Coleman Liquid Fuel

Grate situation resolved. I found this piece of junk propane stove at the thrift store today for $2.50 and harvested the grate off of it. Needed to be modified a bit but it fits OK and probably nobody but me will ever know the difference. The poor donor stove is missing the propane dingle tube, both knobs are broke off and it's filthy... probably end up being patch panels for something and a small amount of scrap metal.

Fueled up the 425 and it runs great as expected!

The little single burner wasn't running at full chooch when we were at Carlisle for Ford Nationals. I took apart the vaporizing tube to take a gander at the internals. The cleaning rod had quite a bit of carbon on it. After I go it cleaned and ran a pipe cleaner with some paint thinnner and then denatured alcohol, it was able to get a perculator coffee pot perkulating again. Not as fast as the dual burner stove, but it was able to do it. So, good enough.

Was at an auction today and couldn't help myself... there were two Coleman stoves that I got for $2 each so $4.40 total with fees... One is a 425F and a 413F, the 425 is cleaner and is dated 2/82 and the 413 doesn't have a stamp. The 413 is missing the carry handle but still has the drop down legs. Both have liquid in the tanks but haven't tried pumping them up...

I'll post pics later tonight after it's dark and I stop doing stuff... just came in to wash my hands and got sidetracked...
