Testimony: I saw your original video years ago, and I bought the stove and butane cans. I actually needed it during the Texas freeze of 2021. My family needed it for a few days. The hot food was a nice comfort, during a scary time. I bought my cans from Sam's club in packs of 12. Thank you again😊

I got my stove and canisters from an Asian food market. Asians use those stoves a lot for everyday cooking. I liked mine a lot. Got lost in a move. Time to get another one. 4:29

Have a save and blessed Summer...keep praying ..and keep prepping... We saw the new movie " Civil War " scary if the grid goes down... Trust in the Lord Keep working

I have e Gas One stove and canisters, but have not needed to use it as recent hurricanes (Ian) did not cut our power where I am in Palm Beach County. glad to see your tutorial! I did use (hurricane Irma, 2017) an Aqua Pod kit which is a bathtub water storage plastic bag/bladder. It fits in a tub with a slide-on connection to the faucet. Up to about 45 gallons (small tub) of clean water from your tap. It comes with a simple hand pump to fill smaller containers you can use for drinking, cooking, shower. It states it can go up to 65 gallons in a larger tub. You can buy the bag by itself, if you already have a pump. We always buy 3 cases of bottled water too, but if a cat 3 or greater is coming…the tub bladder is a great option. We have 2 bathrooms so this is feasible for us, as we have the separate shower.

Great video. I have a propane stove that must be 35 years old now. I bought it for camping, way back when I was a much younger man, and I've used it many, many times when camping. No reason why it wouldn't serve equally well at home in a no-power emergency. You can also buy one-pound propane tanks at Walmart that last me through several camping weekends. Can't say how the price compares with butane, as the stove in your video is the first butane-fueled stove I've ever seen. My propane stove isn't as portable as yours, but it does offer two burners, which is nice, as you can have your coffee perking away while cooking your breakfast. I like your underlying point -- that preps can very often be sourced from where camping equipment and supplies are sold, since emergencies present you with many of the same problems that camping does. Thanks for your videos!

The best place I have purchased the butane bottles is at the oriental store. Last month they were $1.50 each in five packs.

Hi Sandy. I bought my Gasone stove at Amazon as well as the butane canisters. Someone asked if they are safe for indoor cooking. Yes they are. I experienced hurricane Ian firsthand and my advice would be to purchase a camping shower with a USB rechargeable battery. Thanks for another great video and God bless.

I bought packs of butane on Amazon. I’ve also seen individual cans at Walmart & our local hardware store. I haven’t needed mine either but it provides a sense of security….just in case.

Great video. I actually bought my gas portable stove at an Asian grocery store in Massachusetts.

I lived through Hurricanes Laura and Delta. No power for a month. I used a Coleman camp stove and bought a small one like you are showing from Walmart. It was $19. More expensive now, but it works great. I use indoors.

Thank you for this tutorial. I, too, have this butane stove but have never used it, either. I found a case of butane canisters at a good price at a Costco Business store. They also had the portable stove there as well. I have rain ponchos, tarps, matches, lighting (solar garden lights from the dollar store, for example), oil lamps, flashlights, batteries, extra can openers, metal camping dishes, tents, seeds, water and water filters, instructional books, crank flashlight/phone charging combos, work and garden gloves, etc. So glad you are sharing these wonderful, practical, inspired videos, Sandy!

Thank you Sandy, this is very valuable info! I buy butane canisters at Asian supermarkets, they sell them for Korean BBQs, and they can be much cheaper than Walmart. Love from Canada!

I bought a Coleman stove and fuel. I’ve never used it. Thanks for demonstrating.

I bought that Coleman butane stove after watching your video a few years ago and I’m so glad I did. I did recently buy a 4-pack of the butane cans from Sam’s Club for $8.28. The power went out so many times in my area last summer and now I don’t have to worry about making meals.

I found mine on Amazon … very simple & good price. It really is a sense of security to have one or two should the power go out. Enjoy your videos, thank you!

