i just got done with this Coleman 426D that i got a few months back. I has been sitting in the shed since and it really needed to be cleaned! I scrubbed it down to get it ready for paint this winter. I got some more rust to get rid of, but it is alot better than it was!
426D is a very good stove. When I first saw it, I told myself, who would want to lug around that thing as big as an immigrant's trunk? When I saw one in person, I thought, I've gotta get one of those! One became two, and two became three. I am really trying to keep it that way. Show us some blues!
Good start lad. These stoves are workhorses to shame a Clydsdale. When you are old and gray and so long as you and whoever you pass it to keeps it clean and oiled proper, it will outlast your grandchildren. lance
