I picked up this stove for a good price on FB Marketplace last fall. I had previously thought a 3-burner stove would be far too cumbersome, and this one is, but my curiosity won out. It has some rust, dents, and peeling paint, but is still in very usable condition. There is not much information about this specific model online. I was able to find more examples of it listed for sale in BC than documented in collector forums. I can't pinpoint the differences between the 446 and 446B. The control knob seems to be a different colour, but that could be production year variation as well. Made in Canada, as all 446's seem to be. Explains why they are more common around here than the far more popular Kansas-made 426 3-burner. No date stamps on the tank tabs, or anywhere else unfortunately. The grate has straight bars and is in two sections, one being twice as wide as the other. Some chrome paint peeling off the paddle-style auxiliary burner controls. Diamond shaped holes. Robertson screws. Basic lighting instructions in English and French on the peeling clear plastic label Some dents on the bottom. Holes to accommodate the 9A stand, which I don't currently own. I have seen some pictures of similar stoves packed with 2 tank/generator assemblies, since a second one fits perfectly inside. It would certainly be convenient to have pre-filled tank ready to go if fuel ran out mid-cook. My worry would be finding a safe home for the second tank while the stove is in use. If it's left out on a table, it's vulnerable to clumsy fellow campers. While it's always wise to have spare parts packed with any stove, I think a spare fuel bottle would be a more practical use of the space. It came with a regular 1-piece fill cap. I bought the pressure gauge cap from Old Coleman Parts. I find it very useful to have on a fuel tank so large. The folding high stand packs away perfectly inside the stove. I bought the stove and stand separately so this was a delightful discovery. Lighting it up Just the main burner open full The design of the Coleman generator will not allow for the flame to be shut off completely as soon as the valve is closed. The residual gas in the generator continues to burn until it is exhausted. Personally, I like it. If you accidentally shut the valve while turning the flame down, you don't need to reach for a lighter to get it lit again. I timed it and this stove kept burning for 104 seconds after closing the valve. Anders
