I have one of these stoves and love it.. it's so easy to use,, just drop in the butane cylinder, push down on the left lever which locks it into place then turn it on.. no fuss, nothing.. heck, it actually lights quicker then my home stove ! For those wondering, the butane cylinders last about an hour and a half on high.. but I never operate it wide open, so they last about 2 hours or so on lower flame settings. Forget the more expensive Coleman butane, purchase "no name" cylinders at your local Korean "discount store".. they usually sell in bundles of 4 for $6 and work the same..
"they usually sell in bundles of 4 for $6" About the same, here in the UK. Around £5 for 4, in places like B&M/Home Bargains, etc. A little pricier at dedicated camping stores.
Read your review on the Walmart site and had to check out your video version. Well-done and answered my questions. Always easier to see something like this in action. Helped me make my decision. Thank you!
Just read your walmart review just had to check out your video. Wasn't sure about getting one but know I will n Great idea on marking the cans will try that.
I used one of these on my 12 day road trip through Colorado Montana Wyoming and Utah, the Coleman single burner butane was UNBELIEVABLE. So easy to use and was just light and small enough for easy storage and big enough for two people to make dinner and breakfast.
How did it do at altitude? I had trouble with mine in Red Lodge MT. It would not put out enough heat to heat water. Thinking the problem might have been the butane can. I really like it and want to start using it again. Thanks
Karla Hernandez I did have some issues with the butane can once but don’t remember how I fixed it. May have even been out. I know it was toward the end of a nearly two week trip where we were using it twice a day, so about 12 uses before we had issues. Not sure if that’s enough to empty the canister
BUYING because of your video. I have a new Coleman 2 burner, and I love it --- BUT, I recently found out, if hubby isn't w/me, I can't screw on the propane tank, and my son is still too young to help w/it. I'm also one of the older, rheumatoid arthritis folks you mention. LOL Great review, and instructions ... thnx!
I'm a virgin prepper/home "camper" when lights are out so I jumped at watching this! Looking to learn fast as I think we're there so hope you make more. Please be as detailed as you can for those of us who havent seen ANY of this! Thank you!
Both Colman butane and propane stoves work great. I have both of them and the old style coleman fuel type. They come in handy for camping But can be a life saver during a power outage Last power outage I was in lasted 8 days when a record breaking ice storm hit Kentucky. We were eating hot food every day and drinking hot chocolate.
Yes, I agree that the color of the stove shouldn't matter, but somehow I love your blue-colored one that matches with your blue pot. I love your presentation of the Coleman stove.
Best video on TH-cam if you are *nervous* about lighting a butane stove. New to this and this video helped me light my new stove-thank you so much!,,🙏❤️
I had a Coleman butane stove that worked great for a few camping trips, but suddenly conked out on me. I think I tripped the over-pressure safety stop which shuts off the butane flow. I couldn't figure out how to get working again. I called Coleman about it, and they told me the model was discontinued so they couldn't offer any help -- but sent me a Coleman propane 2-burner as a replacement, free of charge. I love it. Great brand.
just got one a few days ago. Just needed something small enough i can pack for small weekend camping. Got it for $20 off ebay. Build quality looks very good.
I bought a stove identical to this on Amazon that comes with a male threaded receptor for the butane can that allows you to attach a hose that will accept the 1lb propane.bottles. I like to use the green bottles for longer trips because I can easily get over 8 hours of cooking on one and use them on my little Weber grill and can do serious grilling with them. The butane cans definitely empty quicker but the convenience of just whipping the stove out and throwing the pan on is nice too
I got a Colmen 533 dual fuel stove couple weeks ago for 20£ good condition at a boot fare. Today I found an old Butane burner exactly the same as your one In my mum's house. Not in a very good condition covered in oil and dirt burned up. Something had bent the burner ring and buckled the attaching plate. I bent it back and it's working fine. lighter then the 533 so could be good for on foot camping.
Thank you so much for this informative video, currently we are hotel living due to moving and we cannot use appliances in room but I wanted to find something to still be able to cook my family a home cooked meal and this is just perfect for me.
More expensive to run than propane, but also significantly more compact...ideal if you want to save space (car camping), yet still have something sturdy with decent BTUs.
I like the butane stove, but there are a couple of defects that I hope to overcome with some modifications. First, smaller pots or pans can tip over if they slide at an angle to the grates. 8 rather than 4 ribs would be better. Also, it would be nice if the stove had some sort of leveling mechanism.
