I have used a Coleman "white Gas" stove for about 15 years now, and I don't
even look like Firemarshal Bill. Just use a little common sense. They are
less convinent than propane because you have to pump the tank. I have a
freind who ran his on unleaded gas station gas and it didn't work as well
as the coleman stuff. I didn't think that saving about $100 per weedend was
worth it.
I know someone else who uses the propane set w/ a big refillable tank and even
a lantern that is tied into the system, but it set him back about $100 and
IMHO it is a pain the butt to haul it around.
If you are useing the little propane trhow aways the, the white gas stoves are much more economical. As far as running them on gas station unleaded is neat
in a pinch but the Colman white gas would probably burn a little cleaner.
