Camp Stove

[Dakota Houligans]

We still have the good old Colman white gas that has been used and abused but keeps working. We have one of the jet boild stoves for hiking or warm drinks. We have 2 lanterns that use the same fuel. It's nice to only carry one fuel type. But we cook on the fire as much as possible so the stove doesn't get used a lot unless we are in a hurry.

I've posted pictures of my old Sears stove but I've had this 414 Powerhouse longer than the Sears but had never used it. I broke it out this evening to fix supper on, getting it ready to take on a trip this summer. Also got to use my Sea-to-Summit XPOT for the first time too!

I spent $14.99 on a butane single burner. I've been using it for probably 10 years now. It's small and easy to use.

Camp Chef Everest. We done a way with the 1lb bottles & use the 5ft. hose & bulk propane. Couldn't be any happier with Camp Chef's products. We even use their Camp Chef Mountain Mesa Series Tables (2 of them)

I'm just getting started overlading. I have both white Gass and Lp Colman two burner stoves. Which would work best ?

Best is in the eye of the user. Some LP setups may be finicky once you pass 8000 ft in elevation (give or take a little) but being you are from IA and the max elevation for the whole state being under 1700ft, you dont have to worry about the LP issue at higher elevations unless you cross borders. The dual fuel is great since it can use white gas, av gas, and just general good ole petrol from your rig if shit really hits the fan. As you liked my post previously you know I like partner stove (ALOT) but still own several coleman dual fuels. I would take the partner over the coleman, but I always keep a Primus omnifuel in my GHB. That dam thing can run on vodka and diesel if needed. IE flexibility truly is the king of roost on the zombie apocalypse, but for good ole "works every time with out finicking too much" propane is it. But you will never hear a blues song strumb a cord about the propane blue flame. FYI fox outfitters makes a really nice folding grill that takes up little room in the chuck box (I have all 3 sizes, the medium size is great for the rig and seriously takes up the room of a few deck of card, check it ou) and I just bought in the last month a Titan solo stove and 1800 ml pot for backpacking this year. I have used it a few times and must say it is a decent little setup for using biomass. IE wood/ twigs/ bark/ etc from your explorations.

IE one will find that there is more options to shake a stick at but most are generally pretty cheap which allows one to experiment and find what it takes to make their chuck kit complete.

Its like the Ford vs Chevy vs Toyota argument. That is why I own a Nissan.

Wow, wasn't expecting that extensive of a response, but I really appreciate it.
Thanks

Still using these two old 425's... No complaints yet.

We're heading out in the morning for a week of camping and I decided to get a new stove for the trip. Nothing fancy, quite the opposite actually … just a basic 2 burner Coleman propane stove. I've used the same basic unit for the last 15 years or so and it's held up well. It still works great but it's a 3 burner stove and that's the only thing I don't like about it. Two burner is the way to go.


I also have a Coleman single burner stove which I sometimes take on day trips or as an extra when with bigger groups when camping.

I have been thinking about getting one of the colman single burner stoves like that power house you have pictured. I will be doing most of my overlanding by myself so I'm thinking I probably don't need a two burner stove.
I have been checking out butane single burner stoves also. Very compact and light. I don't have any experience with them though

I really like my camp chef everest, and then I have the adapter to hook up the larger LP tanks from Amazon. I looked at the partner stove, but could not yet justify the price since there was other items I wanted to buy first.

Anyone have any experience with butane fueled stoves ?
They look like I may be able to save some space and weight if they would work out.

Do you really camp with a full size coffeemaker and a gallon of dish soap? I just carry a little 4 oz nalgeen HDPE bottle for stuff like that, will cut down on what you have in your kit and prevents messes. Nice setup regardless, just seen the soap and had to say something.

Yep... When we camp with the wife we sure do. Happy wife, happy life. She HAS to have a coffee maker and the dish soap we had just got in town since we didn't have any packed. That was the only one they had, so that was what we grabbed. If it is just the boys and me, I use the percolator. Just as easy IMO.