Hi,I just bought two of these one I keep in my SUV the other one in my house( when the big one hits at least I"ll know I"ll have a stove that works), the lowest price I found was Walmart $19.00, under that price are the off brand one,I always go with Coleman,. Thanks for the video
Nice video. The main thing is not to use a big pot that covers the hinged gas area.The gas can has a danger of exploding... Great idea about the percolator. Had not thought of that. Thanks!
Good info When your tea wing in car is it ok to leave this stove in the case in your car?, would you have to de pressure the can in case of car heat etc
@@totallyfrozen I did know how to use it. I just wasn’t aware you had to click it hard to ignite it since ya know. Conventional stoves don’t really do that? I had watched a video before getting it too so...why did you assume I didn’t know how to use a stove? What are you talking about, frozen? Lol?
As for boiling water, the Jet Boil and a few others do it in less than a minute. Five minutes seems an excessive waste of fuel. Plus the pot needs a lid to conserve fuel.
Personally I stick to my classic suitcase style tri-fuel Coleman dual burner stove. With an adapter I can use not only Coleman White Gas and unleaded gasoline, but also propane. So yeah I can store items in my stove while it's not in use, be it extra fuel, mantles, kindling, plastic dishes, collapsible kitchenware, utensils, etc... Parts are easy to come by. No its not instant on and off with liquid fuels, I do spray a small amount of fuel onto the pre-heat burner, but overall I get about 5 hours of cooking out of 1 quart of liquid fuel. I haven't tested the propane adapter extensively enough yet to write about it, but it is much more like the stove in the video.
Also extremely low waste producing. I buy fuel by the gallon in steel cans. Each can lasts several camping trips vs butane bottles that are extremely difficult to refill, and propane 1lb steel bottles that also are a bit annoying yet easier to refill. I don't like to add to the landfill if I can help it
Hey,thanks...I will be using my Coleman for the first time on the 22nd .Going to the Sequoia's for camping.. You did a jam up job on it's use...now to add peanut butter and honey to my camp food list... ; )
I have two of these, that I use for emergency cooking, during a power cut. Suffice to say, I crack a window in the kitchen, and there's a CO Alarm in the room.
Nice overview & explanation of how easy the stove is to use. I’m going to get one for camping instead of the Coleman Guide Series which makes worry it will get knocked over. I wonder if you were on a bicycle trip cross country how easy it would be to find those propane bottles. My other stove is a multi fuel stove & should be easy to get fuel when you need it. I think I’ll try the tabletop stove & see how it goes on a trial bike camping trip. I pull a small trailer which makes carrying a slightly larger stove not a big deal. Be safe. 👍☮️🌞🦠😷🚲 🏕
Great video, thank you! Quick question- if I were using it to cook for a weekend is it safe to leave the butane can connected (with the stove off between uses) or should I disengage it after each use?
I've seen disputes over people buying these stoves and there not being the right size cans available for it. What size can do you use and is it necessary for you to buy the Coleman gas because I've found the stove but not the Coleman gas and I don't want to buy it if I can't find a can that fits.
I have seen that to. I've only used 8.8 oz Coleman fuel. but the Coleman cans have been easily available at any Walmart I've been to. Of course I live in southeast US so it may vary other places. If I do put my hands on some other cans I'll try them and update but as of now I have not used other brands/sizes.
Hi Uhaul Camper. Thank you very much for your video. I saw it on the Walmart site and you have helped me make my decision. Quick Q. Is it possible to please share link to buy this butane fuel tank. I looked on walmart and amazon site. But unsure if the ones we are looking will fit this gas stove fuel tank. Thanks in advance.
I did a follow-up video to answer few questions including more on the fuel cans: th-cam.com/video/NcF3Wge-ztA/w-d-xo.html These are the cans I ordered off Amazon: amazon.com/Gasone-Butane-Fuel-Canister-4pack/dp/B000JORB2M/ Note that these cans are the same size as the Coleman ones I can buy in my local Walmart but the Coleman cans say they have 8.8oz while the GasOne cans say only 8oz.
I don't remember where but I thought I read somewhere that cast iron shouldn't be used with butane stoves because they could possibly get too hot and explode. Can anyone help me out here? Am I remembering wrong?
