Coleman 2-Burner Unleaded Camping Stove 2020 camping cooker

Product Information

If you have to burn methanol, like say in a marine environment get a stove made to burn it like a Trangia 27 they are very reliable, simple and safe. Reply Right now, after lighting/warming up for a minute or two and turning the lighting lever down on the right side burner, the burner flame is bigger and yellow, and I am getting some flame out of the tube learning into expansion chamber in the manifold, and flame in the expansion chamber as well. Often, I get sudden popping and a "jet-engine" sounding noise from that area. Oddly, if I engage the second burner, it seems to get both burners working normally steady-state with nice clean blue flame circles. But the simplest way to fix a dry pump cup is to just pull the pump out let the cup soak in oil for 10 to 30 min wipe it off so it’s not dripping, reinstall and then add a drop or two every week, brake fluid works great for this since some brake systems use leather parts and it make them last longer ( just don’t use it in your brake system if the bottle has been open for more then a few days as it’s hydroscopic and will absorb water overtime affecting your braking system or if you have dropped the pump cup in the bottle, any sediment in the bottle won’t do your brake system any favors, I normally just use the left over fluid saved after doing a brake / clutch job since, if you’ve done the job right you won’t ever need any more fluid) Reply

These stoves have gone everywhere from tailgate parties, multiple week hunting camps, emergency cooking in a week long snowstorm at my home, not to mention the inumerable family outings. My dual fuel stove has performed outstandingly all these years. I had one hiccough at a concert where the stove would pop then go out but I just unscrewed the needle valve, cleand it then continued on cooking. This stove takes a little skill to use but once you get the hang of it, it will be a camping buddy for life.This is a compact stove. However, if you store the fuel compartment in the stove (the logical place) this stove will really rattle when you drive. Plan on having some rags around to quiet the rattle. Value

You might also want to make a metal screen globe and lose the glass which will at some point end up getting busted no matter how careful you are, just cut some metal window screen the same size fold the edges over so there is nothing pokey, and stitch it together with wire so it’s the same size, they work like a champ and don’t break and protect your mantle from stray bugs.. To overcome the rust issue I have lined the inside with heavy-duty aluminium foil (the stuff used to line ovens in the kitchen) hoping it will prevent the worst. If you use a larger bottle, pour off the gas, and toss the water add some epson salts (Magnesium sulfate, common bath salts) to the bottle of gas shake it, let it settle, let it clump in the bottom and filter it again, and you will have ethanol free fuel.. Just after I opened the box, enclosed owner's manual for 424 showed me how to fix the generator problem. Instead of buying a new one, I just cleaned the needle (with 220 grit sandpaper) and the coil (with a Dremel wire brush) inside the generator tube, and reinstalled the assembly. I wanted to install a new one, but the local hardware store priced it so high, that it was not worth buying for a 23 year-old stove. My 425F now works just as good as the first day I bought it. It was brand new, so I didn’t think the manifold was clogged. I pressurized the tank, detached it from the stove, and just tried to spray fuel into the air. This didn’t work well. The fuel seemed to be spraying out behind the tip and not through it. Some fuel dribbled out, some sprayed out intermittently in different directions, and a good deal seemed to build up in the generator itself.On 425F, the secondary burner is so small, it takes too long to get a liter of water to a boil. It is only good for simmering, in my opinion. Now 424's secondary burner will bring it to a rolling boil. Now you can cook the pasta while you get the meat sauce ready. Anyway, I’ve not seen anyone complain about this problem online, but since you’re clearly a Coleman vet, I was wondering if this is a problem Reply My 425F always had some of the lingering flame, and it had increased somewhat over the years of use. I used to pull the generator out of the expansion chamber, so I do not have to smell that nasty, incomplete combustion. It’s mobile: we not only can choose to cook inside our outside of the Land Cruiser, but we even took the stove on a glacier trek in Pakistan. The Coleman Collectors Forum was originally the Old Town Coleman Bulletin Board Service in the early part of this century. In December of 2008, it became the forum as you see it today. It is a forum rich in knowledge of Coleman and other Gas Pressured Appliances. This "richness of knowledge" comes from those that come here and share what they know.

I bought my barely used 424 Duel Fuel after my 425F quit working. I had the 425F since 1980. It never failed me.I recently acquired a Coleman 425 stove from the Goodwill so I thought that I would sit it next to a 414 and take some pictures to compare the size of the two units. The 414 is the larger with the silver fuel tank and the 425 is the smaller with the red tank. I think the quality of the housing has worsened over the years. I would love to buy a stainless steel version, even if it would cost a fair bit more…. I recently bought a Coleman and it kept burning at the tip and also lighting the manifold on fire when I tried to run it. When I turned the valve off the tip would burn for several minutes as the generator was full of liquid fuel. Testing fuel for ethanol is actually very simple, all you need is an old water bottle or glass bottle, a felt pen, some water and fuel you want to test. But it is easier once you know it’s ethanol free to fill a Jerry can at the pump then making your own.

I've cleaned out the burners themselves, but perhaps I'll take another pass at the expansion chamber area. But I am trying to figure out how the initial fuel-into-the-manifold should be working, to see if something is too rich or igniting early. I have owned my stove for over 17 years. I also own my father-in law's old 2 burner stove that was built in the early 60's. They both work beautifully! I don't know of any camping product I own that I can expect to last 40+ years. Yes it rattles, who cares? I'm not trying to hide from the Taliban here. Yes the cooking area is smaller than my stove at home. That's why i'm taking IT camping and not my range. I don't know about sharp edges, I've had my bare hands all over these stoves and they have never cut me. If they did, I wouldn't touch that spot again.Be mindful the generator might still have fuel inside it which will burn so do it outside, keeping your fingers away from the ends and don’t look down the tube while it’s hot in case something hot and burning happens to spit out of it.
