life saver video. I recently had to use this exact type of unit and hadn't used it in a few years so when I put in the new canister I forgot about the "nitch position" and the unit wouldn't work. I just ordered a new one and then watched your video and immediately went to the garage and sure enough, thanks to this video, I placed the canister properly and it worked so cheers from Canada.

[@stettan1754]

Good god, 4 butane cans for $15?! Here's a really good suggestion ...go to an Asian supermarket (if there's one available near you), and you can buy a 4-pack butane fuel for $6. Each can is 8oz of fuel. Sometimes it'll be on sale for $3.99 for 4-pack.

[@MountainGoatOfficial]

This is true for my city. I haven’t figured out why but I am good with it!

@333Orobas 666 I am reading that the Asians one don't have the CRV label for safety and could explode.

So true. I just went to H Mart yesterday and saw that they had those 4 packs of butane cans for $5.99. Way cheaper! We’ll be making some Shabu Shabu tonight for the family.

I have one and it has been a little beast . we cooked 2lb of asada on a sheet pan with no wind break. just 20 bucks.... Nice and compact too

[@vegansinthewildover5023]

So glad to find this today! I ordered the red can of butane from Walmart (in the middle of the night, bleary-eyed) and wasn't sure if it had that notch in the top. Glad it does; I'll be even more glad when it arrives, as I use it to make tea at night and it heats my whole compact camper up nicely. Thanks, and happy trails!

Very helpful. Used mine for the first time today. I full time live in my F150.

[@MoonDog21]

My local HMart Korean grocery store has 4 packs of Volt brand 8 oz canisters for just $5 (which is $20 on Amazon with 4.5 star reviews). Check your local Asian grocery store because a lot of Asian homes and restaurants have been using these stoves for years. This Coleman stove is still only around $20 at Walmart/Target (about $10 cheaper than any others I’ve seen). Great deal. Good luck to you.

Thank you. Also, check the cannisters to make sure they're not dented in any way. Bought my first one this summer, went to install the cannister, and smelled some gas. But didn't want to blow myself up, so returned cannister to Walmart for a refund. When I looked at it more closely, it did have a small dent near the top .

[@zingo2664]

Great video 😀 ,helped me out alot as i have never used one and was a bit nervous regarding canister,so thank you 😄

When you turn the pan support over, for storage, it interlocks with the gas locking lever, preventing the canister from being accidentally reconnected.

[@zamz7978]

I just use mine for the first time. Very happy with my stove

[@shadowridersiii3080]

Contrary to your comment towards the end of the video about "leaving the canister inside the unit when traveling if you wanted to" , the general guidelines for these stoves clearly indicate that AFTER USE: Replace the cap on the gas canister after removing it from the unit. Do not leave the gas canister inside the unit when not in use. You may wish to edit out that statement.

[@Panbaneesha]

The canisters should also be stored in a upright position when not in use, so leaving them in there is clearly not an option.

@@antwayanowens5529 exactly, you’re limited to only one type of fuel and canister. I prefer the ones with remote canister, I can easily use adapters and have different types of fuel depending on availability, they’re also much smaller. Of course there’s always the handy dandy Firebox you can use twigs, Trangia or canister, taking hardly any space, that’s my favorite.

[@rockguitarist931]

I've been looking at camping stoves and I'm leaning towards the butane stove simply because it's a little more compact than the propane units, plus you don't have that 5 lb canister rolling around next to the stove so it's more stable in more circumstances if you can't cook on a picnic table for every meal.

[@streeterboyzoutdoors]

Thanks for the info, just bought this stove for 20.00 clearance works great and was wondering if leaving the butane canister inside like that would be ok,, thanks.

[@peteculver6063]

I have used mine dozens of times. Love the thing. Problem is if you have the stove on for an extended period of time the fuel can frosts up and the flame stays on LOW LOW LOW! Same with cans that are getting low on fuel. Any suggestions besides having multiple canisters on standby to swap out?

Did the gas one canisters have CRV protection? I was reading some Amazon reviews for it and a few people mentioned their canisters didn’t have CRV? No clue it it’s true. But figured I would ask someone who has used their cans

I have looked at lots of Japanese ones like this that have lots higher btu and have read tons of reviews that say the Coleman has some trouble cooking thru on meats like thick steaks and thick burgers… Is that true? Or had anyone has these problems or was that just a few people out the many??? Thanks agn for ur review and any help ahead of time!!! ;) Safe and Happy Travels & Grilling!

