So cool! This very nice lady gave me a bunch of stuff That was in her Late husband's garage. Amongst the items most of which i'm going to recycle was this exact stove! It's really nice to have a video That can give me at least a clue how to Set it up and use it Thank you!😊👍✌️
Thank you for this video. I found a KampKook three burner stove at my local Goodwill store many years ago. This guide will hopefully help me to get my old stove working once again.
Very cool! Love these old stoves. Built like tanks. When you light these things, or ANY instant lighting gasoline stove, I STRONGLY recommend AGAINST test opening the valve until you see fuel squirt out of the gas tip. By that time, you have already flooded the generator. The black air induction lighting valve should be open a full turn BEFORE opening the main valve when lighting. The main valve seat is downstream of the air induction valve so you won't lose pressure until the main valve opens. Do NOT close the black air valve until the generator is making gas(1-2min, it's a big hunk of metal) or if you still have yellow flames. You may need to add pumps to keep the air velocity up for good atomization. Once you get the hang of it, these light just as clean as a Coleman. The basic principles are the same, lots of air, lots of pressure, lots of flow = blue flames and clean starts. How effective the "filter" is/was at trapping lead is beyond my level of expertise, but I know they were not designed to be cleaned easily. I only have one of these and don't want to perform exploratory surgery on it. Haha! The fuel pickup on these is a tiny precision drilled metering orifice with a protective screen to prevent clogging. This was common on many AGM products. In a way, it was ahead of it's time. Much later, Coleman got away from their original instant lighting valve(on single burners and lanterns anyway) and went to cheaper plastic pickup tubes with precision pickup orifices to enable instant lighting. They all work fine if you keep them clean. The trade off that you may notice is that the newer Colemans with this design require more pumping, especially when the fuel level gets low. With a dedicated air valve, this is not an issue. It open directly to a large orifice at the top of the tank on the main valve body. Check you Non Return Valve(NRV) on the pump often. It's really the only weak part of this design, in my opinion. Great stoves!
I’ve never had one of these but I suspect maybe it took a while to get that giant generator hot AND maybe most of what was left of the old gas had been purged and you were getting good fuel at the end? Like others have said, this old technology still works well even after years of neglect. 👍🏼
Very cool video. I’d never heard of the Kamp Kook brand, but i have several stoves and lanterns from Coleman. The thing that always wows me is this old technology that has passed the test of time. The iconic sound of the stoves and lanterns prompts strong childhood memories. Enjoy your resurrected stove.
The new fuel probably cleaned out the generator to give more fuel . Goes to show that these stoves need to be run every once in a while . If there going back in storage only use Colmen fuel . Next .

The left knob works like the Coleman up to light down to burn lever. After generator heats up close left knob and pump more air into tank.
Just the colors of the stove and lantern are great.
I have learned a great deal from Old Town Coleman . The stove you have is really a very similar design
Thanks for sharing with us. I recently purchased the same stuff guess I need to get mine running now once again thank you for sharing what the

maybe that unidentified part in the beginning of the video was to be attached to the auxiliary burner valve adjustment .
