coleman 425E

[balloonboyCA]

Very good info! Thanks!

[cbarsonfire]

I just picked up two more stoves from the 1970's in great condition one cost 8 bucks and the otherwas 10. Put oil in the pump to lube the cup and both fired right up.

Anytime I find one at a yard sale or thrift store it comes home. These old stoves are built to last a lifetime. Too bad Coleman lost their way with many products. Their old lanterns and stove were the best for the bucks.

Nice stove ya have!

@04suzuka Hi! Nice to met you here! Ï love all kind of vintage gas stoves... specially Coleman, Enders and Optimus...

[sqgrooves]

I got my 425 at a yard sale for $5. Great stove! Got a Coleman griddle and it's great for cooking bacon and pancakes.

[99cachorro]

looks great, runs great

[erfrye]

[raiderrob672]

[the1onlyteagro]

[Ramaniac007]

Your making me hot watching this video

[pyroman675]

such an awesome stove!

[MrMrcrain]

What kinda paint hight heat or what i heard not to use hight heat wat u use

[warnher]

is that john deere green?

I wanna try and paint mine because its only a year old and the paint is peeling off.

I laughed because they sell them as a classic.

way better then the propane coleman stove I have.

just got a msr dragonfly for christmas and cant wait to try it out.

[MrMrcrain]

if a campstove has been siting a while what can you do to make shure its in working shape

[vl5150]

I just got one of these today at a garage sale new in the box for $5. I had a tough time lighting the main burner, but then it lit ok. Same with the aux burner. Hard to start, but it did eventually. I guess it had 40 years of dust in it. I'm running a tank through it now. These are very cool USA made stoves.

[joedotcomdotcom]

Thanks or teh video. I just picked up a 425F for $4.99 at Goodwill. i am gonna (hopefully) fire it up tomorrow after i pick up some Coleman fuel.

Thanks to all the commenters. I did not realize the fuel pipe getting heated was part of the efficiency. Awesome that the heated pipe helps vaporize the fuel to burn better!

[sininetigu]

how long does the 30-40 strokes of pressure last? with one burner? two burners?

[thinkzenAK]

Awesome man!...I letterally just found one of these up in Alaska on my property. It was halfway buried in dirt and crap. But when I went to pump it up it held pressure. After a small cleaning session Im falling in love with this thing. I m a huge camper and love this shit! Great Refurbish and Vid man! Hope to post mine soon!

[danderson8127]

thank you great video!

[0Weaver0]

good looking stove you got there. it looks like its from the early 70s. the date will be under the tank tabs. i have one from 1969 but not in that good of shape. good video.

Weaver.

[ladyglutenfree]

This helps me so much! I just bought this stove, (minus the red tank. Where would i find one?) at our local good-will and was clueless on how to make it run. Great video!

[mrrcrogersjr]

@ladyglutenfree If you need a tank, and you don't have one, I'd just look for an other stove, garage sale, etc. BUT you may have a propane stove. If this is the case, there will be a fitting for a propane fuel line coming out the side of the stove...

[TheLimbReaper]

@ladyglutenfree Don't dispose of that stove if you can't find a tank. I know that once there was a propane conversion for these, I have one myself. They were available from my local camper/trailer sales. A one pound tank or extension hose for large grill type tanks (30 pounders) worked well if you didn't want to use Coleman white gas.

[azfyrfyter63]

Don't turn the black fuel knob until you have a match near the burner.

[TheVittleVlog]

Nice video...! Thanks!

[nothadnotbad]

good demontstration

[TheBattleWagon]

The Idea being to use this type of fuel air mix system with a heat Vaporized kerosine burner like too the Babington burner.

[TheBattleWagon]

Now has any one here ever seen one of these when hot if you add Kerosine rather than gasoline?

[safeway56]

These stoves are superb for wok cooking owing to them being far more powerful domestic stoves.

[mahlstadt]

really? a portable coleman stove gives off more heat than a gas stove at home?

