Cooking with: Coleman Fuel (White Gas)

Post by Readymom »

Coleman fuel (white gas)
When used with a Coleman stove this another excellent and convenient fuel for cooking. It is not as portable nor as lightweight as Sterno, but produces a much greater BTU value. Like Sterno, Coleman fuel has a tendency to evaporate even when the container is tightly sealed so it is not a good fuel for long-term storage. Unlike Sterno, however, it is highly volatile; it will explode under the right conditions and should therefore never be stored in the home. Because of its highly flammable nature great care should always be exercised when lighting stoves and lanterns that use Coleman fuel. Many serious burns have been caused by carelessness with this product. Always store Coleman fuel in the garage or shed, out of doors.

DO NOT USE gasoline in a coleman stove unless you have run out of alternatives. The stuff in gas is a major health hazard benzene, MTBE etc. and the fumes are poisonous. If you must, cover your cooking pots with a lid and wash everything well afterwards.
