Sam, you got some pretty pictures of that Primus 71! Very nice. I liked the look of it too, kind of an aurora borealis look to it :mrgreen:
Finally got to light the 502 today. It burned really well - first a foot high yellow flame, then settled to a blue, but then some GREEN flame...
It must be alcohol (not kerosene) that you prime it with? Just trying to understand if it could be used as a kerosene stove in a situation where...
Mike, I may have missed it, but how do you prime the 502 (if you don't have a propane torch)?
I'm broke now, but happy I got them :mrgreen: What makes the 502 a favorite of yours? I don't know much about their pros/cons yet.
Yonadev, I wondered the same thing.
Excellent post, thanks for that! So it looks like you put the drum over the stove and let it burn in order to provide heating?
I picked up a 502 (1975) and a 425F (1980) today. The 425F looks to have only been lit once or twice at most, and the slave burner has never been...
Thanks again for some good info. I don't remember if it was this one or my OTHER new 425e, but I took both apart last week and one of them had a...
Congrats on a great deal~! My 425E (purchased recently) does the same thing (not wanting to light, flame distorting, etc) when I'm trying to get...
I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but how about the Coleman Dual Fuel 414? I have one - it's about 6 inches wider and 3 inches deeper than the...
OK, hope I'm not wasting too much bandwidth for something somewhat dumb, but... It's funny what you notice about guns, or guitars, or camp stoves...
I unscrewed the generator from it. I guess then I just unscrew it from the tank? I'm not sure what there is to be cleaned in it - the wire looked...
I've got a 425f - it will run, but it takes a lot of fiddling around to keep it going for the first 5 minutes. I pump it up 40 times, turn the...
Wow!! How did you find this deal, someone you knew or an ad somewhere?? What a deal!
Nice payoff for your treasure hunting!
Your stove looks great, nice work! It is amazing to me to see how little Coleman has changed the design in 75 years, and to see how well one of...
Excellent tips, FB - thanks!
Very cool stoves, I haven't stumbled across one of those yet.
Very nice! Have you lit it up yet?
