The generator problem is why I quit buying Coleman gas-fired products. I got tired of the need to buy a new part for the stove or lantern every year or so. I have a Svea 123 and it never needs any new parts to work like Coleman stoves do.

I do have several Coleman propane fueled items that work without the need to constantly buy parts.

I don’t understand why Coleman has not made gas fueled stoves that work long-term without needing new parts like other stove manufactures are able to do?


To me it makes Coleman stoves the last choice for survival planning. Who wants to have a stove around and not be able to use it when you need it?


I won’t even look at them at a garage sale, even if they were free, I would not take a gasoline fired Coleman stove home.