[safeway56]

Yes, some of the the latest domestic cookers have wok pits producing a heat of 3500 watts. The Coleman produces 4225 watts, but be sure to keep the food moving around in the wok or your food will very quickly burn.

[readallen]

mine says 14000 btu's

[fratermus]

@mahlstadt

An average natural gas stove burner puts out something like 9k BTU. The larger burner in the suitcase stoves like the one run about 12.5K BTU and the auxilliary burner to the left 8.5K or so. Of course, you don't have to run them wide open; they simmer nicely and at lower outputs one filling lasts halfway to forever.

Smaller coleman stoves (like the old sportster) run about 7.5k BTU and the larger burner in the suitcase

[Yelnuts71]

Hey my dad has that same stove but with a different tank like different location for filler cap, and and a dial that says Light, Off, Low, High

I also have my own mine is a Coleman 4m

[Yelnuts71]

Whoops my dads filler cap is in the same place but different dial

[Havokmaster88]

Excellent video, my dad bought an old stove from the thrift store and was confused on how to make it work and this helped a lot!

[brickit]

Beautiful resto, ya need a nos or repro label on the inside of the cover. Gotta love that old Coleman stuff.

[Ncharlestun]

I bought a very slightly rusty Coleman 413 , May 1979, at the local flea market for $5 on 4-11-09. It burns fairly good and may need a bit of air tube and manifold cleaning. I can't wait to sand it up a bit and spray paint it. I was amazed Lowes had no high heat silver Rustoleum but plenty of h.h. black and a few others. They had the regular green I needed though. Shame on you Lowes.

[ihatesanity]

Your stove looks awesome! Who did the refurbishment?

[xavi242]

me, thanks. Only repainted silver shelf and cleaned well other parts...

[justinhonan]

I have an old 425E499 that was given to me. What parts should I replace to be on the safe side? Things that might be dry rotted.

[shad0h027]

Nice vid thanks for posting

[thelittlebird1]

This video is so helpful - we haven't used our old stove in so long. Your next video should show how you refurbished it - it looks great!

[jasen3847]

great vid i could not remember how to use mine

[jasen3847]

great video i havent used mine in years and we are camping next weekend. i am going to try it now

[finno123456]

is she duel fuel or just kerosene my dad had a coleman lamp same principal.

[xavi242]

coleman fuel, white gas etc... No kerosene

[fratermus]

@finno123456

I think all the duel fuel suitcase stoves have silver tanks. None of the suitcases run kero, only coleman fuel (or unleaded for the dual fuelers).

Some of the smaller hiking stoves do have kero generators so you can run kero. I have a 550B that will run kero, but I don't usually do that because of the high cost of kero around here.

[watchme63]

thanks for the demo, just bought one at a garage sale and i feel better about using it tomorrow

[Rusey1993]

Is it not a stupid idea having the gas pipe running over the burner?

I am looking at buying either one of these or a trangia one what would you recommend?

[THEHUNTER034]

no, it isnt a stupid idea.

cause if it wasnt, the stove wouldnt work, that is called the "generator" the heat from the flame is used to vaporise the fuel so it will mix properly with the air.

[crabtrap]

Rusey,this "stupid idea" has been around

for over 60+ years with few problems i think its fair to say it is a good design

[lucifer4511]

Like TheHunter said, the heat heats up the liquid (coleman fuel aka white gas) and causes it to evaporate at a very high rate. Now it's vapor that's pushed out through the burner ports. That's the reason for the lever at the beginning too... it is like a choke on an engine... until the tube heats up and starts vaporizing the fuel more efficiently, you have to have the 'choke' turned on.

[fratermus]

As Hunter says, that's the way they work.

You can tell when it the generator gets hot enough because you can hear a steady hiss and see the burn settle down to a brilliant blue. Until then it may flare up and run inefficiently with erratic (and sometimes big) yellow flames. This scares first-timers who do not expect it.

[vijerad]

Thanks for the demo, that's great.

[vijerad]

Thanks for the demo, that's great.
