- Today I'm conducting a camping stove repair to fix the low flame on my 10 year old stove. This video will walk you through how to tear down and rebuild your stove, how to fix a gas leak, how to clean the jets and how to fix yellow flame on a camp stove. After this, your stove will perform like new again!

You've made a rather dry subject rather interesting and informative. Bloody well done.
This nearly made me buy a gas cooker just so I could wear it out and fix it for that satisfaction
Seriously?!?!? Induction is the way forward!
No jets no gas no flavour.
@@ryantilley-general.shenanigans Oh yeah, I can't wait for my microwave to arrive
@@firetofork at first i read this as sarcasm, but since you just moved 2 million kms it might actually be true.
@@ryantilley-general.shenanigans I'd rather eat my dog
@@firetofork its not a micowave, its a tucker fucker get it right geeezzz, also yes you should get a gas cooker
Surprisingly few videos on doing maintenance on stoves like this. Thanks for making this! Explained a lot.
Yeah! People just toss them out cos they are pretty cheap. Bit of a shame when it's so easy to fix
Thank you! This tutorial is perfect! You saved our asses in NZ. I can't wait to repair my stove tomorrow and cook again. Cheers!
Thank you!!!! As you promised, stove is back to its original flaming glory!!!!😊
What a highly informative and well made video. Has given me the confidence to tackle my sister-in-law’s three burner. Well done!
Thanks mate. A bottlebrush to scrape the jets fixed my problem in 5 seconds.
Cheers Alex, reducing the old carbon footprint is all about this kind of thing, not buying new when a refurb will do!
Very informative video and was well explained. There is one thing my Dad told me years ago and that is when you’ve finished cooking to leave the burners running and then turn off the bottle’s tap. After the burners run use the gas just remember to close them off until next required. This prevents the gel forming in the tinsy (my term) jets over time.
I like that! I try and do the same with mine, however I had never thought of the fact it could burn off any sticky crap that would otherwise be left behind. It's a good habit to form
Thank you for your valuable tips to clean our Camping propane dual burner stove.
Good to see a bit of reduce, reuse and recycle in this throw away world.
Might I suggest that people look a bit closer at what they are buying and ask a few questions before buying the cheapest crap they can as it will likely save them money in the long run.
I have a Coleman dual fuel stove that I run on unleaded fuel and it feels bulletproof. Parts are also easily available if required from what I have seen.
Always cheaper buying something once.
100% mate I make an effort to buy good quality gear and second hand where I can too. Then you get it at the same price as the cheaper shit is new, and it'll last you forever! Those old Coleman stoves are pretty bulletproof and it helps that they've barely changed the design for yeaaaars
@@Alex.G I have the lantern as well but for its size and output it struggles against modern LED lights It is handy to have either way in case of power failure at home.
The thing I like about the petrol is that it is cheap and easy to get/carry, heat output is good and I'm not carrying a gas bottle around in the car.
Thanks very much mate, big help!!! Thanks from Wales
I've just done a clean out of my stove too. A spray of carburetor/choke cleaner followed by a blast of air does a very quick job on all the parts. Great to learn that boiling water/dish detergent would be a solution out in the bush, Thanks Alex. 👍 Cheers from Canada.
this is a really well made video and has given me everything i need to fix my old burner instead of having to chuck it in landfill and buy another. Thank you so much for all the effort!!
Fantastic video! Can’t wait to try this on my stove. Thanks!
Best video! Thank you!
Nice one! That was actually very useful info. Thanks.
Sorted my burner out - it was the grease build up in the pin prick hole of the little brass bits. Wasnt able to boil water to clean them (as my stove was in pieces..) so i just used cold water and dish soap and a brush, seems to have worked.
You saved it from landfill - thanks!
Thanks for these tips. Yellow flame and sooty mess fixed!
Awesome tips Alex. Applicable to so many cookers
Cheers Mike 🙂 yeah I guess they're all the same basic principle with varying levels of complexity surrounding them
Thanks man. Cleaning those venturis with the boiling water. Game changer
Great video, many thanks.
Excellent video, thanks for posting 👍
Thankyou so much for this great information. Brought my gas stove back to being good as new after removing and cleaning the jets.
I love to hear this! It's so rewarding getting that flame to roar again hey!
