i found a decent, fairly clean coleman camp stove at a thrift shop. they want $25 bucks. i dont know the vintage, but it is old looking, and the tank is red. looked like there was a mild grease fire because there is a black sooty swath running up one side.

would you buy the used one? or just pony up for a new dual fuel? my lantern is dual fuel, so it makes perfect sense to own a stove that uses the same fuel. are the old stoves strictly white gas? i assume they are rebuildable?

i have a propane stove..and with a hose adapter i run a 20lbs bottle.

i am thinking earthquake prepardness as well as camping trips. any advice?
