I like the oldest one, but just because of the style. Thanks for doing the video, and especially figuring out the current cost of the one from the 80's.
You asked us to make a comment so many times, I was afraid to leave without leaving a comment in fear of bad luck, lmbo. At least you have many types of stoves that you can cook a bigger meal for the family and if one stops working, there is another you can pull out of the box.
That's right I can see running out of propane, but the Colman will work on Gasoline from the emergence can of gas I carry. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Good question.. I have all but the newest peak, and a few other ones,the Canada made 576 compares with the 400 both good little units. My 502 was made in 63 I’ve had it 15 years..had to clean the generator once, the 508 has the best of the 502 and the 400.. right now the 508 is my favorite but the 502 is just cool. Keep up with the great work.. sir
I have a new one I haven’t used yet I have to get some fuel still for it not the only way to cook always have multiple propane alcohol stoves a mini wood stove fire pit especially if you live where it snows and has ice storms and can loose power for over a week or just if you live off grid always gotta have options great video bob as always
You have it dialed in with several fuel Options. That is what I am working toward. The alcohol stove takes the least amount of space and can be used for coffee making, while you cook with the other types of fuel stoves. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
That new Peak 1 550, to me, is a collector item now. It, along with another model that had a separate tank, doesn't share any parts with the standard Coleman line. New parts are basically unavailable unless you can find some new old stock somewhere. They are really nice stoves though, and were marketed as an alternative to the MSR, Optimus, and Svea stoves of the day. I carried a Coleman 440 (basically the Coleman version of the Peak 400, minus the feet) for 20+ years on backpacking and motorcycle camping trips and later in my service truck for hot coffee and lunches before switching to MSR isobutane stoves for convenience. I also have a Svea 123R that I use in colder weather because isobutane doesn't behave well in low temperatures. I think a propane or isobutane stove would be great for your chuck box because of the convenience and cleanliness with either that 400 or a Svea for a backup/spare burner. The Svea is as reliable as a rock.

I was suppressed when I put the price in the calculator. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

The stoves will work for many more years too. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment.

I like the peak, but the coleman are good too!
The Peak are made by Colman as a smaller back packing stove. Lighter in weight and can burn gasoline if that is all you have.
@@badbadbob1 nice! thank's for the info bob.

That is a great story. Thanks for the feedback on what you would use in the chuck box. I do have a few more stoves to test out.
Have 2 of the 502 they work great.
What year are your if I can ask? The date is on the shield of the valve on mine.
@@badbadbob1 Will have to see later, there in storage. Thanks for the reply.
