- In this video I give you an overview on the dual fuel camp stove I use when camping in my home made camper van. This stove can use butane or propane fuel. It can be used by the occasional camper or everyday van dweller. If you would like to buy the stove to try for yourself, I have included an amazon link below. Thanks for watching.

OMG...your monotone delivery of the line, "we might just blow ourselves up", followed by the explosion is hysterically funny. Can't remember when I laughed so hard. Consider me "subscribed"!
I had one of these butane only model for backup stove and gave it away during a long power outage, but will try one of the dual fuel type. Propane burns hotter so a bit more efficient burn than butane. Propane is safe, as long as there a visible flame. It's only when you have a leak, or open valve and no flame that can ruin your day. Propane is heavier than air, so it sinks. Great video, and a cool lifting bed.
Morning, we just bought a stove similar to this one except it only uses the butane. We decided to ditch the cooking with coals and try this method instead. It does look easy and we would have used it but bad weather is creating in. Might get to use our new stove this nest weekend. We camp in our van but not in snow or freezing weather. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for a great video. I am receiving a butane/propane stove as a gift from my son and now I know how to use it. Not sure about how to disconnect the propane. But a very informative video.
(It’s the opposite of how you connect the propane to the stove.).
1. Disconnect the hose from the propane bottle first.
2. Then the stove.
If you disconnect from the stove first, you will get propane gassing from the bottle.
Thank you so much for this video. I got a dual fuel stove because of this video. Especially helped me to overcome my propane fears.
Yea, just be careful when you screw hose on propane bottle, as long as it don't spark it shouldn't blow up, it rarely happens!!!
Your van is absolutely beautiful
Excellent. Straightforward. Easy to understand. Perfect. Thanks.
Nice simple burner this. ...and inexpensive. Great choice for short trips.
Great information!
Thank you so much for showing us☺️
Ty, I like the easy igniting on your cook top. I use a single burner propane Coleman cook top. It needs a lighter to get it fired up.
It is very convenient having the ignition on the stove.
Fantastic instruction, thanks
Excellent video simple pragmatic without going into the physical, nano atomics of wherever. Thanks I leaned a lot.
Good review I don't like when people take first ever to talk about something so simple. They get long winded and off the subject, you did great
Thanks. I hope you got some of your negativity out of your system by trying to belittle me. Hope it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Explosion part was funny.....thanks for the video
Just a warning about these types of stoves. The 12,000 BTU ones melt the metal pot-stands. Mine is 6,300 BTU, and it boils water just fine. They also come in 9 and 10.
I have the Gas One brand dual fuel stove. It looks like eactly like yours. It works good for me. Only small complaint is the pot/pan grate could be better.
Shawn bailey.parkie75 I am familiar with the gas one brand. Exact same thing. Have you seen their new dual fuel stove? It looks a lot better.
great little stoves, we just upgraded to a 2 burner one for like 40$, I thought that was a bit much as the singles are like 12$ around here
I like your presentation. The van blowing up was funny. I have a 1988 VW Westy. I removed the factory stove for many reasons. I just purchased the Cancooker stove combo. And looking forward to using it. I subscribed!
I try to have fun every once in a while. Good luck with your new stove!
Nice stove, my only concern would be where to store the butane canisters in a vehicle, I know they can be dangerous if the temperature is not right.
very cool. Did not know that existed. Thanks
That was a fun but really informative review, like your style! Thank you for sharing!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
15 lb switched tank at Lowe's , 12 bucks . Hose from tank will connect to hose u have and there u go . Ya those tanks are bigger obviously but you save the most and probably last u 3 years . Or they have the smaller 5lb tanks refillable as well
Thanks for this video 😊
Good instructions and review. Very thorough! Thanks.
Thank you! Big!
Thanks friend for video!
Thanks !!!!
Thank you. Very thorough explanation!
Sweet little stove man. Were planning to move south but until you blew your self up in your van now I'm scared ...lol that was a good revue Seth.but yeah that light switch light you have over the stove those are neat but are they heat resistant.I got one and they are super bright
lol! They are very bright!
Thank you for the video please tell me about a best refrigerator for rv or van
I used to use a dometic cf-18 which is discontinued now. I still have it but it was working intermittently. Turned out to be the cord connection. I currently use an aspenora 37 quart fridge. I like it better because I can use it with 12 volt or 120 volt. Here’s a link to a video about it.
th-cam.com/video/gvYghSIkIiU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks much for this video, I just bought a similar model and had no idea how to use the propane...a definite thumbs up!
