These things are bullet proof. I came across three in one summer, for a fair price. One still new in box! Great tutorial. Pro tip: line the bottom of the stove with aluminum foil to keep it clean from over boils/grease.

This is coming in clutch! My friends and I are camping and I just found out my dad still had his 413 H stove from the 70s. It looks exactly like yours but maybe bigger! Thank you so much❤

My daughter is using my stove on one of her forays and called me up asking how the thing works. Its been 20 years since I used it and i could barely remember how so I decided to go to KZfaq for some answers. I sent her your video and the stove is up and running as I write this. Thanks for your clear and precise instructions.

I just want to say that this video was 100% phenomenal I don't even own that stove and I watched the entire video and found it super entertaining you have a good voice to listen to and very calm... Good video

Im glad someone did a video. I was never taught how to properly use these old coleman stoves

These old Coleman stoves are very effective in natural disasters and other emergencies. They require no power and can use unleaded gasoline. They do not need the expensive "white gas". So fuel for these stoves is not a problem unlike any propane based stoves. As I recall you want to use a funnel with a fine mesh or cloth filter to fill them with. Dust and dirt in the fuel can clog the orifice on the end of the generator rod.

This is the most clear and easy to follow instructional on how to use these white gas Coleman grills! I just got a next to new 425 Coleman for $25 at an estate today.

Thanks a lot for this great tutorial. My 90 years old Father gave me 2 of them. It shure brings back some memories ! I used to bring the stove to camping trips to cook some meals. They are still fantastic and I prefer them to the new ones.

I prime my stove with denatured alcohol using a small squirt bottle...I squirt a couple tablespoons into the burner tray and light it to pre-heat the generator. Much cleaner and a nice hot blue flame instead of the dirty yellow flame that deposits soot everywhere. Once the alcohol starts flickering out, I open the gas valve and the stove lights with a nice blue flame.

incredibly informative. EXACTLY what I needed to learn how to use these things. THANK YOU!

Thanks. I have a 424 and I’m not experienced at using it. The video helped.

Thanks for sharing this video! Just scored myself one of these for $25 and needed to learn how to properly operate it!

You won't have the yellow flame if you open the valve all the way, all at once when lighting. That's how the instant lighting system is designed to work. Don't baby the valve. You want lots of flow as it atomizes the fuel better. As soon as it lights, you can start adding more pumps of air. Pressure is your friend here. Try it. You'll like the results. I also recommend turning the lighting lever up prior to shutdown to burn most of the liquid fuel out of the generator. When the flames start to jump off of the burner, then you can close the valve. You'll have a lot less smell and it'll light better next time too.

Thanks for making this video. Well done. My Dad used to take me camping and used one of these. Great memories and hoping to revive it and use with my boys!

Thank You. Lifetime cylinder gas user, and just got a Coleman. This was super helpful.

Thankyou so much for a detail intro into this classic stove. I saw it at a thrift store but didn’t buy but after watching your video I was the first in line outside the store door. Begure it opens. I got it! ☝️👍

A friend bought one of these but we couldn't figure out how to use it. It didn't come with an instruction manual. Thanks for the vid!!!

Dude, best instructions ever! Thanks for the video!

We removed the indoor/outdoor gas stove from our pop up to gain more counter space and bring two Coleman stoves when we camp. There’s something about cooking outside on an old Coleman that’s just more enjoyable to cook on. Ours are from the 70’s and still kicking!

Thanks for this video. I just found me stove that had been in storage for several years and this really helped me to remember how to use my stove.

Really appreciate this tutorial. Very thorough. This was very helpful.

Pro tip: Pour from cans like this with the opening oriented at the top and it won't chug, allowing a nice smooth, chug free pour.

Just wanna say this video was fantastic. Covered every aspect, straightforward and to the point with no rambling, really top notch. Subscribed

Excellent video, very helpful. My dad showed me the various steps of using the old stove, but I could never get it lit. After watching this I will give it another go and see if I can get the old girl running again.

Thanks for the great video! It was a great refresher course for me since I haven't used mine since the 1970's and want to start using it again.

Excellent tutorial!!! Coleman needs to hire you to make instructional and promo videos for their products!!

This is a great video! Great explanation of what's going on in the stove, and very clear instructions. The recap was helpful, as was the demo. I felt very confident by the end . My mom fed my brother and me for two months every summer on a stove like this when we were kids at the cottage.

Thanks for the refresher course. I stunk up the house the other day roasting coffee beans a little darker than usual, and decided I was moving that task outdoors. So I dug out an old Coleman stove I picked up a few years ago, from a couple having a yard sale. They bought it to use on their honeymoon, then stored it away in its original cardboard box. I still have the envelope I found inside when I opened it, with the original instructions - and a campground receipt for 2 nights at South Carlsbad Beach, Ca. for June 20-21, 1969. So it's well over fifty years old, and basically pristine. It's a 413G model, a little bigger and fancier than yours. Inside it along with the envelope, there was a Coleman filter funnel in its original box.

Oh wow, I am having some positive Camping memories now. No company makes a tougher stove anymore. Good Vid.

