Tanks. Best deal on a 20 lb propane tank with a gauge is at U-Haul. They refill too.

I have been using a two burner camp stove in my cabin for eight years. I use an extension hose from a 20 lb bottle kept outside. Live here year round.
The regular that comes with the stove has a safety valve that will release us under too much pressure, or as I have come to suspect with fatigue over time.
Mine has failed twice releasing gas in my cabin. I was home both times. I replaced the first one. But shall rethink my approach.
I will get an adapter that fits on the tank outside so I’m not relying on the one inside.

I switched to a propane two burner this year and also purchased the adaptor and a 10# tank ($50). I can’t believe it took me this long to convert. When I got the tank filled the kid at the Co-op said “How about $2?”. Nice.

When I lived in Longmont, the local rental place would never charge me to fill my 5lb tank…said it was not worth the trouble. Almost free since I always tipped the guy. I got a unit that also has a vertical pipe connection for a propane lantern. Awesome for car camping

I used the Coleman two burner white gas stoves for years and never had any serious problems. With Coleman Fuel running around $10.00 a gallon, some of the fun has gone out of using them. I have embraced the convenience of the two burner propane stove and I have a couple of the 10 Lb refillable cans around that I can use if need be. I still use the 1 Lb cans when need be, but I haven’t bought one in years. Another propane convenience is a self lighting propane torch for lighting wood fires, where appropriate.

In reply to Rodney Jones. Indeed. The classic two burner PROPANE stove will work with the adaptor hose. The classic two burner whitegas stove will with an adapter (linked above) plus the adapter hose. Hope this helps! Ps. I only have an old LED calculator brain myself. :) EDIT: just updated with a photo that mnay clarify as well.

Disclaimer: I’m not a smart guy and some obvious concepts to most, are overwhelming for me to understand. So please be patient with my Atari brain.

Are you saying that the heavy green classic Coleman two-burner stove that takes the propane bottles, can be made to use fuel from the big heavy BBQ grill tank, with this adapter hose?

The pressure from the big tank is OK to use on the green classic Coleman two-burner stove?

Thank you for this (and other) articles.