Good vid! 👍
Great video. (fyi, butane stops burning around 31F!) btw...would be awesome to see a followup video that shows which is the better value... buying the larger propane tanks or buying the smaller/more compact butane tanks(?)
Baaaahaaaahaaaaahaaa!! OMG, I busted a gut watching you blow up your van!!! I just ordered one of those stoves. The one I ordered was a Gas One 3400P. The ratings were real good for it and it uses the dual fuel as well. Thanks for the laugh!! **BOOM** Baaaahaaaahaaaaahaaa!!
7:42 no danger for CO inside? Nice video, like the explosion part.
The danger is there, but only if the flame isn't blue. Keep a CO detector anyway and you'll be just fine.
CoderShare This is true a constant crisp blue flame is good but a flame that burns orange or yellow means not enough ventilation. Cook with eyes open attending what your cooking is a good idea leaving it un-attended is a bad idea for any kind of stove...tidbit if you burn something on your stove in a pan or pot or in the oven even in an electric stove it will still produce CO! Yes the burning food or pot will flood your house with smoke and CO. Easy just vent and use a CO detector. Even large gas range appliance may produce CO, that’s why they also require ventilation.
@@noemiortiz8392 Ty so much for your answer, and yeah it makes sense if your food is burning, it sure creates CO if there's smoke, even on an electric grill. Never really thought about it before but it sure makes sense!
I really want a dual-fuel stove, but so many reports of the propane regulator (plastic piece on hose) breaking within a few months use. You can buy a new hose, but the chinese company that makes all these dual-fuel stoves just sells you the same faulty proprietary hose (some have yellow plastic regulators, others red).
I haven't really used mine much, but I've never had problems with it. My brother reads reviews of everything he buys, while I glance at them but don't read too far into them. I have found that a lot of negative reviews seem to be operator error or misuse of the product. Not always the case, but often.
Propane also comes in the same sized cans as your Butane can.
With your stove, both cans will fit as your stove uses either Butane or Propane.
Propane comes in the cans, green bottle, 1# bottle and 5# bottle .... on up to larger bottles.
The larger the container you fill with Propane, the cheaper is the cost.
You just take your refillable Propane container to a local Gas Place...Hardware stores, etc also refill Propane bottles.
Butane will not light at 32° or below.
The greatest benefit of using a duel fuel stove is that if you fill your large propane bottle before you head out to go camping or to spend 14 days on BLM land, most likely you won't run out of fuel before you go to town again.
If you rely on Butane cans and there is a sudden drop in temp, you'll be outta luck....
Or, if you decide to cook for a neighbor, using the extra fuel might also leave you short.
Overall, you did a nice review... maybe have more information next time.
Thanks.
Great review !
Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed it.
Nice stove
I have a minivan I'm in full time I was wondering because I have a sunroof on my minivan wouldn't i be fine to use one of these ? Just open my sunroof and a rear window also i have a mini USB plugin fan. Would I be okay ? Not trying to blow up haha
Great video...Good Job...
Thank you for the video.
For the propane fuel,. You should disconnect the gas tank first before shut it off. Otherwise it will break the regulator eventually. Good idea of using dual fuel, but false design :(
Can anyone give information regarding storing butane and propane in a van? This is new to me and im worried about the van getting too hot during the day. Im afraid the butane and propane will overheat and blow up my van. I've only used butane in a cabin. Haven't kept gasses like these for prolonged periods of time in a van.
Awesome stove thank you for the review. You've definitely come a long way with your build out 👍. Do you still have your pawn shop 1200 watt generator find for your Van?
Thanks. I do still have it. I found I didn't really use it much so it stays in the garage more than anything.
🖒i use a 15lb propane tank it will last me roughly 2 months cooking in summer.in the winter it last bout 3 to 4 weeks cause i will use my stove as a heater on some very cold days.
I think the stove runs cleaner on propane. The flame looked better. I may start using it more often. I bet it works good as a heater.
Excellent review. Do you know what the run times are for propane vs butane?
How do you disconnect the adapter to propane after use?
Does it come with a regulator or do you have to buy it? If so, where ?
Mine doesn't have that latch for locking the can. Is that a defect if it didn't come with it? There's only a guide.
Anyone know the btu rating? Or how stove does when cooking with a small wok to make stir-fry for 1 or 2 people?
This stove works better for me with propane. I have used to it dry potatoes and onions in the morning when camping and it does great with a small pan.
I got one recently. It’s rated at 12000 BTU. The biggest I saw was 15000 BTU.
