These things are bullet proof. I came across three in one summer, for a fair price. One still new in box! Great tutorial. Pro tip: line the bottom of the stove with aluminum foil to keep it clean from over boils/grease.
My daughter is using my stove on one of her forays and called me up asking how the thing works. Its been 20 years since I used it and i could barely remember how so I decided to go to RUclips for some answers. I sent her your video and the stove is up and running as I write this. Thanks for your clear and precise instructions.
I just want to say that this video was 100% phenomenal I don't even own that stove and I watched the entire video and found it super entertaining you have a good voice to listen to and very calm... Good video
These old Coleman stoves are very effective in natural disasters and other emergencies. They require no power and can use unleaded gasoline. They do not need the expensive "white gas". So fuel for these stoves is not a problem unlike any propane based stoves. As I recall you want to use a funnel with a fine mesh or cloth filter to fill them with. Dust and dirt in the fuel can clog the orifice on the end of the generator rod.
Avoid using autogas in your Coleman liquid fuel stove. If you have the Coleman stove with the silver tank, it is compatible with unleaded autogas. Coleman representatives have advised me that autogas contains additives that will leave deposits in the generator assembly. Coleman camp stove gas is expensive, but it will keep the generator a lot cleaner in the long run. I’m dire emergencies unleaded autogas will work, preferably in the autogas compatible stove with the silver tank. Walmart sells quart and gallon containers of camp fuel (naphtha/white gas) far cheaper than the Coleman fuel.
@@NC-oc3ld No. Seafoam might create dangerous or smelly fumes. Gas works just fine. Just learn how to clean your generator and save some money. Generators don't get dirty very quickly, takes lots of use. Most folks who rag on gasoline have zero experience with it and are just repeating things they've been told! I use regular ethanol free gas all the time. I'm shocked how clean my generators are when I finally get around to cleaning them. Coleman fuel $18 a gallon, regular gas $3 a gallon. Do the math
@stevengerig6247 unleaded gas isn't stable, meant to be refined, pumped, and burned in a short time. I've burned white gas in a can dated to the 80s, and seen the difference in the fount condition of old models that burned one or the other. That said, they will burn it, and in an emergency you use whatever you've got.
@@stevengerig6247 Crown fuel is 8 dollars Coleman gas is 14 dollars. These stoves were meant to run unleaded fuel from before the days of additives in gasoline. I wouldn’t trust it.
I prime my stove with denatured alcohol using a small squirt bottle...I squirt a couple tablespoons into the burner tray and light it to pre-heat the generator. Much cleaner and a nice hot blue flame instead of the dirty yellow flame that deposits soot everywhere. Once the alcohol starts flickering out, I open the gas valve and the stove lights with a nice blue flame.
I do the exact same thing, makes lighting much cleaner, it starts with the blue flame, without the yellow fireball starting. Living in the UK Coleman fuel is extremely expensive, so I’ve used my 424 on unleaded petrol for about 3 years without any problems.
This is the most clear and easy to follow instructional on how to use these white gas Coleman grills! I just got a next to new 425 Coleman for $25 at an estate today.
Thanks a lot for this great tutorial. My 90 years old Father gave me 2 of them. It shure brings back some memories ! I used to bring the stove to camping trips to cook some meals. They are still fantastic and I prefer them to the new ones.
Thanks for making this video. Well done. My Dad used to take me camping and used one of these. Great memories and hoping to revive it and use with my boys!
You won't have the yellow flame if you open the valve all the way, all at once when lighting. That's how the instant lighting system is designed to work. Don't baby the valve. You want lots of flow as it atomizes the fuel better. As soon as it lights, you can start adding more pumps of air. Pressure is your friend here. Try it. You'll like the results. I also recommend turning the lighting lever up prior to shutdown to burn most of the liquid fuel out of the generator. When the flames start to jump off of the burner, then you can close the valve. You'll have a lot less smell and it'll light better next time too.
Thankyou so much for a detail intro into this classic stove. I saw it at a thrift store but didn’t buy but after watching your video I was the first in line outside the store door. Begure it opens. I got it! ☝️👍
We removed the indoor/outdoor gas stove from our pop up to gain more counter space and bring two Coleman stoves when we camp. There’s something about cooking outside on an old Coleman that’s just more enjoyable to cook on. Ours are from the 70’s and still kicking!
Excellent video, very helpful. My dad showed me the various steps of using the old stove, but I could never get it lit. After watching this I will give it another go and see if I can get the old girl running again.
