stove for euopean camping - finding fuel: Do I get those empty in the US, and if so, how easy is it to get them filled or buy replacements in Europe, particularly in Germany?

1) isopro canisters are not available empty, they are factory charged like a propane tank but mini sized. 2) U.S. or otherwise they are available at many sporting goods stores that sell camp gear. 3) YES ispro canister stoves are very easy to use and an affordable choice. BUT... 4) You can NOT fly isopro canisters anywhere, US or international, so you have to buy them overseas if that is your stove/fuel of choice. 5) You also can NOT fly camp stoves, at least not in the US and often International will prevent flying with them. The 'official' rule is, if it is brand new, never been used, has NO fuel or residue in it you could fly it BUT since TSA would really have no way of knowing if its new they will often remove it from your luggage if it is found. No to mention, just having it in your luggage even if new gives them cause to open and search your luggage, which then opens up the possibility of things becoming 'lost'.... lastly, my personal, prefereance and experience is to make an alcohol stove at your destination, youtube search for 'pop can alcohol stove'. Easy, cheap and, available world wide, without having to fly the stove or the fuel. They work.

Yes, this works just like the original version of the stove, just in a lighter, smaller version. There are 3 jets that are easily swapped out in the field if required. One for isobutane canisters, one for naptha, and one for gasoline/diesel/kerosene etc.... The hose that connects to the red fuel canister in the picture, will also connect to isobutane canisters. Just have the jet installed for whatever fuel type you want to burn and your cooking with fire...as the saying goes. I've been using this stove for the last year and am very happy with it. The last stove you'll ever need to buy. Highly recommended. Convenience of canisters, and the flexibility to burn any fuel you can find. What's not to love??

The only places you could run into problems are parks with burn bans which are mostly out west like in Colorado and California. But even out there where you have to use alcohol or gas stoves its worth having one of these in your pack for emergencies since you cant run out of fuel.

Hi. We have natural gas. No option in our area for dual fuel. Stove is second to none. B.

A camping supply store might have one , but you'd probably have to buy the whole basket. You could also try this -- Coleman Percolator replacement parts ---- http://www.ereplacementparts.com/coleman-coffee-maker-parts-c-161242_161815.html?gclid=CKWvkeTBy7oCFcs-Mgod3kgA8A Good Luck !

Same here, even though I emailed DBROTH asking if it was available for immediate shipment. Was assured it was in stock. Also had order at Circuit City canceled AFTER they shipped the VW-BN1 burner.

I own 2 of the cheap Chinese stoves and I will say they work pretty darn well. However, I will be purchasing a Pocket Rocket. This video comparison ( https://youtu.be/IRgxRENrmV4 ) convinced me to spend the extra bucks. The boil time and wind test were eye opening. I will keep my cheapies as backup.

Hi Jason, It is a great stove for 1-2 But 3 is not really the best. If you are going to camp with 3, get a second stove. or even a third. They fold flat and if you have wood available where you are going. You don't have to pack any fuel. The extra stoves are nice because you can heat water for cleanup or coffee after heating with one of them. I think you get the idea!

if they have 220 to 230 electricity it works real great. i am in germany right now and were used to those cheap once they had in the 1990's, this is much better, all your american appliances work on it (i have an electronic pressure cooker that requires 1800 watts and it works just great). what is also nice, it has a button switch that disconnects you from the current, the older once run continually until you unplugged them, now you just throw a switch. if you have a 220 appliance, it will work for you in reverse when you take it with you to the states. problem: i dont think amazon can ship it to an apo address (i just assume thats what you have), but if you are able to purchase it,and handcarry it on the plan with you or have someone bring it with them, you should have no problem at the airport. i left it in the box, taped it well and paid for a second piece of luggage at the airport. -for mailing make sure to check the apo requierements-amazon has a help section that states hat can be shipped. hope this helped. margarete

Thought the stove is made from "some" foreign products shipped to the U.S. the stove is made in the U.S.Aonce you have one and take care of it, the stove can last you a life time.

just need a BBQ type reg and hose, or borrow the one off your BBQ. I bought one at the local Ace hardware, but Home Depot carries them too. Walmart might also. Camping goods places, Walmart, Sports authority, Camping world , will have ways to do multiple hookups. so one tank will do several things. Remember it takes propane, not natural gas.And you have to adjust the air to get a pretty blue flame with the bolt that fits in the burner.

I received the stove but haven't used it yet. I ordered the fuel from a different seller but my order wasn't filled.

Def not, however when I was on the islands of Philippines I seen kerosine stoves that looked similar to the Coleman stoves. They must be available somewhere here in the states. Although I assume they wud be inefficient and smokey.

Did a long post on my review. I'll pull the info from my own post... If it was easy to find a match I wouldn't have had to post all those numbers. 8+) If you've been reading there are two versions out there for cases 4430 and 4431.I bought a stove Product number is 2000003737 which the included manual says it is a 5469 series.On coleman's web site, 2000004427 - PerfectFlow(tm) InstaStart(tm) 2-Burner Stove - is a 5469 SeriesThis Amazon case is a 4430 is 20x13x4. So if you plan to put your 5469 series stove in this, I can tell you the case JUST fits like a glove around the stove. Everything has to fit INSIDE your stove to fit in the case.

I wish I were able to answer your question. I have yet to receive the stove due to shipping issues. I expect to receive the new stove, from a different vender, sometime next week. If you have any question in the future please feel free to forward them to me.

I can check, but I'd bet my next paycheck that it's China. There are about 20 different brandings of this same stove. All work the same. My guess is that one factory makes these for whoever wants to place an order and put their brand on them. Nothing wrong with that, but this isn't the same as Camp Chef's various propane stoves. When I called them to ask about butane and altitude, they didn't know much about this particular product. Again, nothing terribly wrong about this. If it were made in USA, it wouldn't be any better, but would cost $110 ... and nobody would buy it.
