    Coleman 501, in the Stove Reference Gallery HERE, pictured with a visual clue that the model was recalled by Coleman as unsafe. My example evidently escaped destruction.

    Briefly fired up on butane to demonstrate the flame pattern, but not a ‘user’ stove.

    Ik like to nominate my Peak 1 Apex II model 445A700 (mod)
    IMG_20260707_181353.jpg

    Which Is bought for cheap, because the original fuel line was ruptured. I replaced it with a piece of heat resistant fuel line and breaded it with shielding from a scrap piece of CAN-bus wire.
    I also had to repair the pump, because it developed a crack. Which I repaired with shoe sole repair glue.

    Here it is on shrimp cooking duty:

    Sorry no srg link. Didn't know if a scrappy stove like this is eligible for the srg, since it isn't a reference model anymore due to my mod. Maybe more a Frankenstove?

    Thanks for reading
