Coleman running a sale on the dual fuel single burner stoves:

Somewhat surprised they still make these given the market saturation of cheap isobutane and propane stoves.

I had a Little Trouble with my White Gas Stove Ice Fishing this Year at Zero Degrees F -

Made Biscuits and Gravy - Heat & Eat and it was a Hit.

Added some Sterno Fire Paste to Preheat the Generator in Future.

Have been there. Sadly, I don't see how they are selling enough of these to keep the production line alive. They're more of a niche item and less useful than the dual burners.

It has been years since I have run into any one else at my sons' scout events using liquid fuel stoves or lighting, let alone anyone one else who can light them without looking up a you tube video.

This free/salvaged/restored 424 is still our primary road trip and scout troop stove. Looks a lot worse now but runs the same. Hard to beat these for group cooking in wind.

People do ask for ridiculous prices on things. That said, those are two examples of pristine unused Colemans with original packaging, they’ll bring a premium.
I ain’t paying that though.

Is the 425E the cream of the crop?

425 is the Most Common Two Burner White Gas Stove.
Like the 220 is the Most Common 2 Mantle Lantern.

There are Countless Variations of Both Models which change with the Letter After Model Number.
Coleman used up Parts to build a Specific Model before going to New Parts which was a Different Letter.

Has the Cup too - Cup worth More than Cooler per Ebay.
Thrift Store - $3.50

Went camping this Weekend and the Stove would not Pump. Check Valve in Pump was Stuck.

Pliers or Screwdriver will remove the Wire that Holds in Pump Plunger.

Removed the Pump and filled pump Tube with White Gas.

Drained out Gas in AM and Pump Worked again.

Remembered I had used Olive Oil to Lubricate Pump Cup last Fall. That Oil Gummed Up the Valve at Bottom of Pump.

Told my Buddy about it and he said Next time pull your engine Dipstick and use the Motor Oil to Lube pump Cup in Future.

Never thought to do that, but Thought I would share to help others.

You can see the Tank Soaking in Bottom Right.

*BTW Coleman Recommends Mineral Oil as Standard Practice, but I did not have that Camping.

Received!! Thanks again sir!!

Seems that the pump assembly cracks over time and is unobtanium. Found another stove on ebay with the pump but no bottle, so it's on it's way to me.

Going to attempt to CAD up a replacement pump assembly, then machine it out of aluminum.

Strong plan. Coleman should have made them out of alu to begin with.

I was just given these, are they cool? Never seen a lantern like this. The cooler is in great condition.

 

[Wildcat Walker]

Of course they are cool! Heck, propane is cheaper chan Coleman fuel these days. The coolers are retro. But they dont hold ice like a modern design, best used in situations like picnics where you dont need to keep things cool more than a day.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

X2 on the coolers not being very good coolers. They work great as a seat in a kooler kart though.

Don't worry, I didn't drill through the cooler, it's just wedged in place.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Someone on reddit wanted to get rid of their collection quick, so I bought it. My SIL in Phoenix received the lanterns and is storing them for me until I can get out to Phoenix to pack them up.

32 lanterns for $400. Smoking deal.
