Great Prepper Item: Coleman Exponent Multi Fuel Stove

[@JasonPullara]

Having multiple stoves is a great idea. Having at least one stove that can work on multiple fuel sources? Beautiful. Great pick!

[@charlesd3376]

If I recall the Exponent was Discontinued in 2017. But they are still out there.

[@terrychrist1383]

Sure show something that I would like to order and can't lol 😹😹 I like Coleman brands 👍 God bless you and your family ❤️🙏🤗🐕🐾🐾🐈🐾 Thank you 😊

[@pamelaconley9744]

My father was sold on his two burner, forest green, Coleman stove and white gas. As long as I can remember, all our camping trips included this. That little stove is awesome!! The pumping it reminded me of Dad!

[@mel63613]

I had this stove for several years, until it developed a leak on the Long Trail. I took it into The Mountain Goat, in Manchester Centre, VT. and sent it back to Coleman. Bought a new Svea 123 to replace. The Coleman is a great stove in use, as is the Svea.

[@KevinSmith-yh6tl]

I use mine year round. Car camping,3 or more days trekking in the woods, early morning fishing at the reservoir, even around home on occasion. Thank for the great review,👍

[@BarnYardOutdoors]

One of my favorite stoves. Great for cold weather camp cooking.

I've been running the duel fuel, same thing, for 22 years. I've replaced the pump twice. Its a brick, but its durable and reliable. Like an old truck.

[@gp1971]

I have a great little Colman stove. It’s old. I believe it’s a 501-502. I really enjoy using it. One of those would be nice also. Take care.

[@woodknotts6050]

I have one of the dual fuel models !...... I love it and keep it in my "Chuck/Kitchen box " along with my tri-fuel colman 3 burner stove.... it is a great burner to have around it also is quick to set up when I only need 1 burner for coffee or water in the morning like a gallon of wash water in the big pot in another area of camp !!!!

[@fakenews7266]

You forgot JP-8 ( jet fuel ) . I have a few of these and other single burner Coleman stoves , I like this one , and the M-1950 along with the 520 & 530 single burners , the exponent is much lighter but the military stoves can take some crazy abuse , This stove along with the 222 / 226 / 229 lanterns are what I take along for short weekends in the swamps of South Florida , the bigger stuff ( 2 burner and 3 burners ) we drag out for events with the family or our friends , good video 👍

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

Coleman dual fuel 2-burner stoves and lanterns are great for home emergency use! I've had mine for 20 years and use unleaded gasoline. Prior to hurricane season/then start of winter I fill up a .5 gallon tank to fill/refill them and a 2-gallon tank for storage, gas not used goes into my truck!

[@melissahoffman4687]

You can even use denatured alcohol and yellow bottle heet with these stoves. Say goodbye to soot if there are flare ups.

Throw one in you car and keep it there. I have a Colman Duel fuel single burner and a big double burner stove for camping. Great stoves will last for ever. Have fun in your bunker stay safe.

[@Thereal111t]

Those are the same stove. Having a kerosene burner is a key capability. Especially if you have a bunch of kerosene. Liquid fuel stoves work in low temperatures.

[@mikemorgan5015]

If your CO monitor went up while you were fueling it, it's a false reading. CO is produced by incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. Now it may have a cross sensitivity issue with other gases. Check your monitor manual. If it has a combustibles sensor often labeled as CH4 or methane which will pick up raw fuel vapors or natural gas. Blue flames don't make CO in any dangerous concentrations. When running right, the only real danger in a confined space is oxygen depletion from the stove using it up and fire of course. Better to err on the side of caution though. If you have any friends on your fire department, you may ask them to test your stove's emissions with one of their multi gas monitors, usually a Drager or MSA unit. They are calibrated and very accurate. Love these stoves, I have a lot of them too. It's addictive. Keep up the good videos!

[@HarshmanHills]

multi fuel systems are always nice. extra options is always a good thing

I absolutely love the gear that is available to you in the USA. I wish I could get some of the great survivalist gear here in Australia. Even many of your Amazon products are not available to us here. Especially long term food products.

