Add a dual fuel generator which runs off propane. That’s how we survived last week. I picked up at an estate sale a Coleman propane slow cooker which was almost new. I said it was for backyard barbecues.

@superdave8248 3 года назад

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

@michaelkaer 2 года назад

I have a friend who is teaching himself about foraging and I asked him how he would cook if the power went off for a few days in the winter. Sometimes the right question at the right time can change everything. He had never thought about it before and it opened up a new area to prep for.

@andyuehara 7 лет назад

Another benefit of cooking with these "limitations" is that you end up learning recipes and techniques to be more efficient or fast. One pot pastas, for example, are great because you only use one burner and less water for cleaning (but I'm not sure how "gas efficient" these recipes are). Also, these recipes are great to use fresh foods when the power is down and you don't want them to spoil.

Excellent tips Urban Prepper! Growing up in RI, our neighborhood lost power for 5 days during the Blizzard of 1978. We had no electricity, heat or hot water during that time (it was early February = dead of winter with 2 feet of snow & snow drifts of 4,6 or 8 feet). All we had was a small ornamental fireplace in the living room for heat & for cooking. After that we made sure we had a decent propane BBQ Grill and a good stockpile of firewood just in case it happened again! People that live in hurricane zones should also make similar preparations for the late Summer and Fall months as well. Thanks again for spreading the word!

For those living in the country, they can always practice what people did several hundred years ago, have a central cooking stove .

Well done on the info. I happen to have both of those stoves . My single burner isn’t Coleman but my propane stove is and I have the carry case for it. I have had my Coleman stove for about 20 years and it still works. So I don’t have to worry about cooking during an emergency situation. I also have a camp oven that works well with it. My daughter also just got me the Big Buddy Heater for my birthday. So I am covered for cooking and heat for the winter months. I prefer an 8 ft hose for the heater and use a 20lb tank it will last for about a month on low and will comfortably heat a room and is good for indoors and outdoors. This is a good product for SHTF and it will be going with me if I have to bug out. Easy to carry and easy to hook up and use.

It's the stove I use in my tiny house. It's the same style, and same price, as the Coleman. Cans are $5/four cans, so, $1.25 each, at any Asian grocery. They last me quite a while, since I use my electric pressure cooker for much of my cooking these days.

@jamesschneider3828 Год назад

I would like to add the fact that different fuel types work differently in cold weather. Butane canisters are really bad for bug out in freezing temperatures as once your below freezing is probably won't work but if used indoors it is very good, quiet and plenty powerful. Propane is great in most situations as temps don't effect performance unless you are way colder than 0° F. I would consider white or unleaded gas stove as you can use automotive gas and runs in about any temp range you may experience.

@rebeccaenlow4900 3 года назад

We have always had the Coleman two burner camp stove. It’s what we use to make coffee when the power goes out. It’s easy to use and store. The wood stove inside our house is good for warming up already cooked food. Prepare at least one meal in advance of bad weather.

@rbrtck 6 лет назад

If there are Asian stores in or near your area, then you could probably find butane cans for half the price you're paying. They also sell stoves very (very, very) similar to the Coleman one. By the way, this whole system, including the stove and butane cans, was invented in Japan and/or Korea, which is why the butane cans are made in Korea. The Coleman stove is merely one of the knockoffs of the original Asian stoves (with customized markings, of course), as it's not as though Coleman invented this system.

@MasterK9Trainer 5 лет назад

We have two Coleman stoves. Came in handy after power loss due to a hurricane. It's easy to get propane, but too many people wait till it's late. I'd advise anyone to buy it a month before hurricane or tornado season. Use it and replace and get at least two tanks. Forget relying on firewood or charcoal. Propane tanks are easy to store and if they get wet your propane is not affected.

All of your recommendations were very, very good ones. I enjoyed watching this and literally agreeing with your choices. I personally collect different camping/backpacking stoves as a decades long hobby. The one addional stove I would suggest is the EVERNEW alcohol burner. Mainly because it does not need a separate pot support to be used. You simply put your pot directly on the top of it because of the double row of flame holes. Of course, a Trangia Stormcooker T27 or T25 is also the more advanced option if a full-on cooking kit is an optional consideration. Again, very good video and your suggestions are definitely spot-on!

