just bought a Coleman low-pressure gas stove. no need for spare jets (because it aint got any!) but was wondering what other spares are logical for these types of stoves? eg: do the regulators get clogged/break?

I just carry a few spare knobs in case they break.

Nothing else.

Drew

we had a prob with ours last year up the Cape. Apparently the regulator contains a very fine gauze which becane clogged. The story goes that Aus gas is not very clean ??
Anyway the solution was for the regulator to be sent off and the offending gauze removed.
Something you may wish to consider as a proactive step .. big mobs cheaper than a replacement regulator with the same issue.

I'll go along with Nebster,

Matches, or an ignition wand.

My electronic ignition model has recently stopped igniting the burners.
I can see the spark, but it just won't ignite.

Can't be buggered frigging around with it, just keep the old trusty "magic wand" handy.

I've got a Coleman two burner that I've had for about 11 years and I've had no problems with it at all. Lights first time, every time and cooks food better than the household stove.

Echo Emo. Had one 10 years, never a problem. But spares are always insurance aren't they.

Friend has one. They work well but his regulator gave up the ghost. He bought another although it may have been the aforementioned 'gauze problem'. The petrol one's worth considering. Cheap to run and can fill up at any petrol station. And don't have to carry gas cylinders around that run out in the middle of dinner.
