I got one at a garage sale and it is like the guys say older and works very well. Compared to you I over paid at $20 but that is ok because I have easily gotten $100 use out of it.

Some of the finest meals I ever ate have been cooked on one of those. I have two of them. One is the large version

Those are great stoves one I have like it came from similar deal.. dumpster pick.. One I use the most and like best is big 3 burner. Also have one that takes the LP tanks. I think the white gas stove are bit more monkeying, but run hotter than LP.

Mac I've also read that you can convert the white gas to propane. And the white gas have bigger burners than the the new propane, so you get more heat than the new propanes. I will look into that if/when white gas gets hard to find.

I don't know about the newer stoves so much. But I have a newer Colmen lantern I was given. It can run on regular unleaded gas. What every one now buys as Rec Gas. I can say I have cheated and ran my old stove on that Rec gas. I think there is some difference in the generators between ones can run white gas and regular unleaded.
