Still have my Grampa's 3 burner. In checking the model he bought it around 1963, a year after I was born. He always wanted a son, but only had my Mom. I had two Dads, mine and my Gramdpa. I have no doubt he bought the stove to camp with me, which we did a lot of. After realizing why he bought it, I look forward to restoring it so I can camp with my 7 grandkids!
That is so awesome. I think that is why so many people love these Stoves, they are like a time machine that takes you back and at the same time you get to create new memories for the future. I really appreciate your comment, more than you know. Both of my grandpa's died before I was born. My Nana sent us a bunch of camping gear when I was 10 or 11. I'm not sure if she was just cleaning out the garage or bought it, but one of the items was a Coleman Stove. I don't know what happened to that stove and we never used it. I regret that and maybe I'm just trying to make up for it now. Thank you for sharing such a great memory.
Good Evening ! You just can't beat these OLD COLEMANS. Propane & Butane don't like freezing temps. These are an excellent preparedness item, for those of us that live where it gets COLD in the winter, as well having fun in the hills. TAKE CARE..
The 3 burners are getting hard to find. Once mine is cleaned up, it will be the crown jewel of my collection. Maybe it's time to pick another one.1 Cheers buddy! Thanks for watching!! I appreciate it very much!
I have memories of my dad cooking on his coleman 2 burner. That was almost 60 years ago. I have a 3 burner and a 2 burner. And an avacado tent heater. If I was gonna make breakfast on the 3 burner, I would start with coffee and spam and waffles. 2 years ago I bought a Rome cast iron waffle maker. I have used it on my trangia and coleman single burner butane stove. I want to try it on a coleman stove with 2 burners to preheat both sides of the waffle maker at one time.
SPAM & waffles... You're talking my language my friend. Thank you for sharing such an awesome memory. That is the best part of these old Coleman Stoves is that there are so many awesome adventures and awesome memories tied to them. Thank you!
I almost forgot to say that brake parts cleaner in a spray can works well to clean the generator in your stove. Take it out spray it and lightly scrub with a toothbrush,spray again and let it dry. Then reassemble it and fire it up.
You didn't miss it. It will be here. I've been busy too. Lots of overtime and a lot of projects... non youtube projects that is. Building a chicken Coop, cutting down trees, fixing our mower. The list never ends and the hours at work don't help the project list. Anyway, thanks for being here, I hope everything is going well for you.
Awesome. I'm looking forward to putting this one to good use. As you can see, I like to eat. Thanks for watching! And here is to many future great outdoor adventures for both of us.
I have a old 3 burner Coleman stove. Also have a 2 burner propane Coleman stove. Have not fired up the 3 burner in quite some time. It is still in its original cardboard box.
You lucky duck! I hope this summer or when the weather gets nicer you get on out there and cook up an excellent meal on your favorite Coleman! Thanks for watching!
Didn’t know you were in a Throuple…I hope you are the Master burner….you don’t have to only have three burners for cooking I see six to have something really fancy…me myself I just have a single burner and a double burner duel fuel I bought in 2001 but have used Colman stoves for a long time…love the smell of white gas in the morning it smells like victory. You should get one of those cast aluminum grills that sit on two burners great for cooking…Have fun stay safe. 14:58
Great old stove my uncle had two these it's what I learned how to cook at elk and deer 🦌 camp 🏕 I miss that man thanks for the great memories I say memories because all my out door adventures all come from him so thanks for the great video and yes I have both of them I will be cooking on them tomorrow thanks to you you take care my friend and GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
God bless you and yours. These old Colemans have so many stories and memories tied to them, thanks for sharing yours. When I pick up a stove, I always wonder what the story behind it is. Thanks for watching and sharing a great memory. Enjoy your meal.
The painting in the background is Chief Blackhawck. Actually, it is a copy of a regionally famous painting of him, and I happen to be in the possession of the original oil painting that this is a copy of. If you have no idea of what I'm talking about, google Blackhawck Wars and kearn a little history my friends. Thank you.
@@OliveDrabAlliance if you can find it, they usually have it at Advanced Auto and AutoZone it has been reformulated over the years, so I don't know if it's still the same identical stuff but it puts like a glass lining inside of the tank
@8:50 Actually that lever is for the fuel/air pickup tube in the tank. The valve operates the tip cleaner rod that runs inside the generator and keeps the gas tip clean. Oh and regarding the yellow flame, make sure you pump the tank full of air (at least 30 - 40 full pumps) so that there is enough fuel that is pushed from the tank, through the generator and burner. I had the same issue but I only pumped it up 10 times. I read on a forum that you have to pump them up correctly or else you will get the yellow flame and black smoke. Once I corrected that issue, my 425E and 413G worked flawlessly.