If you wish to do wok frying on a portable stove.... You will need the "IWATANI 35FW" Butane stove that have an output of 15,000BTU....
It will heat up a 30cm carbon steel or cast iron wok to the proper stir frying temperature in 35sec flat....Indication will be your
cooking oil in the wok starting to give off smoke..... 1min into the heating and the cooking oil in the wok is hot enough to ignite in flames, producing the char, smokey flavour (wok hey) that is normally associated with "high temperature jet stove" restaurant
style stir frying.....
Hai hello thanks for sharing.
I have a portable butane stive like that. But the seller said that it can not use with LPG. Do you know what kind of adaptor that i should use for my stove so it can work witk LPG?
You will smell gas when it leeks (bad egg). LPG-gas (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) sold in volume is odorless which is why Tetrahydrothiophen are added artificially to the gas. But pay attention: Gas is heavier than air, so it accumulates in the car on the ground so you don't smell it instantly at night. Danger of explosion if you light the stove without first ventilating it (open door) !!
Butane Boiling Point ("don't bother" condition): - 0.5 °C (1,013 hPa) / heating value 34.3 kWh/m³ (12.70 kWh/kg)
Propane Boiling Point ("proper" conditon): - 42.1 °C (1,013 hPa) / heating value 25.9 kWh/m³ (12.87 kWh/kg)
With Butan you can cook longer as long as the temperature is not under 0°C (32°F). When the water is frozen in the pan with butane (=dont bother) it's not possible to get a hot pot of tea!

Wow. That was cool how easy your bed lift it up. And then it just stayed there. Do you have it on hydraulics?
Yep, sure do. I have an install video about them. th-cam.com/video/uE4GGEb6IL0/w-d-xo.html
How long does a can last.
It really depends on how you use it. I mainly use the butane and can get several camping trips out of one can. It’s pretty efficient.
I just got the mini version of this stove. The only thing worse than the super cheap materials is the build. They actually had to bend some of the parts just to get the screws in. Oh and two screws were missing!! I thought about sending it back but then I realized the shipping both ways was almost what I paid for it so what’s the point. I’m thinking that’s how they get away with building crap!!
Nice video. Can i use the propane/butane stove in my vehicle for heat as well as coking? Can i leave the canister in the stove while being stored in the case?
The canister can be left in the stove, but I always remove it for safety. The can is designed to be used more than once so you won’t lose any fuel by removing it from the stove. As far as heat, I have never used it that way and am not sure I would try it but Bob Wells with Cheap RV living has some videos on heating vans and campers that way.
are you suppose to take that can out after every use?
You can. The butane van can be removed after each use and will remain sealed until put back into the stove.
@@RubberTrampRenegade I think for safety purposes it is sew that your suppose to remove it after cooking. so it doesnt end up leaking or something ect. that stuff gets you stoned fast if it seeps through. lol. thanks!
What kind of propane adapter is this? I have that type of butane stove and wanting to use propane because we can go through 3 to 4 bottles of butane in one camping weekend.
Angela Dawley I’m not sure if you can buy the adapter separately, mine came with my stove. I have an amazon link in the description of the video.
@@RubberTrampRenegade, thank you. I will check that out.
If it's not a dual fuel stove an adapter won't help, the adapter screws into the stove the butane ones don't have that
Great videos...new sub here...Gave me some ideas for my Grand Caravan campervan conversion..I'm doing a non permanent conversion..Thanks
Thanks for watching! Good luck with your build!
What could go wrong with a system that stores fuel 3” from open flame?
The camp stove I use has been around for quite some time. Any stove you use has some level of danger. Even the one in your home or a gas grill. It's hard to create a flame without a nearby fuel source. If you are afraid of fire I would suggest you stick to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
@@RubberTrampRenegade
No need to be a d!ck. My comment was about the stove not you.
I am perfectly capable of using flame from many sources. I’ve lived off grid for 8 years. Built from raw land by my own hand I created a home all while working 6days a week 12 hours a day building the then 4G network in my area.
So put your micro pen!s back in your pants, it just doesn’t measure up.
@@RubberTrampRenegade Yeah, Fancy -Pants Fancy Name, , these type stoves are used by thousands of people and have an excellent safety record. So don't get your panties in a bunch and try doing some research on your own before opening your big f'n mouth.
Butane stoves were banned in Australia for that reason. I'm not sure, but I believe they are legal now provided (a) safety certs, like our UL and (b) made after 2015.
I'm going to get one of these at a higher BTU.