Life long user of the butane canister burner. One thing you have to know, butane vaporize at certain temperature, I don't recall the temperature and too lazy to look it up. What usually happens with a new canister is that after awhile, the canister will get too cold to vaporize and you'll get a weak flame. This exacerbate during winter time. I've switched over to dual fuel butane burner. It comes with an adapter for 1lb propane bottle and I've stopped using butane canister altogether. I also purchased a 20lb to 1lb adapter to refuel the 1lb bottles for it. I also own the 1lb top burner with the base attachment as mentioned in the video. It puts out a stronger flame but it's without an igniter so it has sits on the storage. I also own a wood burner from silverfire. As well as table top charcoal grill. If you run out of propane, use the charcoal, when that runs out, gather some fallen dead wood... Have used all three in past to boil, grill, fried...

@bicanoo_magic3452 4 года назад

I love those dual fuel stoves. they are really smart. But in Australia you cannot store LPG/Propane in doors. It's heavier than air and therefore accumulates and ends up as a potential bomb. Butane however is lighter than air and is way hotter. So that would be my preferred fuel. I would only use Propane if nothing else was available. Butane canisters are usually available in any food or camping store and definitely available in the likes of Home Depot, Harbour Freight or Walmart.

Further, there's a big difference between the amount of wood needed (and smoke generated) for fireplaces and full size wood burning stoves. A tiny, by comparison, well burning fire in a tin can stove gives off little smoke. A rocket stove, even less. Do consider adding a wood burning stove to your resources for EMERGENCY use.

For emergency domestic use (where size and weight isn't a concern) I prefer the flat, box type stoves, like the Coleman Instastart one you showed. You can even get a double burner one. They're very stable, have an excellent pan holder (not unlike that on a domestic stove top), and the butane cannisters are cheap (about £1 a piece in a multi-pack), and available pretty much anywhere. I get my cannisters at my local B&M Bargains or Home Bargains.

Another great video! I'm glad that you mentioned price versus quality. You can use the rule of three and have three POS stoves and have all three of them fail on you. I like the old saying, "Buy once, cry once."

My backup stove is a Solo that uses anything combustible. Small twigs, leaves, or a charcoal briquet. No failure possibility except running out of wood and charcoal. Not likely; I have lots. And I live next to a national forest, LOL! When it comes to food, think "warming up a can of something", not cooking raw from scratch. Less fuel wasted, faster, and much, much easier. The longest I had to sit out the loss of power, water, and sewer was 5 days. I have a bedside commode for sewer/water supply loss. I consider that a necessity, too. 😁

I stupidly got rid of a good Colman propane stove in a trade for some ammo. I am going to look into getting another. Good video. It reminded me of my priorities. Thanks.

Happy New Year, Cliff. good to have another vid from you. Still waiting for the color-coding kit. Christmas mail may be the delay plus a border. I suppose a new yr. resolution would be for more patience. Actually I resolve to follow many of the preps you have posted this year (count down happening now) All the best to you & prepper family of The Urban Prepper.

Love my Ozark Trail /Coleman Propain. Dollar Tree & other stores have little cans for cooking (various names) & small tent/camp stove.

Glad you are feeling better. Had similar products already because of camping with Scouts. There is an adapter to refill the small Coleman propane tanks from the larger tanks 20#'s +. Saves pack/troop $$$ refilling after each camp out.

Thanks Kevin. Yeah, I was not doing well for a few weeks there.

Love you vids dude. I use the butane burners every day doing prep work at a restaurant. They are awesome and reliable. I beat them up. The cans do not lay a huge amount of time but the burn hot and fast and light every time.

Thanks a bunch, Tyler! I see those Butane stoves used in restaurants and by chefs all the time. I have a lot of faith in them. :)