If that canister runs out in an hour and a half what the heck is the point of the stupid stove. As a truck driver I wanted to purchase one of those but thanks for letting me know that canister runs out very quickly.
I have 2 of these stoves. This Coleman model and another one from Gasone. Both these stoves are junk in the cold weather. It took over 35 minutes on high to heat up a can of spaghetti o’s. If you are using in any weather colder than 45 degrees, look elsewhere. Both brands of these stoves struggle. While other folks in my group cooking with Coleman propane stoves and white gas stoves, outperform this everytime. I just got back from camping this weekend and made this observation.
@@debb4099 Most new butane canisters are vented and, therefore, explosion proof (look for the blue ring inside the top crimp). That, in addition to following the stove's directions/warnings, yields a relatively safe device.
i love the butane 1 > can use it for heat as well wow i get 4 hour out of a can IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE ADAPTER TO RUN A BIG BOTTLE OFF OF IT INSTEAD THE CANS
Check Amazon or Ebay and you'll find an adapter for 10-15 bux. Or Wish if you like to live dangerously. You'll find one for free but a dollar or 2 for shipping.
Ps Just wanted to add 1 more comment that might be helpful for those less experienced at this - Maybe less movement of your hands while saying this and that. Could you maybe point at the "this"and the "that?" Many many thanks for this effort to help others!
It's safe. Safer than propane. Why do you think you find the fuel for them in Asian neighborhoods? They're all being used inside small apartments and SROs since electric hot plates will trip the breakers. Also that case is a nice feature because you can stash it. I live in a one bedroom and I have one in case of a power outage.
Definitely safe in a house or apartment. There's only a risk of carbon monoxide when used in tightly enclosed spaces like small RVs or vans (and, even then, probaly o.k. with the windows cracked).
Got the same exact model. Different make at HMart ( Korean supermarket), sells for 19.99. Four butane canisters 4.99. Don’t get ripped off because of a name.
Great video, I found a brand new one in the trash, amazing what people throw away. and easy on the old people there ya young whipper snapper ya. lol serious, Thanks for the video.
when your done cooking do you flip the pressure switch back & take the can out or does it switch off automatically & how do you know when can is empty( obviously it wont light but do you need to know its empty before you switch the pressure switch, I mean is there a safety issue? And can it be used indoors for emergencies ? Thank you
I normally flip the pressure switch off yes. Once the pressure is off you can transport the fuel can in the stove. After all, it's just sitting there. There's no alert for when it gets low. The burner will just stop working if there's no fuel. You can shake the can to tell if it's got any in it. You also have to turn the knob to get the gas to come out. If the knob is in the off position and the pressure switch is disengaged then you should be safe for transporting. I personally wouldn't have an issue using it indoors if the room was big and well vented. Remember all combustion produces carbon monoxide.
Have you gotten the left burner in the classic fixed? I'm interested in both and even a Weber but what are the benefits as a user for spending $100 more on a Weber grill over the Coleman classic? Also did you notice the butane insta start lasting any longer than propane with two burners?
I haven't had time to work on the classic coleman stove. Had some home projects keeping me tied up lately. I think it's just a gummed up valve. As for the propane, I think I can usually get 4hrs +/- out of a 16oz. Obviously that's more than the butane canister (which is half the size). I like my webber Q. I strictly use it for grilling though I could probably put a cast iron pan on it I guess. I mainly use the campstoves for pot dishes. I did bacon and pancakes in the lodge skillet on the butane stove this past weekend and it did the job.
I found a Coleman that has both grill and stove I think was pretty neat. I ended up getting a fold n go grill by Coleman. Along with a propane heater I got a deal on.. if I save up and I'm u happy with the grill I'll look into the Weber ! Thanks for the review and link to this vid

Can I leave the butane can inside the coleman unpressurized for storage when its not in use ? I don't want to take it out back nd fourth with it
I normally leave it sitting in there stored. I think as long as you don't have it engaged, it should be fine.

Yes, butane is not a good option in cold weather.

Check Amazon or Ebay and you'll find an adapter for 10-15 bux. Or Wish if you like to live dangerously. You'll find one for free but a dollar or 2 for shipping.
Part of the attraction of these stoves is the small form factor. Running a hose to a propane bottle adds almost as much bulk as the stove, itself.
Do they make a conversation hose for a Colman Butane like you have to use propane ?
Very nice good review, very helpful.
Where did you get the coleman butane at
Walmart
Great video!
