Has anyone used stove with the small green Coleman Fuel canisters? I have the adapter and hose. wondering how long it will burn on small canisters

I believe it s designed for a standard Propane cylinder, I am not sure about its usage with the Colman Canister given its heat output capacity, there are other smaller burners for your purpose

I don't know which Coleman canisters you used, I know they make one that should work. I haven't tried the Coleman type. I have used Gas One and Max Butane 8oz Butane canisters and they have both worked with this stove.

Butane canisters with a Lindal type threaded valve are used with the stove. Some brand names are MSR and Primus. You can also use a bayonet type valve butane canister (like Brunton) if you purchase an adapter

If you have a (more-or-less) standard propane camping stove, this hose/extension should do the job for you. Nothing like having a looooong cooking time available. Also good for small heaters during winter power fails.

Hey, I just used this burner to brew beer last night and it took a little longer than a normal stove but it worked really well . I only boiled around 2.5 gallons or so for the brew (in one of those old black canning kettles) and it took around 1.5hrs to start boiling after I steeped some grains and added the malt extract. Im not sure it would do 5 gallons at once, but you dont need to boil 5 gallons if your just doing a single batch of extract beer. I would recommend doing the boil in 2.5-3 gallons (should be plenty, even if you are adding some specialty grains), and then topping it off with cold water when the boil is over (also speeds up the chilling process). Otherwise, if youre boiling outside I have heard rave reviews about those little propane set ups (esp 'the hurricane'). I wanted a burner in my downstairs 'kitchenette' (with minimal fire risk), so this seemed like a good option, and so far it is working out well. Good luck.

Try the alcohol stove. You can make it in about fifteen minutes with just two aluminum cans. I used to used canister stoves on my ultralight journeys, but if you're only boiling water for the most part, they are so light. You can't even buy them. Just Google penny stove if you wanna give it a try

All you need to do is screw the stove onto the fuel canister. I used a Coleman can that I bought at Walmart. Make sure that the arms are extended. Once you have done this, turn the lever on the side. Use a lighter or a match and that is it. It should light and the more you open the valve the more heat. Good luck.

Coleman does make canisters which fit this stove; however, if you are thinking of the standard 1lb propane canisters which fit large camping stoves, they do not fit. I use Coleman canisters with mine, as Coleman's are slightly cheaper and hold slightly more fuel than MSR's, 250g v. 227g. That said, I have found Coleman's quality control to be inferior to MSR's, and have had Coleman canisters whose valves seemed to not open completely, resulting in impaired cooking.

You use the small cylinders you get at Target or Walmart....usually 2/$5.00. I remember using this kind of propane on a camping stove. I grill 3-4 times a week & since the spring when I purchased this I'm on my 3rd tank. You can also buy the hook-up to use the large tank too. I love this grill....it's so easy, I put it together myself.

It has the fixed Lindal connection that works with butane only (the typical backpacking stoves). You can buy an adapter for propane to butane conversion , eg Kovea, but they cost about $25 extra bucks. This stove connection will not screw onto your standard LPG (propane) connector; the kind you can buy cheaply eveywhere. If you buy the conversion valve the stove works well w/ butane (Lindal valve) and your standard LPG canisters. I have liked this stove for the price. The adapter makes it usable w/ either gas type

It is the small green Coleman or other brand propane cylinder, usually used for camp stoves. Any Big 5 or Sports Authority type store will carry them.

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??

I got the GasOne Butane Canisters. Works great. The canisters are easy to place in the portable butane stove and easy to remove when you are done using it.

I have never used either stoves. I use a solo stove that uses twigs and works great. Sorry I can't help.

No the stove only works on. The canisters it's recommend for! Unless there is a adapter that I don't know about but I don't think there is one!

You can use standard butane canisters. They all fit and work perfectly with this unit. By the way, this is the Mercedes of stoves. Burns really hot and even when canisters get low, they still have enough power to cook with. I never have had my stove on high, it's just too hot.

Yes. I have bought and used Coleman's canisters with the MSR stove. It works the same as the MSR name brand ones.
