    With the price tag string on the handle; I have to ask, what did you pay for it?
    Don't forget the before and after photos.

    Thats interesting, it seems to be doing the fuel-air starting mixture by means of two manual valves. Probably a patent dodge.

    That's correct. A Coleman, as you know, devised the simple up-down lever. In order to make this stove function like that AGM, whom i believe was the manufactourer of this stove, used the two manual valve system.

    Way too much, $15, but since I was already there and didn't have one.... :)

    Gee, i seem to remember buying several of my stoves for this very reason, "Because i did not have one." Trouble is, now i have several and don't use but 1 or 5 at a time.
