I have a Coleman stove that I made a multi-fuel.

I normally burn propane in it with my optional addition.
I have the 'white' gas or Coleman fuel (white gas) tank as well.
Common non-lead is white gas. The additives is what I try to
avoid by using store cans and propane.

Smart man! I wish more of these folks had that much of a grip.
Without power, I couldn't cook (electric stove), so why get the
eggs and milk out?
Stuck to granola and jougurht. SOP for years now.
you ...you...you dont have a Coleman stove or equivelant????
Oh, well, I had one of those. If I had really wanted to cook, I
could have. But mostly, I just fired up the propane barby, and either
did burgers, or chicken, or lambchops. (I still had some corn on the
cob in the freezer, wrap in tin foil with some salt & pepper, butter,
next to the chops ... yum. I think the last two cobs are probably
squirrel food after five years in the freezer.) For supper, that was
standard. Breakfast is usually granola, unless it is a weekend,when I
make Brunch.
Blink blink...blink....Really?

Even when one can pick one up a the second hand stores for $9 in perfect
running condition?????
I think there's two in the shed ... one is in The Kitchen Box, and
the other is 'somewhere' in a bin.
Thats really good planning. And the last time they were fired up to
check the generator and the pumps was when?

Chuckle....and how much fuel do you have? Shelf life of Coleman fuel
(and its clones) is in generations...it simply doesnt go bad. Ive got a
half gallon can that is at least..at least....30 yrs old. Still works
fine.

A gallon of fuel at Wally world is bout $5-8 dollars and will run a
stove for at least a month, cooking 2 times a day.
Up till last summer, those stoves were in storage, with most
everything else. And for most of the years before then, I lived in the
city. The one is propane, and I've the adaptors for the bulk tanks.
I need to find the other one and check it out.
My big "score" was two (more) Son Of Hibachis. Their claim to
fame is the ease with which they can get the charcoal going. I've
even gotten charcoal that had been out in the garage over the winter
(and was thus a bit damp) to light off. And they work real well as
braziers for heating a space.

But I need to get on the preparations.

Indeed. And bear in mind..that hibachis are the MOST CO malignant
devices ever developed by man, including the Edsel.

They put out a deadly deadly cloud of the stuff..so ALWAYS cook outdoors
with them. Even in the snow.

Shrug

As for propane vrs liquid fuel stoves and lanterns...a propane device is
limited to whatever you have in the tank.

A liquid fuel device is limited to whatever you can syphon out of a gas
tank after your proper liquid fuel is gone.

Something to consider...shrug
