Using my vintage coleman stove - 425E

[@michaelrehberg5198]

Brings back great memories. I turned 69 today and remember many years as a kid pumping the stove and the lantern.

[@AlansOutdoorAdventures]

I've always loved these old stoves and lanterns, they have a lot of cool history. Happy birthday! thanks for checking out the video and stopping by, much appreciated!

[@janetdonaldson2632]

I inherited this kind of vintage Coleman stove. Now I need to restore and use it. Inspiring video brings back amazing memories camping with my parents!

[@margieest7424]

I still have our 3 burner coleman stove, with our vintage coleman lanterns along with our military wool blankets i love it, and I kept all my pops vintage camping gear along with his coleman 3500 heater. Still enjoy using all his camping gear and fishing stuff. They will be handed down to my grand kids who borrow them when they go camping. ❤ I will continue to use them till I no longer can.

[@AlansOutdoorAdventures]

I love the old Coleman gear, built very tough and dependable. I'd like to get a 3 burner eventually, but it's tough to find one for a decent price.

[@tallpaul1563]

Still love the hissing sound and smell of old white gas pump up stoves and lanterns. Reminds me of camping as a kid. The propane stuff just doesn't have the same sound and smell.

[@BushWookie603]

I still have my dad's from when we were kids. Such a rugged awesome stove. I can still smell the bacon waking up in the mountains, my dad being the first up, making coffee and cooking food for all us

[@AlansOutdoorAdventures]

That's awesome! They sure are great stoves

[@williamfuller2389]

​@@AlansOutdoorAdventuresEven better memories.

[@LivingWithTeddyB.]

Sweet memories. Love the classic Coleman stoves/lanterns. Nice breakfast.

[@joenathanmaisonette2838]

Just found of these in my basement that’s was my grandparents house and glad that u kinda showed me how to use it 😂❤

[@jamesjordan4564]

Ain’t broke don’t fix it 👍🏻👍🏻 love it

[@adnacraigo6590]

I'm 73 now and my father and I used one of those on many trips and camping outings. They really work well if you take care of them.

[@ardinjamalzadeh8662]

Hahaha when we go camping we bring the same exact thing, my parents love it more then me for some reason

[@tomcooke1853]

Great in the ice hut for breakfast and doubles as a heater 👍✌🏻🤙🇨🇦😊

[@AlansOutdoorAdventures]

I can't wait to use mine while ice fishing, such a great stove. Really tough and dependable, they don't make them like that these days- that's for sure.

[@bernardhockensmith7750]

I have the stove and the dual mantle lantern. Pump them up let them burn.

[@THESPORTINGCAMP]

I have the same stove! 🤝

[@MeetMeOutside]

Awesome ! We use one of those ice fishing, perfect !

[@AlansOutdoorAdventures]

They really are a great piece of gear, a lot of cool history and nostalgia for sure. I'm thinking about bringing them along with me this year ice fishing as well. Thanks for checking out the video and stopping by, much appreciated!

[@MeetMeOutside]

@@AlansOutdoorAdventures You betcha !

[@simplemanlovetocanoe6274]

Wow,that brings back many memories! Would love to get another one! Very low maintance!!!

[@AlansOutdoorAdventures]

The nostalgia is very real with these for sure. I was amazed by how easy they are to maintain and work on, great gear. Thanks for watching, much appreciated!

[@aubertlachance6076]

I'm currently a scout and we still use those Coleman stoves. They're not practical but I love them. They are attached to a lot of memories that I have and recently we stopped using them for msr whisperlite stoves but I still prefer Coleman even if they are more heavy and difficult to use

[@mikafoxx2717]

I think they're still practical for base camp. The things never die. They can run kerosene or gasoline or whatever else if you preheat the generator, and can be cleaned easily inside if the fuel clogs it up eventually. It doesn't take expensive and wasteful propane bottles or butane that doesn't work below freezing. When I go group camping with friends, usually there's 3-4 of these old colemans there. The oldest is a 63 M4 model. You can still pick them up for 20 bucks or less at thrift stores if you look around.