Thanks for the refresher course. I stunk up the house the other day roasting coffee beans a little darker than usual, and decided I was moving that task outdoors. So I dug out an old Coleman stove I picked up a few years ago, from a couple having a yard sale. They bought it to use on their honeymoon, then stored it away in its original cardboard box. I still have the envelope I found inside when I opened it, with the original instructions - and a campground receipt for 2 nights at South Carlsbad Beach, Ca. for June 20-21, 1969. So it's well over fifty years old, and basically pristine. It's a 413G model, a little bigger and fancier than yours. Inside it along with the envelope, there was a Coleman filter funnel in its original box.
This is coming in clutch! My friends and I are camping and I just found out my dad still had his 413 H stove from the 70s. It looks exactly like yours but maybe bigger! Thank you so much❤
I got gifted a stove by a friend, and had no clue how it worked. This video has the same exact model as mine but cleaner. Thank you for making this as it was my first time using one of these stoves Edit: the instructions are faded and worn out on mine and near impossible to read
Better tip: use pint size liquor bottles to contain fuel. It holds 12 oz, enough to operate the stove with no danger of overfilling. To purge, just stick the gen tube in the bottle and open the valve. And the liquor bottle cap fits the gas can. No more push down & turn nonsense! Plus, the flat bottle stores inside the stove.
This is a great video! Great explanation of what's going on in the stove, and very clear instructions. The recap was helpful, as was the demo. I felt very confident by the end . My mom fed my brother and me for two months every summer on a stove like this when we were kids at the cottage.
Simple, effective, and just does the job, I love how simple this is. But….. I have seen people using this stove on campsites with the yellow flames engulfing the entire cooker, so you really need to know how to operate this thing correctly.
I have my grandpa's stove and it works better than any of the newer ones I have tried. It's a beast and will outlive us all!!! I am going to look but I really hope that you have some cleaning videos to get it in tip top shape!
got my one second hand, the person I got it off , could not light it properly, it keep lighting inside the vaporizing bit, he said he was doing as per the instructions, so got it and tested it, as per instructions, and yes, it did light inside vaporizing bit, flames shooting out of the air holes, so had a cup of coffee and a think, not a expert on these things, more of a 96 stove man, meself, set it up, and done it my my, , open up value just enough so that I could hear the hiss, put match to it, and bingo, it worked, done this a few times, and it worked ever time, done it the right way, as per instructions, flames inside tube, it was letting in too much fuel doing it the instructions way, not every stove works the same way, found that out with a good old 96, plus some people do not practice using stoves, before they go out, very good vid by the way
Excellent video. I have 2 of these types of Coleman stoves. The only problem they have is the rubber seal in the fuel cap deteriorates eventually. An easy replacement. And the plunger rubber seal deteriorates eventually. An easy repair too. Coleman makes the replacement parts. They are inexpensive.
Very clear and quite thorough. Thanks, it has been many years since I have been camping and our buddy(the designated cook) used one of these for meal prep! P.S., I am 75 years old, and my kids and grandkids probably have never used this white gas model.
A very informative video . thank you . I started to collect those stoves many years ago and I think as it sits I have 4 of them in the garage on a shelf . plus fuel of course . I lucked out several years ago and found one of the metal stands Coleman used to sell to put the stoves on . a folding metal stand . it had rust on it so I cleaned it up somewhat and put green rust check paint on it . the funnel I use has a very fine screen in it . these stoves have gone up in price big time . they are something like $179 brand new in Canada . I remember buying them on the used market for $5 to $10 dollars each . I have one I bought from a friends garage sale . it had been sitting up in his attic forever . they used to use it when he was a child . it's dated 1963 on the back of the tank . it's in near mint shape . I think I'll go haul them down today or tomorrow to check on them .
I have one I use at 10,000 feet and above in Colorado off-roading. They are the best I can't believe how well they work at any altitude. Very simple design and they last forever way better than gas canisters.
Much appreciated good sir, I picked up one of these at a local Goodwill for ten dollars and it must be an older model as it does not have instructions on the lid. Tested it out with your advice and sure enough, it works great! Thanks for clarifying the operation, now I understand the stove well enough to use with confidence, and good camp times to be had!
I still have one of these from the late 80s, which will come out of retirement for a few months, while I modify the existing stove arrangement on my boat. As of a few years back, there were servicing kits for the tank, including the hand pump. When pouring fuel, turn the can sideways with the width of the can horizontally. This allows more air to enter the can, allowing the fuel to flow smoothly, therefore no spills. This works with any fluid container. Great video.
Mo ! I'm amazed at how many people don't know this. Any one born after Boomer's are just naked ape's mentally and physically . They all need "Dirty Jobs" to become normal. Remember, "Righty Tighty, Lefty Loose" well they have never heard of it ? God help us....
