the stove isn’t adjustable.

[@LA_1984]

Pardon my ignorance. I am new to all of this. If a person just got a brand new stove that is supposed to take propane or butane, if they never use the hose and just use butane each time, would this fix the issues that arises with the hose? Also, do you mind sharing how you recommend storing propane or butane if you live in an apartment. Do you recommend one or the other if you live in an apartment given storage challenges? I have a utility closet on my balcony-I have kerosene jugs in there.

[@StaticCamperVan]

If you never use your propane hose, it will never give you the opportunity for trouble. Keep propane and butane out of direct sun. And store in a cool place. That’s all. As far as which fuel to choose, that’s matter of personal preference. I stopped using butane because it doesn’t flow in cold temperatures. And because the butane canisters don’t have a safety valve like propane bottles have. If a butane can gets too hot, because it doesn’t have a safety valve, the gas will leak out of the can. Butane cans are designed to do this otherwise they would explode if subjected to high temperatures.

[@LA_1984]

@@StaticCamperVan Thank you 🙂

[@kohort1]

These dual fuels gas one stoves are sold out, but the non dual fuel versions are available. A standard propane to butane hose wouldn't work?

[@StaticCamperVan]

It might. The stoves have an internal pressure regulator that will stop the flow of gas if the flow is too high or too low. Even though I like these stoves, I gave up on them and found a more reliable option: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqSmlJWsedVnpNU

No. You need a special hose.

[@henrijakubowicz1421]

Thanks for the useful information.

[@williamfuller2389]

Haven't read through all your comments so perhaps someone already asked you as to why you used Teflon Tape intended for water connections (the WHITE tape)? Gas connections, as in your application, should be using the proper Teflon Tape intended for gas connections ( the YELLOW tape)? Water molecules are relatively larger so the white tape is impervious to them while gas molecules are smaller requiring more restrictive Teflon, the yellow tape.

[@StaticCamperVan]

All those hoses get replaced every six months to a year. I use fresh teflon tape each time. If I intended to keep the hoses longer, I would use the yellow tape

[@williamfuller2389]

@@StaticCamperVan The difference between the White and Yellow Tape is not durability and longevity, it's all about the level of imperviousness. To prevent water leakage, use White. To prevent gas leakage, use Yellow. It's that simple.

[@williamfuller2389]

@@StaticCamperVan You also neglected to explain why there is a "proprietary" regulator hose when switching over to propane. Propane is stored at a much higher PSI than butane. Their hose is designed to lower the propane PSI down to the PSI used for the butane bottles. The stove has it's own regulator to again, reduce the PSI further for use in the stove operation.

[@Lou.B]

How about providing the model number of the Gas One stove that you liked???

[@StaticCamperVan]

Both Gas One stoves I’ve owned, I liked. The more expensive stove I liked a little bit better because it worked better in windy conditions. Both stoves are in my Amazon link that you can find in the description of this video. But, I would suggest buying directly from Gas One as it will be less expensive and Gas One seems to ship faster than Amazon. I don’t make money from the Amazon link, so I don’t mention it often.

[@EfficientRVer]

The mini GasOne stove he showed is the GS-800P. This is his first video I've watched. I was researching dual fuel stoves, and this video title says dual fuel, so KZbin search popped it up. I had been leaning toward getting the GS-800P already. This video confirms that it's a really solid choice for me, for an upcoming 6-week trip camping out of a Prius. The proprietary replacement hose is on Amazon right now for $10.99, "lowest price in 30 days". So he could grab a few spares to stash in some nook or cranny up under the dashboard, and do a little (sheet metal?) work to mount the GS-800P at the exact position of the Home Depot stove. Having been a cook, maybe he can mount it on/in an NSF-approved stainless food tray adapted to the purpose. He use his current propane-supply setup, including using his blue valve to protect the proprietary hose. That would give the best of both worlds for several years even if GasOne stops making the hoses.

[@lakelizard8145]

Is there anything you can do to soften the sharp edges?

Maybe cover the edges with foil duct sealing tape or paint on some Plasti-Dip. The edges bugged me at first, but the edges on the outside aren’t sharp enough to cut. I just need to be careful with the underside.

[@kelliethorne1200]

Are you sure about your hypothesis that the lack of a full- circle ring meant there was unburned propane? To me it suggests that the line pressure wasn't strong enough to get the gas all the way around the ring. Did you check that your shut-off valve was fully opened?

[@StaticCamperVan]

I’m not a hundred percent sure about my diagnosis. I can tell you that I could smell gas when only part of the burner was lit. And several times I experienced a large flash of fire when I was slow to relight the burner. When the issue first started, I assumed the shut-off valve was the problem, so I removed the valve. Even with the shut-off valve removed, the problem persisted.