[@arturosann7016]

Do the sterno 8oz cans work too on Coleman butane stoves?

[@lynnespringer6524]

I also in Texas and getting ready for hurricane season. You did not mention anything about your butane cartridges having release valves. Do they? If they do it will say CRV on the back, The Coleman does because it shows a blue ring. However, Gas One can you have did not have the blue ring. Looking for reply- Hurricane season is quickly approaching.

[@rickyelvis3215]

excellent ✔️

[@user-gi3xj8nz3s]

I meant the green propane containers they sell at Walmart. I think the butane cans go by really fast don’t want to run out of flame . I figure that the green propane last a bit longer. Just wondering if I can use those instead of the small Coleman butane cans. Thanks for the video helpful

[@UhaulCamperFun]

This model does not do propane. I've seen some other similar stoves out there that say they do both with adapter but I've not used one. I use a regular Coleman 2 burner on Propane most of the time I'm out camping. Coleman does make a single burner propane option too.

[@pattiannepascual]

look for a stove that says dual fuel.

[@ucdred1]

only one of your cans is CRV the coleman, but the other is not and it can blow up under heat, so be careful. look at the can with the blue ring mark it"s CRV and is more safe

I was always worried when I had one the can being so close to the fire, especially when using high heat to make French fries,quick breads,etc-

Can these be used to fill torches ?

[@gndeeps]

Thank you for the video. It was helpful. I have a question on the ignition. To have a spark there should be some kind of electricity that is generated using a battery. Can you please share some info on that part of the stove. If there is any battery and if yes, how do we replace them?

Good video. Can you use and adapter hose or do they even sell one to you a green propane those small ones they sell at Walmart

[@aimeemarquez6902]

Still looking for the answer myself

[@UhaulCamperFun]

There are some stoves with an adapter that can use propane or butane. Unfortunately, the blue coleman version only uses butane. If you look on Amazon, you can find some that are similar form factor and say they will do either. However, I do not have any experience with them.

[@rosepaul9681]

[@gus473]

Usually good for 90 minutes to 2 hours or so, based on our experience -- typically running on highest flame!

[@stettan1754]

Mike is correct. You will also need to know how much BTU your gas stove produce too. Higher BTU output, less burn time.

[@porkchop94]

Thks for the great video, can u use it indoors. Not familiar with butane. Thks for sharing 😊 👍

[@UhaulCamperFun]

No I would not recommend cooking in enclosed spaces. Camp stoves put off carbon monoxide. Both butane and propane do. So you have to be careful.

[@vegansinthewildover5023]

I wouldn't recommend it for a regular camper. Mine has so many leaks and openings around doors and windows that I'm comfortable using it to make a cup of tea at night.

[@zakkrueck2362]

i wish someone would make propane cannisters to fit inside this type of stove

[@pattiannepascual]

they do have dual fuel stoves that use both butane or propane.i think you need an adapter to use propane. and yes wish they would change the design of propane stoves so tank doesn't sit at that dumb angle. it's very awkward and takes up space. I was thinking about buying a used rv propane stove, hooks to a 20lb tank outside, saving money and the unit is contained like a real stove. If I find one without the cabinet, could always build a box to hold it.

[@rafaelramirez8968]

@@UhaulCamperFun it’s not gonna leak? And there’s a problem if I let the can on the stove?

[@UhaulCamperFun]

No. It's pressurized seal like a spray paint can. So when you put it in the stove and push the lever it applies pressure. When you release the lever and pressure it allows the can to close. If the valve on the can is damaged, then you would hear/smell gas leaking out and you should dispose of the can as it is malfunctioning.

[@UhaulCamperFun]

You are correct. I had several people asking if they can't find it locally where to get it. The price is higher to have it shipped to you due to shipping of explosive substance. So Amazon is just an option. I bought a pack just to make sure they'd work with the stove.

[@brittmccann]

How many uses does a can get?

[@UhaulCamperFun]

it depends on how long you are using it and how high a heat/flame you are using. I tend to use it a lot for bacon with my cast iron pan and I get a lot of uses out of a can. I'd probably take 2 cans on a weekend car camping trip to be safe (same as I would with a propane stove).
