    Gosh, that does bring back memories! When I was a kid, we used to take vacations camping across the US (60s-70s). We had the two-burner Coleman stove, a Coleman lantern, and a green canvas tent that held all 5 of us! Wow... Such memories!

    Still have my coleman stove just like that one! Worked great 40 years ago and works great today. I too remember those S&H Green Stamps. Used to give them to customers when I was a check out boy back in 1974. Also bagged and carried groceries out to the cars for older customers and felt blessed to get a $0.25 tip! Those were better days! God Bless.

    Wes, I cannot thank you enough for doing this video. This truly brought a tear or 2 to my eye.
    I distinctly remember my father getting one of these stoves back in the early 70s when I was a kid, and he got it by saving S and H green stamps. Those of you from my generation will certainly remember the green stamps saved in little books that you could redeem for products.

      I’m from a large family and in the early 1960s we had one of those umbrella tents with the wing on both sides. The girls slept in one side and us boys in the other. Mom and Dad slept in the middle. When Dad turned off the Coleman light we would count how long before it went dark. I still use Coleman white gas/unleaded lantern and stove as they work in the cold better than propane and butane.

Mostly breakfast since dinner was usually cooked over wood at our campsites. We camped problaly every other weekend untill they left. Have a lots of good memories about those days.

    Hi Wes. I have one of those stoves as well. I don't remember if mine has the red tank or used the bottles with a connecting hose. Mine has been in the shed out back for 25 years. I bought mine outside of Denver, Colorado when I was staying at the Rocky Mountain National Park around 1985. I was forced into going into town to get it after I had made a fire to cook breakfast on and the wood there burned into ashes and left absolutely zero coals. I had bought the wood from someone riding through the campground selling it to unsuspecting tourists like me. I think the wood was Aspen. Have good days!

  • @michaelh2797

    I have eaten hundreds of meals cooked over a Coleman Camp stove. My Dad's hunting buddy used to bring his stove when we went Cottontail rabbit hunting. His was old and had a round gas tank. I t work just as good as a new one my Dad bought. You sued to be able to buy white gas at regular service stations in the 1950's long before Coleman had their brand of fuel. When that stove lit up and that beautiful blue flame was visible, my mind went back to those "good old days". Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

    Up to light, after a minute, down to burn. I have my Dad's Coleman stove purchased in the early seventies, and pulled it out earlier this year on a camping trip - worked like a champ! The cool thing about the early ones like his is that the fuel tank can be refilled without removing it from the stove. Also, the pumper has a leather seal instead of the rubber one newer ones, like yours, has. The smell is important to me, too.

When storing drain the tank and fill completely with diesel fuel, pump it up and open fuel control valve to get it all the way through the parts, and grease up any raw metal parts. Obviously drain and rinse before using again. Lots of great memories with mine too.

    Thank you for sharing that! It brings back memories of camping and field exercises when I was in the Army (once Cav, always Cav!). The white gas was great! Had the 2 burner stove and lantern, lots of use at Graffenwohr Germany. One note, that white gas will leak if someone doesn’t shut all the valves, the result is nearly burning down a GP medium tent! Bacon and Eggs, classic.

    Hey buddy, that thing looks new, yeah they built that model for years, because it was a good product, and they still work, the new ones today have all the safety stuff built into them. If you bump it, it shuts down, tilt it a bit, it shuts off, move it at all while it`s running, it shuts off, that explains the cost, gone are the days of common sense, were you set it up in a safe place away from everything, now, if you burn your house down with it, because you were heating your house with it, and fell asleep, somebody would try to sue the Company, remember the old days, when common sense was just taken for granted, we as kids played with the steel Lawn Jarts, remember them, today you would have 1,000 kids in the hospital with a Lawn Jart stuck in thier head, now they are rounded, with a little weight on the head, I bought my 10 year old daughter a set, we tried playing, and 2 of them broke on the first throw, gotta love this China junk.

  • @tombrown6464
    @tombrown6464 Год назад

    Put a capful of Seafoam into a full tank of fuel, and as you burn the tank down, it will help disolve any varnish on your check valve and the fuel intake pipe.
    Also, don't leave the fuel turned on. You will flood the stove and have a big fireball like you did. Crack the valve open until you hear the fuel coming out, then close it until you're ready to light. Leave the lever in the up position after you light the stove for a full minute.
    Yes, white gas does go bad. I've bought stoves where the fuel is yellow and smells like varnish. It still burns, but not very well. 😂😂
