As I said in my previous post, I went newfangled instead of vintage, and bought a new Dual-Fuel Coleman. The advantage of having a reserve fuel source was the kicker. The stove I recently bought is also Dual-Fuel. I went to Cabela's to examine the one like PubUltraStar bought, and also the Northstar with pushbutton start. I decided on the Northstar for four reasons: (1) instant start (for my wife's benefit, though I made sure that it could also be lit with a match), (2) protective wire cage around the globe (I broke two globes on my original lantern, back in the 60's), (3) the price of $90 on sale (25% off normal), and (4) it is Coleman green.
