old stove

[Ruadhrigh]

I inherited a camping stove. Not sure of the age, but it is in great shape. The box took all the beating, and aging.

I went to Wally World and bought a propane bottle, but the stove fitting and the bottle don't mate. What are my options? Are there propane bottles with a larger head? Or would I be able to source a different hose for the stove?

Here are some pictures.

i think you should be able to find a replacement hose and fitting that will fit the newer bottles somewhere.

With that hose, it may be designed to fit a 20lbs tank, like you'd use for a grill. Have you tried that?

Just go to your local propane seller (Amerigas in the West) and they will have the brass adapter.

Thanks for the Amerigas tip. I'll hit them up after work.

Very cool! Retro! Whats funny is it looks the same as mine that i bought 4 months ago! Not much has changed. The color makes it look like a harbor freight stove.

You could probably list it on ebay and make a nice chunk of change from some weirdo collector...and then buy a new one and maybe some other toys.

I found a beat up one on there....

wow that one is going for $52 and it is only has 2 burners!

Mine has three

it is tempting to turn a quick buck on Ebay, but it was stashed in my grampas basement. My wief doesn't get the attchment, but I think its nice to have some hand-downs.

Like check out all this camera junk:

That stove is nifty.

I bought one very similar at a flea market some years back. It was new in box but had rusted a bit from sitting around and was not in that kind of condition. Worked well though.

Gotta love old goodies like that.