Very clear and quite thorough. Thanks, it has been many years since I have been camping and our buddy(the designated cook) used one of these for meal prep! P.S., I am 75 years old, and my kids and grandkids probably have never used this white gas model.

I'm bringing mine back up from the basement, and planning on getting it back into prime condition! Thanks for the video!

Thank you for this, have a major winter storm coming my way for the first time in many years and did not know how to use it.

Thanks for the tutorial. My Father left Me one after his passing.

Much appreciated good sir, I picked up one of these at a local Goodwill for ten dollars and it must be an older model as it does not have instructions on the lid. Tested it out with your advice and sure enough, it works great! Thanks for clarifying the operation, now I understand the stove well enough to use with confidence, and good camp times to be had!

Thank you! I needed to know how to operate my Coleman 425F for expected power outages this winter! Your video was great!

I have one I use at 10,000 feet and above in Colorado off-roading. They are the best I can't believe how well they work at any altitude. Very simple design and they last forever way better than gas canisters.

I remember using these in the Boy Scouts back around 1970.

Just purchased one for $5 at a yard sale thanks for the info I always remember my granddad having them

Simple, effective, and just does the job, I love how simple this is. But….. I have seen people using this stove on campsites with the yellow flames engulfing the entire cooker, so you really need to know how to operate this thing correctly.

A very informative video . thank you . I started to collect those stoves many years ago and I think as it sits I have 4 of them in the garage on a shelf . plus fuel of course . I lucked out several years ago and found one of the metal stands Coleman used to sell to put the stoves on . a folding metal stand . it had rust on it so I cleaned it up somewhat and put green rust check paint on it . the funnel I use has a very fine screen in it . these stoves have gone up in price big time . they are something like $179 brand new in Canada . I remember buying them on the used market for $5 to $10 dollars each . I have one I bought from a friends garage sale . it had been sitting up in his attic forever . they used to use it when he was a child . it's dated 1963 on the back of the tank . it's in near mint shape . I think I'll go haul them down today or tomorrow to check on them .

I have my grandpa's stove and it works better than any of the newer ones I have tried. It's a beast and will outlive us all!!! I am going to look but I really hope that you have some cleaning videos to get it in tip top shape!

So much information! Thanks! I literally just picked up a almost new unit. 🙏

I have fond memories of these old stoves and when my family went camping when I was young. I've had many meals cooked on a Coleman stove

got my one second hand, the person I got it off , could not light it properly, it keep lighting inside the vaporizing bit, he said he was doing as per the instructions, so got it and tested it, as per instructions, and yes, it did light inside vaporizing bit, flames shooting out of the air holes, so had a cup of coffee and a think, not a expert on these things, more of a 96 stove man, meself, set it up, and done it my my, , open up value just enough so that I could hear the hiss, put match to it, and bingo, it worked, done this a few times, and it worked ever time, done it the right way, as per instructions, flames inside tube, it was letting in too much fuel doing it the instructions way, not every stove works the same way, found that out with a good old 96, plus some people do not practice using stoves, before they go out, very good vid by the way

Thank you for this Video, you did a great job explaining. I just bought one in an Estate Sale and didn't have a clue as to what went in the Fuel Tank.

Good video. Did a great job of going through all the steps and explaining what to do. These are awesome stoves. Love mine. They are easy to use and pretty much indestructible.

I am one of the lucky ones to have a three burner camp stove and I love it I can have my coffee plus cook at the same time. It's an antique but it keeps on going

Excellent video. I have 2 of these types of Coleman stoves. The only problem they have is the rubber seal in the fuel cap deteriorates eventually. An easy replacement. And the plunger rubber seal deteriorates eventually. An easy repair too. Coleman makes the replacement parts. They are inexpensive.

Thank you so much! I just bought an old pop up camper with no stove top. Then I remembered I have one of these stoves that was given to me many years ago but never have used it or even know how to. I'm glad I watched your video because now I won't be saying "I wonder what this part does🤔, do I even need this part🤔? Where's my plyers and hacksaw🤔? Time to take some of these parts out and see if I can make this baby blaze up😁. Then try to come up with a lie on how I know longer have eyebrows, eye lashes and a sudden sun tan on my face🙄.

I think you have the gift of teaching. This is one of the best instructional videos ever, my friend. Great voice, clear instructions, and you made my anxiousness at getting this thing lit go away. Kudos! Sub'd

Awesome! I got one at a garage sale and didn't know how to use it, now I do! Thanks!

Thank you for using , coleman fuel. You have somewhat put me at ease. Tomorrow or the next day I hope to run a leak test, then proceed with first light of mynew stove. I hope to cook some burgers and try an omlette. I used to watch members of the yacht club use these coleman stoves quite often but never pursued learning their proper function. Thanx for the demonstration most greatful.

I still have one of these from the late 80s, which will come out of retirement for a few months, while I modify the existing stove arrangement on my boat. As of a few years back, there were servicing kits for the tank, including the hand pump. When pouring fuel, turn the can sideways with the width of the can horizontally. This allows more air to enter the can, allowing the fuel to flow smoothly, therefore no spills. This works with any fluid container. Great video.