I tried this with the old 20 year old two burner stove I had stored in the attic. The right hand burner still works great, left hand the flame is very low. It didn't help. Oh well, the old gas camping stove is just there for a back up. The left hand burner will be good for doing my slow cook beef stews, I guess.
I still love my two burner Dometic Origo 3000 metho cooker. One thing I'd never part with because it's simple and never fails.
A very informative & useful video mate. Keep’em coming Alex
Cheers Victor 👍
I have the exact same stove that I bought 2nd hand for $15, I just spent $75 on a carry bag and some replacement knobs and one of the burners stopped working almost immediately. Thanks for your video, looking forward to giving it a try.
Thanks SO much for this video. very well done, and so informative. You've shown how to refurbish my stove in a way that was easy for me to follow and understand. I just know my little cooker will be up and running well very soon, thanks to your help. I use my Coleman out on my screen porch in summertime for canning. It puts out more heat, quicker, than my indoor gas range by far. I call it my "outdoor canning kitchen". It keeps the house from getting overly warm during summer months and has been a Godsend for me. And with canning season coming up soon, I need to be ready! Again, thanks!!!
So glad to hear this helped you Barbara. Happy canning and thanks for the comment :)
Great info session mate. Cheers
Thanks heaps for this - almost bought a new cooker thinking mine was poked. Works like a charm now!
So stoked to hear that! Another good cooker saved from the rubbish heap 😁
Well done mate, a solid how to fix. We seem to forget about the maintenance side of things and get hung up on the shiny bits. No good tricking it out with no maintenance. Davi b
great video back to basic well done
Love this so much ♻️
thanks for the video man, just took mine apart and straight away I could see the gue and oily gas residue all over. Now it works perfectly fine
Awesome! I love it when people comment on this video and it's fixed their stove. So satisfying 😁
thank you very much!! great video
Hi Alex, good practical advice. Cheers
Thanks Ian 🙂
Thank you.
Magnificent!
Cool video buddy 👍👍👍
The breather underneath... Might be why my stove is a bit of a flame thrower! Thanks for the vid, useful info!
THANK YOU!
The air vent on the burners tend to get fat drip down and block it..makes it even more prevalent when trying to light it in very cold temperatures...good info Alex.
That's a good point there. Would only take a couple of decent bacon brekky cook ups to do that too!
Awesome thanks
Thanks maaate, all fixed up
Aright, first of all, digging the short hair and beard, and thanks for making the vid since I am a Colemon guy at the moment this gonna be useful a lot love it
Luv ya work buddy
Cheers Craig!
Awesome vid mate, will keep that in mind when mine plays funny buggers
Nice
Perfect! I've got a 2 burner and was looking for solutions to the exact same problem. You're a lifesaver! Got a patreon or something? I'd love to chip in some $ as gratitude for you sharing this info 😊
So glad it helped Jaibin! I've stepped back from RUclips and so don't have a Patreon any longer, but just knowing that together we've saved a stove from the bin is enough for me 🙂
Fantastic video! I was given this exact burner and will be running through it to hopefully get it running. Do you happen to know of a compatible replacement hose?
Awesome to know another could be saved from the dump 😁 with the hose, they are a pretty common thing. Look up "Companion gas hose" on Tentworld.com.au. You'll probably want to take the stove into a camping store to make sure you get the right thread type, but they should be available off shelf just about anywhere.
Had some earwig nest in one of my tubes. Thank you!!!
Haha! You know in my research for this video I did find suggestions that earwigs like the smell of the gas and that this is not uncommon!
Live the vid have just assumed the old 30 year one I grab from what my grandparents use may be good with a Reno coming up. Anyone know if you and buy the supply copper tubing at any camp stores
Try a plumbing supplies wholesaler for the copper tubing, I've bought some small diameter stuff there before
@@Alex.G yer cool no worries might give that a try
another great video mate :) Can I ask..... the last time we went camping over Christmas and used our 2 burner stove, that's similar to yours, we left the Stove and Bottle connected, but off unless we were cooking. When I went to pack them up at the end of the holiday (in the morning after using it the night before), the Connection at the stove end was freeeeezing cold...... any idea of why that might be? I'm very iffy on using them again, until I can be confident that it will be safe to use. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Don (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)
I used to drive gas forklifts and if there was a slight leak or the valve wasn't opened enough you could get the valve freezing up.
I'm no expert so dyor but doing what he did with the soapy water may indicate a problem if there is a leak.
