I like my old Coleman I found at a rummage sale for $10.

It runs best with white gas but I use gasoline regularly, just have to clean it more often. A .22 cleanig kit works well. If I find white gas in sale I'll buy it.

Amish here will sell us white gas cheaper than anywhere else.

I grab onto every old Coleman stove I find for what I call a reasonable price. I bought my first one used from a friend of mine and after using it I loved it! I now own 5 or 6 of them with 2 burners and 3. Most I paid for any of them was $20 and that was the first one. The last one I bought at a garage sale was still in its cardboard box and hadn't even been ran long enough to discolor the grill, paid a whopping $5 for it.

I have run gallons and gallons of 91 octane regular gasoline with no ethanol through both my lanterns and stoves for years and have never had to clean them. Maybe Ive just gotten lucky. One time in Canada I actually had to run 50:1 through a stove to finish frying fish while remote camping, had a yellower flame and you could smell the oil but it burned no problem. Bucking the wind on the way home the 1954 3hp ran out of gas first, then the '74 2hp started spitting, the boy dug out the stove tank and I emptied the 50:1 into the 2hp on the fly. lol Good times.

Like I said in earlier post, I do mix Starbrite enzyme treatment in the gas b4 I put them away for long a time.

I am kinda of a “Stovie” , I love the 413 series,have bought n sold probably 60 over last couple years. Recently sold a bunch of lanterns n stoves off. I bought the propane adapter to replace the red white gas tanks n went to small bottles or big tanks with hoses for bigger jobs. Really makes the stoves much more versatile. Still like to make bacon, eggs, n taters in cast iron n old red gas tanks.