Me too! Mine is an antique and in great condition. Paid $6 like 7yrs ago and about to get it ready to use if I need it with this hurricane headed to us in the Florida gulf coast.
Thank you so much! I just bought an old pop up camper with no stove top. Then I remembered I have one of these stoves that was given to me many years ago but never have used it or even know how to. I'm glad I watched your video because now I won't be saying "I wonder what this part does🤔, do I even need this part🤔? Where's my plyers and hacksaw🤔? Time to take some of these parts out and see if I can make this baby blaze up😁. Then try to come up with a lie on how I know longer have eyebrows, eye lashes and a sudden sun tan on my face🙄.
I am one of the lucky ones to have a three burner camp stove and I love it I can have my coffee plus cook at the same time. It's an antique but it keeps on going
Use caution with the Colman fuel it is extremely flammable as I learned the hard way, my son thought it would be a good idea to use it as a starter fluid for wood and when I came behind him to start It, It blows up in my face and hand, causing first and second degree burns the explosion destroyed a very strong brick and mortar barbecue. Please be careful and don't miss use it or store it near any spark or flame.
Yes funny story, back in 1990 my family was camping in BC Canada and we set the stove up and me, knowing how to do it as shown here but after it was set up I accidentally turned the gas on and left it, my dad came by to light it 45 seconds later and Whooooosh!!!! The flames 🔥 were 4 feet high!!! RIP Mom and Dad but that was soo funny, I'll remember it forever!! 😎
I have had one of these for almost 5 years because my dad died and left one behind in his home. Sad story; he wanted to go camping one day. My brother had died 18 years ago and I wasn't really his camping buddy. I was waiting for my son to be mature enough to go. We lost that opportunity. I want to learn how to camp and show my son. I need to learn how to fish too.
I think you have the gift of teaching. This is one of the best instructional videos ever, my friend. Great voice, clear instructions, and you made my anxiousness at getting this thing lit go away. Kudos! Sub'd
To shut down, turn the starter rod in the Up position so the liquid fuel disapates and only gas is burning then after one minute close the main valve and let cool.
Good video. Did a great job of going through all the steps and explaining what to do. These are awesome stoves. Love mine. They are easy to use and pretty much indestructible.
Thank you for using , coleman fuel. You have somewhat put me at ease. Tomorrow or the next day I hope to run a leak test, then proceed with first light of mynew stove. I hope to cook some burgers and try an omlette. I used to watch members of the yacht club use these coleman stoves quite often but never pursued learning their proper function. Thanx for the demonstration most greatful.
Hey thanks. I found one of these in my garage that I'm told hasn't been used in 25 years. I was a little skeptical that the generator was supposed to go over the burner but it was. The stove lit by the way. Both main and auxiliary burner.
I ate many meals cooked on similar Coleman stoves set up in roadside parks on road trips back in the 1950's and 1960's. Also used these stoves on many Boy Scout camping trips. They are rugged and will cook a meal. But don't expect the same kind of results as you get from a modern gas stove in your home. First, it doesn't take much wind to really interfere with the flame of the burners. The wind screens help somewhat but outdoor cooking in even light breeze conditions is difficult. In a heavy breeze, it becomes a grueling chore. Due to combustion by products however, this stove should not be used in an enclosed space. Second, the burners are small which is good enough for heating up a can of pork and beans in a small pot. But they are not well suited for cooking a large 10" skillet full of food or boiling a 6 qt. pot of stew. The stove can do it, but it will take a lot longer than you think to heat up a large pot with a lot of food in it. If you are not in a hurry, then you can cook pretty much anything. Essentially, these stoves are best for heating up simple meals for one person. They are not really designed for cooking large quantities of food to feed an entire Boy Scout troop or hungry family. That said, everyone should own one of these as a backup emergency cooking device for power outages or natural disaster situations. They are essential for a storm shelter or survival bunker if the area has good ventilation. Great video but no need to repeat the same set of instructions within the video. The video length could have been half as long and still covered every single aspect.
Great tutoral on how to use these old coleman stoves. Thank you!! I just purchased a used coleman 421e tourist 1977 for 30 canadian. A little tricky when turning the air valve open. Not exactly pointed up to work. Have a happy holiday. 🙂✌🏻👍🏻💥🔥
Great video! I still have mine in the box, price tag says $23.49! Same as yours; date code stamp is 11/76. Still going strong! Also had a flat griddle that sits on top of the burners in the box; had to make those eggs and bacon the easy way on that, ya know! 😁Too bad they don't make things like they used to......