Love Coleman products and especially their camping stoves and lanterns

Faithful old workhorse camp stove. I've owned one for close to 40 years and it still works perfectly! Great product, great revue.

Thanks, the video was very useful for me.

Thank you for the tutorial. I just picked one up at a garage sale. Looking forward to starting it up...

This was exactly what I was looking for...very informative! Thank you!

This video did me a HUGE favor! What a great channel my friend! I subbed.

Excellent video! Thank you for sharing it.

Excellent class on this stove. Thanks

Man I just found one of these one the side of the road!! The pump needs work but I’m definitely restoring this and using it lol

I love the old coleman stoves

I’m glad I found this instructions I bought mine 23 years ago when the world was going to end lol never used it still in seal box now I’m in Fl and with these hurricane I’m gonna try to use it I’ll just have get the fuel thank you for the video I saved it for future reference 😊

Excellent tutorial! Thanks for sharing!

Excellent video! Thanks a million!

I have had one of these for almost 5 years because my dad died and left one behind in his home. Sad story; he wanted to go camping one day. My brother had died 18 years ago and I wasn't really his camping buddy. I was waiting for my son to be mature enough to go. We lost that opportunity. I want to learn how to camp and show my son. I need to learn how to fish too.

Just got mine, 5$. Kinda beat up, operates perfect! Thanks for the instructions.

Great tutoral on how to use these old coleman stoves. Thank you!! I just purchased a used coleman 421e tourist 1977 for 30 canadian. A little tricky when turning the air valve open. Not exactly pointed up to work. Have a happy holiday. 🙂✌🏻👍🏻💥🔥

thank you sir your explanation is very easy to understand

This video was extremely helpful!

I spot a teacher! Thanks very much!!

Thnx for the video. Good explanations.

Hey thanks. I found one of these in my garage that I'm told hasn't been used in 25 years. I was a little skeptical that the generator was supposed to go over the burner but it was. The stove lit by the way. Both main and auxiliary burner.

Excellent instruction! Thanks❤

Thanks fir the lesson. Super clear.

Fantastic video! Ty

Awesome video thanks mate

Thanks. Very helpful

Very helpful. Thank you.

Awesome instructional video!!!

To shut down, turn the starter rod in the Up position so the liquid fuel disapates and only gas is burning then after one minute close the main valve and let cool.

Great tutorial finally I can use my stove after 1hr trying to get my stove working and almost ready to throw it away

Love these things. I know propane is easier. But these things are so cool.

This thing is awesome, wish i had the exact same one!

Thank you so much!! Best video on this stove on KZfaq!! New sub.

A nice refresher! Thanks!✌🏼

Thanks for your help

Nice tutorial 👍🏻👍🏻

Great video! I still have mine in the box, price tag says $23.49! Same as yours; date code stamp is 11/76. Still going strong! Also had a flat griddle that sits on top of the burners in the box; had to make those eggs and bacon the easy way on that, ya know! 😁Too bad they don't make things like they used to......

I ate many meals cooked on similar Coleman stoves set up in roadside parks on road trips back in the 1950's and 1960's. Also used these stoves on many Boy Scout camping trips. They are rugged and will cook a meal. But don't expect the same kind of results as you get from a modern gas stove in your home. First, it doesn't take much wind to really interfere with the flame of the burners. The wind screens help somewhat but outdoor cooking in even light breeze conditions is difficult. In a heavy breeze, it becomes a grueling chore. Due to combustion by products however, this stove should not be used in an enclosed space. Second, the burners are small which is good enough for heating up a can of pork and beans in a small pot. But they are not well suited for cooking a large 10" skillet full of food or boiling a 6 qt. pot of stew. The stove can do it, but it will take a lot longer than you think to heat up a large pot with a lot of food in it. If you are not in a hurry, then you can cook pretty much anything. Essentially, these stoves are best for heating up simple meals for one person. They are not really designed for cooking large quantities of food to feed an entire Boy Scout troop or hungry family. That said, everyone should own one of these as a backup emergency cooking device for power outages or natural disaster situations. They are essential for a storm shelter or survival bunker if the area has good ventilation. Great video but no need to repeat the same set of instructions within the video. The video length could have been half as long and still covered every single aspect.

Good video. Thank you

i have a bad habbit of collecting the stoves and lanterns i got too many LOL. these things come in very handy durring an emergency. my house is all electric so when the power goes out . i can still make food. i do have one stove that is in really bad shape so i use it to melt lead to make fishing weights and such, but i dont use it for anything else. i have propane stoves and lanterns as well in side the house i will normaly use the propane ones when needed over the gas ones, you got to be safe with these things. but there is nothing better than camping and cooking on these stoves , for some reasion the food seems to taste better. espically when you use cast iron pans. every body should have one in case of emergency. espically people who live in coastal areas and tornado areas. stay safe out there people

Very informative. Just found one for free I couldn't turn it down. But it's definitely different then my butane Coleman

Thank you helped soo much!!

Thanks, I didn't know how to use the aux burner. I do now

watch every year, Thanks

Thanks for the video!

Awesome! Thank you! I now have 🔥

great guide