Thanks for the refresher. I also have one collecting dust. Forgot how very simple they are to use 😊

I have one in my prep, with a couple doz bottles of fuel. I also bought a portable indoor heater with a few doz bottles of propane or can be hooked up to a 20 lbs tank... ❤❤❤ Both can also be used for camping 🏕 😅 😄 Great info Sanday!!

If your interested in saving fuel you might look into pressure cookers - they save an enormous amount of fuel when used properly - Down here in the deep south there were free beaches were the gulf of Mexico meets the marsh land - When my sons were 4 & 5 i home schooled them for a while - I would set up my tent on those free beaches and never leave my camp site for several months or till a tropical storm was going to hit - I did cook things like fish on a open fire, we cought fish daily - i also cooked a lot of beans and brown rice in a pressure cooker while staying on those beaches for months - I packed two aluminum refillable 5 pound propane tanks on all my long term camping ventures - I used a pressure cooker and a propane camping colman stove - those small propane tanks held one gallon - with a pressure cooker i could cook a lot of meals in several months on a little bit of fuel - I had ordered books written by people who had sailed the open waters - they had sailed on the open waters for months at times so they understood what it was to conserve fuel till they arrived at the next port - Every yr down here there tropical storms or huicanes - Instantly butain and propane is sold out - It can help to read cook books writen by those that have lived on the open water were there supplies is limited for a time -

Hi Sandy, it's Joe. I have a Coleman duel burner propane stove. I have lots of 1 pound bottles and 20 pounders to refill the 1 pounders. I also have cat food can stoves, and pop can stoves. They use alcohol. I have life straws and sawyer filters. I also have a Berkey. I have lots of stainless steel bushcraft cooking equipment. 😠💪 ..................... 😎👍👍

I bought the Coleman and got the attachment to hook up to BBQ LP...just got an EcoFlow Delta 2 with Solar Panels...I have 2 gas generators but figure better off with Solar Generator...hang tough stay safe God Bless

Your videos are full of useful info. Oh and blue is a color that always looks nice on you. Take care and God bless!

Hi Sandy, I actually bought one of these stoves about five years ago and I have it buried in my shed in the backyard. This is such a good idea to get it out and go over how it works! I need to put it in a place that I know where to find it. I also need to order some more butane thank you so much for this important reminder because if I needed it, it would probably take me a whole day to find it! By the way, you look so fit and trim!

I bought a couple of these, and the propane adapter that allows me to connect to a large propane tank

Yes butane stoves are the best, I have two. One is a just in case spare new one. Get my fuel at Sam's club. Also you need to check out THERMAL COOKERS such as the Shuttle Chef. You can make a huge pot of food and just use maybe 10-15 minutes of fuel with these. Thermal cooking saves time, money and fuel.

don't forget about using your chafing dishes and fondue pots in a pinch

Hi Sandy🎉 GREAT video. Please, please, please do a video on the BERKY WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM, soon. Thanks 🙋

Great advice, we have one and ordered butane cans at a great price in Amazon! Great demo!

Great tutorial

Thx for this helpful information!

The green coleman propane 1 lb tanks can be refilled from the 20lb grill tanks! They just have to have the little air release valve! Edit- and you need an adapter to connect the two. There are videos on YT showing how!

I have found Butane in Asian Markets in my area, South Mississippi. Very inexpensive! Note...Butane does not work in extremely freezing weather. I would also get a solar power bank with solar panels and some propane that you could use sparingly if the electricity is out for a long time. We never know what might happen. It is good "to try" to be prepared based on what one has learned about what to do, in case of an emergency. I really need to do more research on this topic. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you, I need this! stay safe, y'all

Thanks

i bought one just like this this week!

I've always used propane camp stoves. On a shopping trip to Walmart a couple of years ago I happened to see an end counter advertising an $8 butane camp stove sale! Even though I had never used them, I instantly grabbed one, figuring it would be a good addition to my preps. Being familiar with camping gear, I knew the price was a steal! Now the price of propane has gone up so much, I think I should switch to the butane stove anyway! *Side note regarding alcohol stoves: Be EXTRA careful with them. The flame can be almost invisible!