I’m glad I found this instructions I bought mine 23 years ago when the world was going to end lol never used it still in seal box now I’m in Fl and with these hurricane I’m gonna try to use it I’ll just have get the fuel thank you for the video I saved it for future reference 😊
i have a bad habbit of collecting the stoves and lanterns i got too many LOL. these things come in very handy durring an emergency. my house is all electric so when the power goes out . i can still make food. i do have one stove that is in really bad shape so i use it to melt lead to make fishing weights and such, but i dont use it for anything else. i have propane stoves and lanterns as well in side the house i will normaly use the propane ones when needed over the gas ones, you got to be safe with these things. but there is nothing better than camping and cooking on these stoves , for some reasion the food seems to taste better. espically when you use cast iron pans. every body should have one in case of emergency. espically people who live in coastal areas and tornado areas. stay safe out there people
Great explanation all the way up to the control valve and lighting lever. Lever and valve only control Fuel no oxygen or air. Just fuel. Generator pipe goes into Gas (fuel) air ratio mixing chamber then out to burner.
Great video well, detailed and easy to understand. Question, what is the runtime on a full tank running on both burners and can this stove be useable in adverse cold temperatures and wind like -10 Celsius with some wind. Thanks.
Хобби
These things are bullet proof. I came across three in one summer, for a fair price. One still new in box! Great tutorial. Pro tip: line the bottom of the stove with aluminum foil to keep it clean from over boils/grease.
Im glad someone did a video. I was never taught how to properly use these old coleman stoves
i have a coleman stove the same as this , it's been in my garden shed for years i lit it today after watching this and lit easy .
My daughter is using my stove on one of her forays and called me up asking how the thing works. Its been 20 years since I used it and i could barely remember how so I decided to go to RUclips for some answers. I sent her your video and the stove is up and running as I write this.

These old Coleman stoves are very effective in natural disasters and other emergencies. They require no power and can use unleaded gasoline. They do not need the expensive "white gas".

Use caution with the Colman fuel it is extremely flammable as I learned the hard way, my son thought it would be a good idea to use it as a starter fluid for wood and when I came behind him to start
It, It blows up in my face and hand, causing first and second degree burns the explosion destroyed a very strong brick and mortar barbecue.
Please be careful and don't miss use it or store it near any spark or flame.
Coleman fuel is gasoline...so, yes, it's quite flammable...
Great details
Faithful old workhorse camp stove. I've owned one for close to 40 years and it still works perfectly! Great product, great revue.
Do you why it's operating fantastic for several minutes the flames just pops and the burner goes out??
@@Roddy1965 I'd guess it needs to be pumped up some more. I give my stove 10-15 pump strokes every 10 minutes or so.
@@Roddy1965 Try giving the fuel pump a few extra strokes (I usually add 10-15) every 10 minutes or so to keep the tank pressurized.

Yes funny story, back in 1990 my family was camping in BC Canada and we set the stove up and me, knowing how to do it as shown here but after it was set up I accidentally turned the gas on and left it, my dad came by to light it 45 seconds later and Whooooosh!!!! The flames 🔥 were 4 feet high!!! RIP Mom and Dad but that was soo funny, I'll remember it forever!! 😎
I have had one of these for almost 5 years because my dad died and left one behind in his home. Sad story; he wanted to go camping one day. My brother had died 18 years ago and I wasn't really his camping buddy. I was waiting for my son to be mature enough to go. We lost that opportunity. I want to learn how to camp and show my son. I need to learn how to fish too.
Love Coleman products and especially their camping stoves and lanterns
Thank you! I needed to know how to operate my Coleman 425F for expected power outages this winter! Your video was great!
I think you have the gift of teaching. This is one of the best instructional videos ever, my friend. Great voice, clear instructions, and you made my anxiousness at getting this thing lit go away. Kudos! Sub'd
Man I just found one of these one the side of the road!! The pump needs work but I’m definitely restoring this and using it lol
To shut down, turn the starter rod in the Up position so the liquid fuel disapates and only gas is burning then after one minute close the main valve and let cool.
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing it.
Excellent tutorial! Thanks for sharing!
Good video. Did a great job of going through all the steps and explaining what to do. These are awesome stoves. Love mine. They are easy to use and pretty much indestructible.
You video was the best how and troubleshooting for this stove, thank you
Thank you for the tutorial. I just picked one up at a garage sale. Looking forward to starting it up...
Thank you for this Video, you did a great job explaining. I just bought one in an Estate Sale and didn't have a clue as to what went in the Fuel Tank.
Excellent video! Thanks a million!