[@sammallory]

I used one for 10 years cooking.

[@Hobbit_1023]

We used to use these for Cadets in Canada. Thanks for sharing!

[@maddogmaz1576]

I trained with the Canadian reserves up in the Artic. They still use them and they work great

[@That70sChannel]

I picked up a couple of these and I think that I need to rebuild the little pressurizing pump but I'm not sure I haven't really messed with them it's one of those things I just acquired and put to the side. I have enough unstarted or unfinished projects to keep me busy until I'm 105 years old.

[@Kerry6691]

Just found one of these in my garage today.

[@AlansOutdoorAdventures]

They are great and dependable stoves, I love using mine. Thanks for watching and stopping by to comment, very much appreciated!

[@PhotoStoryChannel]

Outdoor...and free...great sharing ❤️

[@AlansOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks! Very much appreciated

[@74stevedc]

I have one bought it at a flea market 20 years ago haven't used it yet, I guess I'm kind of slow 🙃 😅

[@dustindewind3210]

Wait !! So I'm "vintage" now? I bought mine brand new just a "few" years ago 🤣

[@That70sChannel]

Have you noticed that every year of your life goes by faster than the year before?

[@Shade_Tree_Mechanic]

​@@That70sChannel I'm 28 and I've definitely been noticing that. It's a bit scary to be honest

[@tomcooke1853]

​@@Shade_Tree_Mechanicwait till you hit 55 wow gone😮zoòooom

[@Canoejerry]

If you’re already using a whisper lite or other liquid fuel stove this is a super handy stove to have around. And the liquid fuel works in much colder and freezing temps. Propane or blends get rough when it’s super cold out.

[@AlansOutdoorAdventures]

Awesome, thanks for the tips! Should be a great stove for ice fishing trips this year. I always bring backups, but will be excited to use this one for sure.

[@Last_Chance.]

How many pumps did it take to cook all that?

[@AlansOutdoorAdventures]

Pumped it up about 45 times in the beginning, cooking on low

[@richardvisneski506]

That’s what it’s all about

[@briobags]

I just got my self this exact same one my only question is what type of fuel do i use for it

[@AlansOutdoorAdventures]

Coleman makes their own fuel, it's called "camp fuel ". You can find it at Walmart or most outdoor stores.

[@briobags]

@@AlansOutdoorAdventures i appreciate the reply , lol i ended up finding the answer on google shortly after as well. I got mine from an old house i was working on brand new in the box just hadnt had time to read the manual fully lol.

[@lv2keepfit493]

good luck finding one in Canada now, if you do they're over $300 Can.

[@AlansOutdoorAdventures]

Wow that is crazy expensive! I paid $20 at my local thrift shop for this one

[@lv2keepfit493]

@@AlansOutdoorAdventures I actually bought a good used one for $60 last week, very lucky to grab it before someone else on Kijiji . But try finding a new one anywhere, non existent, so never get rid of yours even if it sits in a corner for years. The fuel is over $30 for a large can, I think under 4L. Crazy the cost of things these days. Anyways enjoy your great stove and happy camping.

[@mikafoxx2717]

​@@lv2keepfit493and if your think that fuel cost is bad, calculate what the same burn time is for those single use small propane bottles. One tank full of the 425 lasts me a whole week camp trip of cooking, and the bottle lasts a couple trips. I camp in the winter anyway up in Canada so the propane and especially butane is off the list anyways.

Wow what’s that coffee thingamabob?!

[@truckcampertraveler7369]

Bacon grease eggs are the best !

[@AlansOutdoorAdventures]

They definitely are!

[@truckcampertraveler7369]

100% agree i limit myself to special occasions.

[@margieest7424]

Nothing like going back to the basics. None of this fancy shmancy crap

[@badomp1054]

hell yah

[@chancesareshewears]

you can cook with it too.

[@AlansOutdoorAdventures]

I'll have to try that sometime, thanks!

[@phillipsouse16]

I just got one how do I set it up

[@jakeadkins6109]

Is that skillet cast iron?

[@AlansOutdoorAdventures]

Yeah that's a lodge cast iron skillet
