Enjoyed your review. Have used all backpacking stoves mentioned except jetboil. I am kind of a collector but haven’t gotten around to that one yet.
My favorite stove however is my almost 40 year old SVEA with the original Sigg Tourist cook kit. That thing is a workhorse and has been the most reliable piece of equipment I own.

Thanks for the article!!

These devices are not advised and are no longer available thought the CO2 cartridges are. They have been known to bulge out lantern tanks especially if you use the ones designed for CO2 bb and pellet guns. If you really want to bypass the built in pump there are fuel caps available with a Schrader valve built in so you can use a Bicycle pump. These are sometimes available in stores that cater to the Amish….

I have a two burner stove and have the attachment that pressurizes the fuel tank with a co2 cartridge and would like to see if these are still available anywhere?
Thanks

Actually you can bypass pumping entirely on liquid fuel stoves I have some gadgets which replace the fill cap on the tank and you use a CO2 cartridge to pressurize the tank. A cartridge is supposed to last a full tank on either a stove or a lantern.

The Coleman 425 stoves are definitely built to last, Jeremy – good luck with the whole girl-thing
