I've owned an used a white gas Coleman stove for many many years. A few years back - when my son was in Cub Scouts - the other adults proclaimed the advantages of the propane version that I finally caved in a bought one. I used it. I tried to like it. I really did! But I just can't seem to control the flame on the propane version nearly as well as I can on the Coleman fuel version.

Though the Scouts continue to use propane, I'll stick with the Coleman fuel.