I only turned the know a quarter turn. I believe it was properly pumped (as Hans & Franz would say) but I didn't open the valve enough. I was stuck on the single burner stove operations. Thanks for the insight & information. I actually want to film a cooking video tomorrow with a double burner and the Cokeman Oven. Maybe meatloaf, maybe stuffed peppers? Anyway, thank you very much
Most three-burner stoves I've seen are tired like this one. I like to use yellow bottle Heet to clean the tanks. The alcohol helps dissolve varnish and gunk.
First off nice stove with lots of "patina". Haha! If you take care of them, they will last many generations. I've been an avid Coleman liquid fueled geek for several decades. I've owned, repaired, restored, tinkered and used literally hundreds of stoves and lanterns. I don't claim to know it all, but I'm pretty close in this department. I offer these tips to help you and others, not to complain. I hope you take it in the constructive nature I intend it to be. You were doing pretty good until you lit it. 35 pumps is the minimum pump count. More is better. I explain later. With a tank that rusty, I'd pressure and leak test it first. Make sure the aux burners are off. You got the lighting lever correct in the up position. You failed the final step of opening the valve at least 2 full turns or wide open to light. 1/4 turn is for the single burner 502 and lanterns. These ain't those. After it lights, you can immediately begin adding additional pressure while it's warming up. The lighting sequence is an air hungry process. After one minute(it doesn't take that long unless it's REALLY COLD) set the lighting lever down and enjoy. Again, the lighting process uses a lot of air, so don't be afraid to add more to get a strong flame and at any time you notice it getting weaker during cooking. These instructions "should" be on the lid. If you follow them exactly and open that valve all the way, you won't get the big yellow flame and it will preheat much faster. It may seem counter intuitive, but that's how it's designed. When you open the valve fully, it allows a high volume of high velocity air to mix with and atomize the fuel in the pickup tube and won't flood the generator with liquid fuel. The lighting error you made here is the same error that basically killed these stoves. As men, we typically don't read instructions and eventually succeed through sheer brute force and tyranny of will. But in this case, so many folks did it wrong that they scared the crap out of a lot of potential happy Coleman stove users. Propane was pretty fool proof. These big yellow flaring light ups started many an unwanted conflagration. I know because I did it wrong for years. A nice old man then asked me if I followed the directions on the lid to the T. That question made me the Coleman freak I am today. I also noticed that you uncovered the hole on the pump on the backstroke. This is unnecessary. The pump leather has play that allows air to pass on the up stroke. No matter how grandpa did it. it doesn't help or do anything but slow the process. Pump between the index and middle finger and thumb over the hole makes for very fast pump ups. Try these suggestions and see what you think. You'll really like the results. Use them often and enjoy them.
@@OliveDrabAlliance This seems to be the most common explanation. Years of using lanterns and 502s reinforces the "it's a Coleman, isn't it? Quarter turn then." mentality. Understandable.
@mikemorgan5015 I have to be honest. I'm glad you pointed it out, but at the same time, I'm disappointed in myself. I really appreciate your insight and I respect your knowledge and experience. Thank you
@@OliveDrabAlliance While I appreciate the kind words, don't be disappointed. I'm here to learn as well as help out when I can. Not opening the main valve far enough, and not adding enough pressure are the two most common errors I see nearly EVERY time I see a light up in real life and on here. I only hope you pass it on and that it helps you enjoy these great appliances even more. Have a super week. If you ever have any question on Coleman liquid fueled stoves or lanterns, feel free to hit me up here. I'm happy to help. I have an old abandoned channel on here named blmeflmm66 with a handful of stove and lantern videos I made years ago. They aren't very good, but the information is generally good. Check em out when you have some time.
Now,yes,those are nice.... I do know where one is for sale,great shape, better than this one.... $60 at Rinky dinks flea market.. I just don't want one,too big for my needs
@@OliveDrabAlliance do you want me to go to the flea market and get you the really nice one, I could go up on Friday and I could upload a little TH-cam video of it for you to check out to see if you'd be interested
@wascalywabbit As much as I appreciate that, no thank you. I plan to fix up the one I have. Plus, the shipping cost alone would be quite a bit. I really do appreciate that. Good looking out my friend!

We had one of the old 2burner Coleman's... I think my Grandpa brought it over on the Mayflower in 1962 lol 😆 it was old and worked very well.
Coleman makes good stuff here in the U.S.A.
If I'm camping and not cooking over a fire, I'm cooking on a Coleman.

I love them! And yes, very useful. You have to be aware of the wind, but that's OK. I also like that they are made in the USA.
Great video! Last Coleman stove I owned was a 3 burner. Gave it up for a propane stove.....we all do silly things when we are young. Cheers!