+Ramon Thank you!
How did it hold up I just bought it on prime day today for $11
I still use it from time to time. That's a great price
Can it uses another brand Gas cans? Around here there are a lot cheaper than Coleman brand Gad cans

I bought this stove a while ago for my earthquake kit. It's lightweight and easy, but hoping I never have to use it!
Is it safe to use this indoors?
It's safe. Safer than propane. Why do you think you find the fuel for them in Asian neighborhoods? They're all being used inside small apartments and SROs since electric hot plates will trip the breakers. Also that case is a nice feature because you can stash it.

Definitely safe in a house or apartment. There's only a risk of carbon monoxide when used in tightly enclosed spaces like small RVs or vans (and, even then, probaly o.k. with the windows cracked).
No, it's not safe
Does it only work with coleman butane?
No any butane canister with the notch in it should work.
Great review! So helpful! Thank you!
Got the same exact model. Different make at HMart ( Korean supermarket), sells for 19.99. Four butane canisters 4.99. Don’t get ripped off because of a name.
Where do you guys store the Propane tank while camping?
How "available" are those butane tanks against the propane tanks?
Not really that available. I prefer propane. And those 1lb. Green tanks can be refilled from a 20 lb. Bbq tank.
Not quite as easy to find as the green cans, so I stock up before hurricane season every year.
I also heard truck stops sell them.
Great video, I found a brand new one in the trash, amazing what people throw away. and easy on the old people there ya young whipper snapper ya. lol serious, Thanks for the video.
How to clean it?
What happens if I spill a little bit of the butane
Anyone know the partnumber or link for the propane adapter hose?
I have this blue coleman single burner, want to convert.
when your done cooking do you flip the pressure switch back & take the can out or does it switch off automatically & how do you know when can is empty( obviously it wont light but do you need to know its empty before you switch the pressure switch, I mean is there a safety issue? And can it be used indoors for emergencies ? Thank you
I normally flip the pressure switch off yes. Once the pressure is off you can transport the fuel can in the stove. After all, it's just sitting there. There's no alert for when it gets low. The burner will just stop working if there's no fuel. You can shake the can to tell if it's got any in it. You also have to turn the knob to get the gas to come out. If the knob is in the off position and the pressure switch is disengaged then you should be safe for transporting. I personally wouldn't have an issue using it indoors if the room was big and well vented. Remember all combustion produces carbon monoxide.
U-Haul Thank you
how many hours did you get from the can of butane so far ??
Have you gotten the left burner in the classic fixed? I'm interested in both and even a Weber but what are the benefits as a user for spending $100 more on a Weber grill over the Coleman classic? Also did you notice the butane insta start lasting any longer than propane with two burners?
I haven't had time to work on the classic coleman stove. Had some home projects keeping me tied up lately. I think it's just a gummed up valve. As for the propane, I think I can usually get 4hrs +/- out of a 16oz. Obviously that's more than the butane canister (which is half the size).
I like my webber Q. I strictly use it for grilling though I could probably put a cast iron pan on it I guess. I mainly use the campstoves for pot dishes. I did bacon and pancakes in the lodge skillet on the butane stove this past weekend and it did the job.
I found a Coleman that has both grill and stove I think was pretty neat. I ended up getting a fold n go grill by Coleman. Along with a propane heater I got a deal on.. if I save up and I'm u happy with the grill I'll look into the Weber !
Thanks for the review and link to this vid
Thanks for watching and good luck with the fold n go!
YOU ~ ROCK ! !
Is it safe to carry butane fuel in car?
Yes but I would not leave them in the car in extreme heat for extended periods of time
@@UhaulCamperFun Thanks for the information
can the smaller one be adapted to be used with a large propane tank usually found with barbeque.
+Asad the great no the blue stove only works on the butane cans. I do use my bigger campstove with a 20lb tank.
U-haul Camper Fun ok i understand im just gonna grt one of the dual fuel ones.
How long does the fuel last
I assume you could take the can back out after using, but while there is still fuel in it yes?
+Hoodwinked McGee yes you can.
When you use the Butane, do you remove it & reuse jt until it's empty? or do you have to keep it in the stove until all used up?
You can remove and reuse until it's empty. I normally just release the pressure switch that disengages the can and leave it in the holder as storage.
How long do the butane canisters last?
About an hour and a half on high. Have "milked" almost four hours on low.
