We currently own 7 vintage Coleman canvas tents, about 9 stoves, 3 lanterns, 4 steel belted and 3 plastic coolers, and I am likely forgetting some other things. Man I need to have a garage sale....

Longtime Coleman collector, nothing super exotic but I do have some neat early lanterns and stove models as well as some neat family heirlooms fromantic both my parents (two burner that was their wedding present) and a nice 200A that was my wife's grandparents. I still use the lanterns on some trips in fact we do a run every year where only antique camp gear is welcome. My goto stove is a Kamp Kitchn. Going rate on a Colman appliance... about $5

My son found an old unused Coleman Lantern still in it's box a few years back... told him to leave it as such.
I have a few older stoves, one 3 burner and a 2burner dual fuel. Couple propane lanterns that I don't use, a steel belted cooler and recently 2x Coleman Colorado's.
The Colorado, and the dual fuel stove will probably be the only ones that survive my next clearance.

Did some cooking on the 435E this weekend. A hearty breakfast and some Philly Cheese Steaks

You should try philly cheese steaks in the dutch oven, google will bring up the details.

I've got a couple of 413 stoves but I have to admit that when we go camping we use propane - just so much easier (especially since we have the adapter that lets us run the propane stoves off of the 20lb propane bottle on the trailer.)

I'm still searching for the elusive single-mantle blue/black Sears to complete my blue/black Sears trio.

I just picked up a stove/grill combo, new/never used in a beat up box from my local outdoor gear consignment store. It's certainly not old, but it's an older version of what they make now so it cost less and is probably built better.

People always say the new coleman stoves are inferior quality to the old ones but I finally bought a new '16 425 since I was tired of constantly borrowing my parents old '75 413 and the build quality is the same.
I actually think the burner quality on the new 425 is better, but the sheet metal is exactly the same (thin before, thin now). My only gripe is the redesign of the hinges seem a little "floaty" but the expansion they allow allows me to pack my griddle in the stove so it may be for the best.
I think the 1960s colemans were a bit tougher but it seems the "recent cost cutting" people gripe about happened before 1975. So just get yourself a stove and go with it.

Ok, Coleman aficionados;
I've got a dual burner "PerfectFlow" stove that sounds like a 747 at full throttle with the valves barely open. Makes it virtually impossible to cook anything except steaks and to boil water. Rather quickly, but still...
Is there any way to throttle that puppy back and make the flames more controllable?
