  True story. &nbsp;This is probably some 30 years ago at this point. &nbsp;I bought a Coleman camp stove as part of a camping / emergency kit from Walmart. &nbsp;I pulled it out, verified it worked, and put it right back in the box. &nbsp;Went years without using it. &nbsp;I was in Florida after a really bad hurricane. &nbsp;We were without power for about two weeks. &nbsp;I pull out the Coleman Camp stove, hook it up, and I&apos;ve got a cooked meal not even 5 minutes later. &nbsp;I noted, that at the time it took me to cook with the Coleman stove was a fraction of the time it took me to cook on the traditional electric stove. &nbsp;<br><br>After we got power back, I put the Coleman stove back in the box. &nbsp;And there it has been every since. &nbsp;But I know I have it if I need it. &nbsp;These days I have an outside grill that pretty much can serve the same purpose. &nbsp;And I have spare fuel canisters for both. &nbsp;<br><br>All I can say is before I even owned a sleeping bag, I had a Coleman stove as part of my emergency kit. &nbsp;It was a major expense at the time working just minimum wage, but I&apos;ve never had a reason to regret the purchase. &nbsp;I just hope the stoves Coleman is pumping out these days match the same quality I got 30 years ago.

  There is no need to rotate through Propane and Butane fuels at the rate you mention. Propane has an indefinite shelf life if stored properly. Butane and Coleman fuel can last years unopened. Just buy the fuel and write the date of purchase on them. I have new old stock propane cylinders that are 40 years old. They still work great.

  Funny he said that the butane fuel is hard to find locally. I also live in Seattle and I found some left next to our dumpster by someone who moved or decided that they needed to ditch 4 full cans. Now I’m thinking of actually getting the stove. I found some locally, literally.

  Mississippi power outage last week hit us. Used a fish cooker and a propane camp stove for heat. Trees popping, dropping huge branches everywhere. Good Neighbor&apos;s and God&apos;s peace and protection got us through it.

  the best emergency stove is prob a coleman dual fuel type, since it was basically designed for the military that could burn any liquid fuel really

  The best beginner video I’ve seen! Thank you for showing the types, what fuel amounts to get, and how to attach the fuel source. This was super helpful for those of us who never used these stoves before. Thank you!

  For those living in the country, they can always practice what people did several hundred years ago, have a central cooking stove . They used to keep these wood stoves burning all day, they cook on it and it produced hot water. The heat given out also heat most of the house. You do have to prepare fire wood in advance.