[@KevinSmith-yh6tl]

Norman Morris Hey my Aussie friend, since you brought up the subject of shelf-stable food I hope I can ask you a question. In the past I used to purchase Bega cheese online. Man,I LOVED that stuff. The last shipment I received, without getting into it too much, The Familiar old can was printed with Bega, but then again the rest of the information was what I described as being in hieroglyphics. Completely not derstandable to me. After doing some research, I learned that Bega was doing this on purpose to appeal to a country the other side of the world. I stopped purchasing it immediately and returned the last order I had purchased. Could you shed some light on the subject if this is still something going on? I'm only asking because you stated you were from Australia, and you had an interest it seems in shelf-stable food. Thank you my friend for any information you could shed on this, hopefully KZbin won't scrub this question, because it is a legitimate question, and not promoting hate. Thanks

[@StaitlyNatters]

@@KevinSmith-yh6tl Bega has an interesting corporate life, and was sold to Kraft when they hit on hard times in Australia. Prior to that Kraft they did indeed make a canned (steel can) cheese, which was sold into Indonesia and the Middle East. This was then imported into other countries indirectly. In Australia it was a failure and sales were stopped shortly after. However, as this was not sold widely or for very long I do not know what happened to that particular product. Kraft introduced a glass jar of spreadable cheese, cheddar and plain variety, which is still sold, and has a shelf life (non refrigerated) of about 12 months. However once opened must be refrigerated and used within about 2 weeks before growing mould. Bega was recently sold back into Australian ownership, however, some products that were originally made under the Bega banner, and were internationally successful were kept by Kraft, and/or were licensed back. So we have both Bega and Kraft branded cheeses, block and slice, that come from the same group of factories, as does peanut butter. However the spreadable cheese from Kraft is licensed by Bega. As I said a very interesting corporate lifestyle.

[@KevinSmith-yh6tl]

@@StaitlyNatters Thank You so so much for such an excellent well worded explanation of the inner workings of the Kraft/Bega corporation. You have answered all the questions I was after,and then some. CHEERS 🇦🇺 🇺🇸👍👍

[@TSGEnt]

Thank you! This was pretty cool. Price? Yikes. Your price ($40) was not bad. As for leaded gas you can get it as AVGAS aviation gasoline. This reminds me of the Coleman double-burner of the days gone by. Fill it, pump it, and away you go.

[@chrissewell1608]

Aviation gas is dangerous stuff... more than regular gasoline!

[@TSGEnt]

@@chrissewell1608 What makes it more dangerous?

[@chrissewell1608]

@@TSGEnt its vapors are very flammable. Maybe a lower flash point.

[@chrissewell1608]

If you find these stoves don't regulate gas flow well? Spit 5 feet of flames? Won't stay lit on low / simmer? They do clog up easily, when fuel gets left in them. They need a tune up! Clean / replace the generator. And the needle valves get gummed up too. Regular tune-ups keeps them shinny and running! And DO NOT STORE THEM WITH FUEL in the tank. This causes problems with everything, and will destroy seals.

[@Phatty057]

it might be a little heavy but it's not top heavy at least. I don't like sitting the pots on the stoves with the 1lb coleman and the cheap burners on top.

I was wondering where you bought that stove at. I thought Coleman stopped making them. I have several of the older, Peak1 backpacking stoves. And a military model, like yours. These are great little stoves and lanterns. I'd buy the Exponent set, if I could find them!

[@davidhawkins847]

If I remember correctly, this line of Coleman products was around in the 80's which is also why they specify unleaded gas. They even had smaller ones designed for backpacking.

[@chrissewell1608]

@@davidhawkins847 These actually started back in the late 60's or early 70's, with the Peak1 backpacker series. (These were Green, then Brown, and Black in color) Those ran solely on white gas / "coleman fuel". Then in the late 80's - 90's redesigned then to run off unleaded gas, being their "dual fuel" models (This were Gray). Then in the 90's came out with the multi-fuel series, which could also run on kerosene. Being the "Exponent" series. (Copper Color.)... Then the market shifted away from white gas to Butane. Coleman had already made multi-fuel stoves for the military, during WW2 (maybe earlier?) Which after the war, was sold to the public, for camping. These were known as the Coleman "G.I. Pocket stove". (These are tall, chrome plated stoves with a built on cook pot, pot handle, funnel & wrench).

[@davidhawkins847]

@@chrissewell1608 Yep, unfortunately I'm old enough to remember most of those lines. Had one of the duel-fuel units myself, along with a matching lantern, though it didn't get a lot of use. I was doing more backpacking than car camping so the weight of the Coleman liquid fuel units were way out of any reasonable range for carry, though there was an exponent series unit designed specifically for backpacking. If I recall it had nearly the same form factor as the one shown in the video, just scaled down about 50-60%. While all of mine were destroyed, I think I still have some of the older units sitting in storage by other family members. Things handed down for a couple generations. Probably need to be rebuilt though.