Excellent class on this stove. Thanks
Thank you for using , coleman fuel. You have somewhat put me at ease. Tomorrow or the next day I hope to run a leak test, then proceed with first light of mynew stove. I hope to cook some burgers and try an omlette. I used to watch members of the yacht club use these coleman stoves quite often but never pursued learning their proper function. Thanx for the demonstration most greatful.
Hey thanks. I found one of these in my garage that I'm told hasn't been used in 25 years. I was a little skeptical that the generator was supposed to go over the burner but it was. The stove lit by the way. Both main and auxiliary burner.
Thanks, the video was very useful for me.
I spot a teacher! Thanks very much!!
This was exactly what I was looking for...very informative! Thank you!
So much information! Thanks! I literally just picked up a almost new unit. 🙏
Same. Mine says 11-03 but it looks brand new, barely used. Paid $20CAD
Very helpful. Thank you.
Fantastic video! Ty
Excellent instruction! Thanks❤
Thanks. Very helpful
Thanks fir the lesson. Super clear.
I ate many meals cooked on similar Coleman stoves set up in roadside parks on road trips back in the 1950's and 1960's. Also used these stoves on many Boy Scout camping trips. They are rugged and will cook a meal. But don't expect the same kind of results as you get from a modern gas stove in your home. First, it doesn't take much wind to really interfere with the flame of the burners. The wind screens help somewhat but outdoor cooking in even light breeze conditions is difficult. In a heavy breeze, it becomes a grueling chore. Due to combustion by products however, this stove should not be used in an enclosed space.
Second, the burners are small which is good enough for heating up a can of pork and beans in a small pot. But they are not well suited for cooking a large 10" skillet full of food or boiling a 6 qt. pot of stew. The stove can do it, but it will take a lot longer than you think to heat up a large pot with a lot of food in it. If you are not in a hurry, then you can cook pretty much anything. Essentially, these stoves are best for heating up simple meals for one person. They are not really designed for cooking large quantities of food to feed an entire Boy Scout troop or hungry family.
That said, everyone should own one of these as a backup emergency cooking device for power outages or natural disaster situations. They are essential for a storm shelter or survival bunker if the area has good ventilation.
Great video but no need to repeat the same set of instructions within the video. The video length could have been half as long and still covered every single aspect.
Thnx for the video. Good explanations.
Great tutoral on how to use these old coleman stoves. Thank you!!
I just purchased a used coleman 421e tourist 1977 for 30 canadian. A little tricky when turning the air valve open. Not exactly pointed up to work. Have a happy holiday.
🙂✌🏻👍🏻💥🔥
thank you sir your explanation is very easy to understand
A nice refresher! Thanks!✌🏼
Awesome instructional video!!!
Great video! I still have mine in the box, price tag says $23.49! Same as yours; date code stamp is 11/76. Still going strong! Also had a flat griddle that sits on top of the burners in the box; had to make those eggs and bacon the easy way on that, ya know! 😁Too bad they don't make things like they used to......
Just got mine, 5$. Kinda beat up, operates perfect! Thanks for the instructions.
Awesome video thanks mate
This thing is awesome, wish i had the exact same one!
I’m glad I found this instructions I bought mine 23 years ago when the world was going to end lol never used it still in seal box now I’m in Fl and with these hurricane I’m gonna try to use it I’ll just have get the fuel thank you for the video I saved it for future reference 😊
i have a bad habbit of collecting the stoves and lanterns i got too many LOL. these things come in very handy durring an emergency. my house is all electric so when the power goes out . i can still make food. i do have one stove that is in really bad shape so i use it to melt lead to make fishing weights and such, but i dont use it for anything else. i have propane stoves and lanterns as well in side the house i will normaly use the propane ones when needed over the gas ones, you got to be safe with these things. but there is nothing better than camping and cooking on these stoves , for some reasion the food seems to taste better. espically when you use cast iron pans. every body should have one in case of emergency. espically people who live in coastal areas and tornado areas. stay safe out there people
This video was extremely helpful!
Thanks for your help
Great info!
Thanks, I didn't know how to use the aux burner. I do now
Good video. Thank you
Thanks for the video!
great guide
Great tutorial finally I can use my stove after 1hr trying to get my stove working and almost ready to throw it away
Great explanation all the way up to the control valve and lighting lever. Lever and valve only control Fuel no oxygen or air. Just fuel. Generator pipe goes into Gas (fuel) air ratio mixing chamber then out to burner.
This video did me a HUGE favor! What a great channel my friend! I subbed.
Great video well, detailed and easy to understand. Question, what is the runtime on a full tank running on both burners and can this stove be useable in adverse cold temperatures and wind like -10 Celsius with some wind. Thanks.
Awesome! Thank you! I now have 🔥
