[@wadestewart9891]

Good to see you back and prayers for Mrs O for a speedy recovery, thanks for taking the time to make a few videos be safe

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

Thank you so much for the kind words and prayers. Mrs. O is healing fine, but will take a bit of time to be fully mobile again. Thanks for watching.

[@GreenBlue4114]

I have a stove like the Colman that my Grandpa use when we went trout fishing. I’m going to get it running to show my kids 7 and 10 years old. Thank you for the videos.

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

Thanks for watching. Vintage Coleman stoves and lanterns will last forever if given proper maintenance.

[@chrischiampo7647]

Welcome Back Mr and Mrs Obsolete 😊😀 Hope Mrs Obsolete Is On The Mend 😇😇😇❤️👍🏼

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

Happy to be back. Mrs. O is on the mend, and doing well.

[@joeyrector1015]

That's some cool little stoves. I went yard saling Saturday and bought a 1-42 Mac for $15 bucks. All that I had to do was clean the carburetor and put a fuel line and filter on it.

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

The Mac was a good find. Thanks for watching !

[@joeyrector1015]

@@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156 that's for sure. Just one thing. It's loud as I don't know what lol. You're welcome. Hope your wife gets up and walks really good soon

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

The sound of the McCullochs is called the( Sound Of Power ! ) Yes they are loud. Good thing that hearing protection is readily available. Mrs. O is coming right along, and it will be great when she can walk again.

[@joeyrector1015]

@@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156 right. That's great about your wife. I'll bet that she is a great help

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

Mrs. O has always been a great help and keeps our family together. We are lucky to have her looking out for us, even when she can't do many of the things that she normally would due.

[@tedneitzel]

Awesome to see ya and thanks for the update on Mrs O. Good old camp burners. I've got a couple I'm sure not as nice as yours but they are neat!

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

When we were kids, we camped a lot and were in the Boy Scouts too, and we used Coleman stoves and lanterns quite often. I don't camp much, but still use my stoves and lanterns quite often for other purposes. Along with using them, I like to collect them and find the history behind them fascinating too, plus they run on gas and kerosene, some of my favorite liquids.

[@bobbynash282]

I hope Mrs. Obsolete is doing well, as well as can be. I'm glad to see ya back. Great little stove, Obsolete stuff is cool. I did finally mess a little (be to busy) with 1 of my macs. Mac 10 10.pro. Has good fire, filter was filthy an gas lines are hard. Didn't have much time , was repairing gauges on 1 of wifes favorite vehicles. Glad your ok , take care cooler weather not far away.

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

It's great to be back. Mrs. O is healing up well, but her recovery is a slow process due to the extent of her injury. Thanks for the kind words and for watching. The Pro Mac 10-10's are an excellent midsize saw. You will be happy with the performance.

[@jeffreyrubish347]

Welcome back! Get well soon, Mrs. O!

[@Eddieschainsaws]

Good to see you back!!! Pray Mrs O’s ankle improves.

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

Thank you so much.

[@lsj1]

Keep up the healing, Mrs O.

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

I'm getting better every day.

[@robertgoth5570]

Good to have you back and wishing the Mrs a speedy recovery!

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

It is nice to be back doing some videos again. Mrs. O's recovery is coming along fine, but is a slow process.

[@johnclarke6647]

Glad to see you back. Hope the better half gets better. I had a single burner like the one you have with the green tank. Bought it in the 70’s. It went with me deer hunting many times. I well remember one supper that I cooked on it in the car - it was snowing heavily outside the wind was blowing and it was freezing outside. I burned Coleman fuel in it.

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

Mrs. O's recovery is right on schedule. It will be a while before she will be able to walk and do video's again, but we will get a video every 2 weeks with help from friends and family. Your Coleman story is like many others in that they were widely used and were a simple, reliable and well made product produced in the USA.

[@liljoeii6091]

Like your camp stoves very nice and I hope the Mrs a has a very fast recovery and saying a prayer for her thank you for the video

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

Thank you for your kind words. We appreciate it. Old camp stoves are interesting as well as useful, and there is a vast variety of them out there.

[@agkleppel6235]

nice to see you again... greetings from germany

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

Very nice to hear from you !

[@brianking1138]

Yeah! Your back. I hope you are both doing well .

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

Great to be back. Mrs. O is healing up well, but it will be a while before she can get out and walk again. We will be doing videos every two weeks for now. Thanks for watching.

[@jacobmeis1249]

I used to watch your chain saw videos!

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

It will be a while before I can do some chainsaw videos out in the woods, but I have some lined up for when things get back to normal for us. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@jeffreyrubish347]

The Primus stove is cool to see. The early mountain climbers used those.

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

The primus stoves are amazingly simple to use and are very useful too.

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

Glad to be back. Mrs. O is on the mend, but her recovery is a slow process due to the severity of her ankle break. Good to hear from you !

[@kennethwilson8633]

The newer Colman Duel Fuel stoves can burn unleaded gasoline but is it safe?

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

Newer Coleman stoves and lanterns are rated as dual fuel, meaning one can burn regular gasoline or white gas (Coleman fuel), in them, but they will give off toxic fumes from the additives in gasoline. This means outdoor use only.

[@kennethwilson8633]

@ thanks

[@justinweaver8107]

Bless her hope uns have a good 1.

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

Mrs. O is doing better every day.

[@CaelJones]

Wait a second... so what you are saying is this thing Burns 50 octane white gas but does not produce carbon monoxide? That pretty much runs contrary to everything I was ever taught. How sure are you about what the actual controversy you mentioned refers to? I mean it must have some basis in reality as you spoke about a heater drum that they make for the thing but like you said, these things are from the 60s... no one gave a shit about that back then, right? Unless they went to, and actually completed Junior High, that is. Well, one thing I won't question is that the American propensity to shrug off dangers and environmental hazards to themselves and others may be the real product review here. Sorry about your wife. No offense intended on the comments here. Good luck... fellow camper.

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

In the past, Coleman said you could use a lantern or stove in an enclosed area as long as there was some ventilation. Today they say the exact opposite. The former is true if using white gas with no additives, not so if using regular gasoline. Gas for cars has lots of additives, which can be harmful if breathing the fumes. I have seen tests where they were operating camp lantern and stoves in enclosed areas, and no noticeable carbon monoxide was present using white gas. It is best to have some ventilation though, as the oxygen can be depleted and there is an odor from burning the fuel. Today's Coleman gas stoves and lanterns are called dual fuel, meaning they can burn gasoline and white gas. Earlier stoves and lanterns were designed for white gas only. Best to always some ventilation. In the cold weather, I use a Coleman catalytic heater in my small shop and use my lanterns in the shop and house when the power is out, and I always have some ventilation. Works fine for me.

[@jacobmeis1249]

School and social engineering camp are to different things, guessing you went to the later.

[@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156]

The test results I found were done with proper monitoring equipment and done by experienced personnel.