I reckon old bloke has a better answer than I can give to that one. I will pitch in and say I had a very similar thing happen with a lantern on a gas bottle years ago. It never did it again, so I put it down to maybe a bit of grit stuck somewhere.
@@Alex.G No worries, thanks for that Alex and Old Bloke :) I will get it out, give it a bit of a clean and see how it goes. Cheers :)
thanks will do it on mine :). yes you are right, we shouldn't throw awaw things like that.
I would like to see what to do when you do get bubbles from the soap mix.
I have bubbles and hiss from thread on stove and don't know how to fix it
the jets on mine are definitely the problem after being packed away for 5yrs I was getting no gas to the burner on any of the elements gas was able to move past the knob after removing the jet, but the jet isn't like yours or the replacements on ebay etc it is a similar size/shape but has no hole at all (appears solid at both the threaded end and the end where the gas is supposed to exit to the burner)
Do you happen to have a source to find O-rings for the Gas burner valves ? Or is there a kit to replace all the O-rings ? I have an issue with 1 burner valve flashover...the O-rings for 1 valve are leaking..
Thanks..
I only didn't mention it in the video knowing everyone's local camping store will be different but I got all my seals from my local Getaway Outdoors
Hold up a second, where did the screen door fridge cage go? Looks a bit fancy back there.
Yeah I haven't said much about that yet! Changed it all out for a nicer drawer system, I've filmed the install but just had to fill it all out to finish off the vid 😁 that being said my screen door served me so well!
What brand of stove is that ? I have one just like it and I can't find the hose for it anything would help. Thax
It is a kookaburra brand stove. If you're in Australia you should be able to find a hose pretty easy. Try Snowys Outdoors, I know they have them
Some strange people refer to those as cookers, we have always called them food burners.
Mine ranges from high to melt the saucepan.
Ryan you must have one of those fyreknight stoves? They're known for being pretty nuclear! Only time I've been known to burn stuff on them is when I got distracted by beers 😄
@@Alex.G to be honest i don't actually use my one, i just though I'd join the banter, Haha. Real men use induction cook tops out bush anyway! (More lies). Oxy acetylene is the way to go (lies)
I'm a $15 cartridge stove guy at the moment, i just don't like taking a bottle around.
Hello. Do you know why a brand new hose could be leaking? It is coming out of the threads of the connection. Cheers
Could be a missing seal or a manufacturing defect
Thanks Alex. How's the HJ61 build going??
It's going well. Jake has a lot more time to work on it than I have to film it. So there's plenty of stuff that never made it to the camera. I think I'll pop one up next week, replacing the disc brakes on it 🙂
Cheers for replying. I was flicking back through your videos the other night wondering if I’d missed some. The car builders insulation install and the door trim repair were great. Same goes for the suspension swap. Quite entertaining. Thanks for doing what you do!
What do you do if the brass fitting it leaking?
There are a few brass fittings so it depends which one is leaking. Probably put a new seal on it, you can get them easy from a camping shop
I must have missed the video on the new drawer setup!
This is just a sneaky peek of it 😁 got the drawer video almost ready to go 👍
@@Alex.G looks the goods mate. Looking forward to it
Great video mate.....nice to see tips on getting away from the throw it away society we are in! Also drawers in the back look bloody awesome mate they have came up a treat!
Toss it in the trash? Are you in America now?
Good one though Alex
There were regrets in the editing room over that piece I can assure you 😐
You kept mentioning the "knobs". Are these Patrol drivers? Are the "jets" Toyota drivers? And about the right hose - I'm 1" short. Definitely the wrong hose ...
If anyone has an ultrasonic bath i think it would work a treat cleaning this lot up.
I was thinking just the same thing when I took them out. I had a little ultrasonic cleaner but it broke. Was awesome for cleaning carburetor parts
I tend to have a burning sensation
With some of the dodgy massage parlors you frequent I'm not surprised mate!
Any unusual discharge?
@@ryantilley-general.shenanigans Burns when I pee
@@Alex.G Always need to look for the happy ending mate
@@4x4CampingandAdventures hahahaha
Hahahaha. LPG gas bottle. 😉
The thumbs down is from the manufacturer.
😄 yeah or maybe someone who threw out their gas stove yesterday before they saw this
New ones are rubbish thin steel
Bent straight out of the box
Grease in the burner wont even light grrrr