I bought one of these after your previous video. Today I was more excited to see what you were cooking--- 😆 (Next time, your viewers would like to see you eat the egg!)

Sawyer and Grayl are two of the more popular water filters other than the life straw. From what I understand the life straw will get difficult to use (you have to suck the water threw it) but works in a pinch. The Sawyer has many different types of filters to choose from. If you get the Grayl (some of these will remove pesticides and other harmful chemicals/ farm ponds or water near farms "hikers") I would recommend the larger one because it's easier to press down. Most of those are for personal filtration (backpack kind of thing) not filtering gallons except the Sawyer has some larger containers and they last longer. By the way Pathfinder Dave Canterbury's store has much of this stuff on his website and the have muti-fuel stoves as well as a lot of other camping/survival gear.

I'm on my second butane stove. I use it to make my weekly Hot Pot. yum.

Remember, butane ignites poorly in cold weather, so just tuck it inside your coat and warm it in cold weather. Once it is burning, it will warm the canister to keep the gas flowing, no trouble. ALSO. KOVEA makes a butane/propane mix fuel canister. Since the propane ignites better in cold weather, I keep a few just to get things going during that initial stressful, power down period. I get mine at Bi Mart .

Great stoves, I camp & travel a lot. I bought mine at Walmart, You mentioned buying butane fuel at both: Walmart & from Amazon. Ordering a case of 24 butane cans off Amazon is much cheaper than buying them at Walmart, you save money buying the butane off Amazon.

Love your idea. But shtf 2 weeks ago. Go to town and buy a replacement tank. Good luck. Personally ill continue cooking with wood.

I a going to buy this gas stove! I just hope that we have the electricity to keep the refrigerator running! I’m ordering powdered eggs, buying canned soups, dehydrated broccoli, stuff that doesn’t need refrigeration.

There are some that are uncomfortable using gas appliances - there are also alcohol portable stoves or sterno stoves - Many that live on sail boats don't care for gas appliances and use alcohol stoves -

I bought a couple of the Butane stoves. I bought both from Amazon, one is Japanese made and the other is Colemen I think. I got some of my butane from a cash and carry store up the street from me. The others were bought from Amazon. BTW I also bought a Butane Heater which could also be used to cook food.

I buy all of my canisters at the local Asian store and they are cheaper than Walmart.

I ordered my butane cannisters off of Amazon at the same time I bought my stove which is a different brand. I bought 8 cannisters.

The Butane used to be cheap at Sams Club @ 4 cans for under $9 but now my Local Sams & even their website no longer have them at all.

Coleman dual fuel with dual burner

The butane stoves and canisters are available at many restaurant supply stores.

Great idea!...unfortunately, I live in an apartment complex for seniors that prohibits storing fuels of any type in our apartments.

We take ours on our picnics.

Walmart has the Stove under their Ozark Trail brand for $19.88

Sandy, forgive my ignorance, but can you use the portable gas stove in doors, in your kitchen ? Or is it only for outdoor use ? Thank you.

Sorry if this has already been answered..but where is the best place to store the cans of butane? I would like to get some extra, but not sure where to store. We have a basement that stays cool and an outbuilding that gets quite warm..but not to terribly hot like some garages I`ve seen.

Are there any portable stoves that can be used indoors??

This not about the stove. The candle you made. Does the solid crisco ever catch on fire?

Can I use this for daily use?

New dog or dog sitting?

How about the " induction" cook tops" I'm seeing?

How about induction cookinh

How do you know when the cans are empty?😮😮😮😮

My induction cooker has to have electricity.

No electric what?

S O L A R is better.

No electricity means you won't have food to cook!

Love your idea. But shtf 2 weeks ago. Go to town and buy a replacement tank. Good luck. Personally ill continue cooking with wood.
