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?

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.
