So I got my hands on this Nuttle Kamp Kitchn from about 1950, and it's so simutlaneously sturdy and lightweig that I want to actually use it. It's set up for a very, very obsolete propane canister, though. I need to either convert it to propane or just replace the stove with some little butane burners or something. My question is this: with a stove this old (seemingly unused, but still), is there any sense in hooking the original burners up to new fuel? Are they likely to work reasonably well? Or should I just go the replace-with-new-burners route?
What a sweet find you have there. Show stopper at group outing. Seems folks have converted Coleman Picnic Stove to use modern fuels so would think you would be fine using those burners. Well worth giving it a go first with butane cans like GasOne uses. Folks have a way to refill old cans too. Second best would be to put new propane burners from a donor OR burners from 425, 413 I have never messed with converting old LP stoves so no help, just ideas.
Hard to tell from the photo but it shouldnt be too hard to adapt to a newer butane or propane cylinder. However it looks like one burner is slaved off of the other one which is uncommon with gas. As long as the burners have lots of small holes they are high pressure so you can undo the gland nut near the cylinder and make up an adapter to a more modern cylinder
Welcome to CCS @Taryn Seawright Nice stove It's already setup for propane, so I would just adapt the bottle connection for a modern bottle.
