This morning I placed a bid on what I hope will be my old stoves replacement. It's a model 425F built in 1979 with its original box. It's in excellent condition.
I still have means of meal prep with my LP kitchen range, grill, and portable military surplus alcohol stove, but I find Coleman stoves hard to beat. As it stands there is a hole in my preps that needs to be filled.
I've left a message for the other bidder.....he or she better heed my warning. I want that stove.
Stephen
Good luck, Stephen. I hope you get the stove.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rev., me too.
DeleteGood luck on the stove.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keads.
DeleteUsed to have one like that but a tornado killed it. They are great stoves and they don't make em like that anymore
ReplyDeleteThey certainly do not...then again, what is in this country. Now I'm sure they're made in China. Thanks, Corey.
DeleteYeah, these are great stoves, and like you I prefer the white gas to the propane. I did a comparison between the two types on one of my trips. White gas fuel rocks.
ReplyDeleteI've used one since the early 60's. My father since the 40's...kind of a family stove I suppose. After the older ones are gone we'll be stuck with propane. Thanks, K.
DeleteMy hubby and I have 2 of these and they are great! I hope you get the one on E-bay!
ReplyDeleteI do too, sweet lady. If you have two you're rich...keep them in good shape. Put a drop of oil down the piston every now and then to keep the leather in good shape. Thanks.
DeleteWe had a stove exactly like that one. Probably 1971 vintage. Sure brings back memories.
ReplyDeleteMy old one was an early 70's vintage stove...and hopefully my friend can bring it back to life. Thanks, my friend.
Deletedarn it....no stove for me.....lol....I could bankrupt myself on ebay.
ReplyDeleteAh, it isn't that bad...go ahead, you need one. The power will not stay on forever my friend.
Deletecrossing fingers and pray that you get the stove. i like the rule of sixes myself - bahahahahah! no really - i do!
ReplyDeleteyour friend,
kymber
Good rule, kymber...takes lots of space but I had to come up short on any survival item. Thanks, my dear. How's the cat?
Deleteme, too Stephen, me too! the new little guy is settling in just fine...thanks for asking buddy! fingers are still crossed for the stove win, my dearest!
Deleteyour friend,
kymber
Thanks, dear one...it's mine they just don't know it yet.
DeleteI've one I got from my dad. Not sure how old it is, but it's at least 50 years old. Still using it.
ReplyDeleteIf it has a copper tank it's old. Many have the date stamped on the back...check it out. Thanks, my friend.
DeleteI just bid a hundred bucks and wait. When I want something bad enough the other guy will pay dearly to beat me. Thanks, my friend.
ReplyDeleteGood luck Stephen, I hope you get the closing bid!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sandy.
DeleteIf you don't get the bid I would be willing to ship you one of mine. I have an extra two burner, mint.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bubba, but there are plenty listed. I'll get one, one way or the other...take care, my friend.
DeleteI thought that was you bidding against me on that stove.
ReplyDeleteBack off...it's mine. Thanks, my friend.