Me Too. this is the one i'm ordering. www.amazon.com/GS-3900P-Portable-Convenient-Carrying-Powerful/dp/B01N1RO9WG/ref=sr_1_1?crid=NTGFY9OAQ0QG&dchild=1&keywords=gas+one+15%2C000+btu&psc=1&qid=1570815397&sprefix=Gas+One+15%2C%2Caps%2C213&sr=8-1

Teach a Man to Fish GS-3900P dual gas camp stove
Crying Hippy I got a Gas One 15,000 BTU. Check it out, it is great! th-cam.com/video/4IG5a4Ky4l0/w-d-xo.html
Great video!! I was looking for something like this. Now is butane safer than propane? I like the butane can because is easier to manage but I think is not as accessible as propane.
Glad you enjoyed the video. I’m not sure which one is safer but I will say the butane is easier to pack along with me, but it doesn’t do well in colder weather. When I camp in the winter I have to use the propane because the butane won’t burn at lower temps. I bought a pack of 12 cans of butane on amazon 3 years ago and still have some left.
@@RubberTrampRenegade Thank You!
How long does a small can of butane cook for in this stove? Great video 😎
Another review (of the similar Gas One model) said 1.5 hours.
LOl! Good review. Thanks. :)
I have an exact looking stove but purely butane. Is there any adapter avaipable which can help use propane v/s butane?
There is an adapter on amazon. I like using this stove with propane better
@@RubberTrampRenegade thanks .. what's it called or a hint?

I wish I could buy one of those in Australia. We only have the butane model.
I have an amazon link for them. Will they not ship to Australia?
Gas One makes a dual fuel stove. It looks just like this one, model 3400-P. Its also avail. on Amazon, Walmart, Home Depot, REI, etc.
RubberTrampRenegade appears not...
E Miller Not in Australia.. Those are US outlets..
@@asd67lkj Just search Gas One 3400-P........its probably avail. at one of your Aust. outlets. Don't even think Gas One is a US brand.
if your gonna review something, its good to have actually used it!
title doesn't say review now does it, so if you gonna comment make sure you read the title first
So how long will a 20 lb tank of Propane last if you run it on low setting ?
Until it runs out....
Depending on how much you cook for me it last six to eight months.
7:30 my greatest fear. Thinking about getting one though.
Lol
Do you cook with that inside the van? I'm a truck driver and I don't want to install a microwave and inverter.
does the propane
Pesky CO attaches to blood cells more readily than oxygen. So a lil’ CO goes a LONG way.
I'm no expert, but I've read that butane is ok to use indoors, but not propane.
Mike Beaver that’s why I came to the video. I use mine as an extra burner in my house and haven’t had any issues but I try to keep a fan on while its running. I’m not sure if I’d use it in your truck (depending on ventilation) you might be able to use it with your windows on and a small fan... I’d like to be able to use mine inside a 10 person tent with the windows open in case it rains.... I haven’t heard or read anything about propane vs butane but people in Asian counties use those at home often
@@cathys949 propane can be used indoors just fine...think about folks that live where there is no natural gas, they are on propane (big tank out side house)
Make sure you have a exhaust fan on
You must have skimmed through the video it you would have heard me say the fan just above me was on.
@@RubberTrampRenegade I was in a hurry so yea I guess
In a hurry, but still had time to be a troll.
@@RubberTrampRenegade What did I do? You need to relax...
King Super Saiyan I’m as relaxed as I can be. I’m just saying that everyone is always quick to tell me what I should have done or why something I did won’t work. Most of the time they don’t watch the whole video to see that I did what they said I should have done. I clearly said in the video to use the stove in a ventilated space while running my fan just inches above my head.
Thats not genuine propane and propane accessories....- Hank hill
🤣🤣🤣🤣
No one ever says how to turn it off.
Turn the gas knob to the “off” position like any other stove.
Uh...well this is geared towards adults. Turn it to OFF
Not shutting the gas flow off at the can first, apparently wears out the regulator.
Very dangerous video!!!
Never use a propane stove indoors unless you are tired of this earth.
Only BUTANE should be used indoors with an open window for ventilation and a Carbon Monoxide detector for safety.
Yikes for him not knowing these issues before making a video about it??
You must either be an idiot or didn’t watch the entire video. I had my front windows cracked and my roof fan going the entire video. I’ve used this stove like this with this kind of ventilation just fine. I’m not dead yet buddy.
Dude... You have no idea what you're talking about
Thank you!!!
LOl! Good review. Thanks. :)
