Coleman Stoves

[kevint]

Some suggest adding some Seafoam (any auto store carries) into the bit of Coleman fuel I suggested adding and then burning off

That's funny. As I've been following this thread, I've wondered about using Seafoam. It works magic in my Honda generator. I was afraid to put Seafoam in my coleman fuel for fear I'd "splode myself to smithereens." Also, it makes a fair bit of white smoke in my generator.

Has anyone actually tried this idea?

How come you can't use that kind of Coleman stove inside?

Just don't use 'em inside an enclosed space.

I love my Coleman 425. I have had it close to 18 years I believe. Parents bought it for me for my birthday when I was a teen. My wife just bought a barely used 424 for $15 yesterday. I am going to try the Seafoam when I get back from overseas, very informative.

Carbon Monoxide.

Are there any camp type stoves you can use inside?

Kicking my self

For years, I have used an old stove that was given to me by my inlaws. It was a Coleman of unsure vintage that I converted to propane with a cheap adapter and hoses to a 20 pound bottle. I was also given a red Coleman single mantle lantern. I had some extra funds and up graded to late model stuff and gave away my old stuff and now I really miss it. Both items were from the 50's and were in good working order. I am trying to gather up some old stuff for the Old Iron Runs and Relic Runs (though not required for Old Iron Runs) and it is hard to find since I hate to waste time going to yard sales and swap meets. Sure miss the old stuff now.

Antique/junk shops are a great source for old Coleman stuff. My first 3 lanterns came from antique shops and the most we paid for any of them was maybe $35.

I bought a coleman 2 burner stove off of CL two days ago. Seems to be pretty decent condition, even got a gallon of Coleman fuel with it (CF is $10/gallon at most stores!)

Most, just have plenty of ventilated. And watch the flame for any change that could indicate change in atmospheric gas composition
