Hooking up my Gas Colman Camp Stove. I decided to use a 20 pound propane tank rather than the little disposable ones. This way the tank itself can be outside of the cabin which I think is much safer. I was amazed at how much heat it produces,it boiled water in no time. I also used my Colman oven to bake some muffins.

Hallo
I just watched the two videos you have uploaded with the muffin
baking adventures.
Your oven remind me
of a small money safe. :)
looking at it feels like something very heavy.
When you have opened it i realise how light it can be.
At the second video you have uploaded and i already seen it
on your channel,you mention the strength of the gas cooker.
It is true something is going on there. Even in the video it sounds very noisy.
I am not an expert on gas bottles but from what i seen is very much the same as mine.
At the part of the hose where it connects to the bottle there is one little something
(here is of a round shape made of brass )which is used to regulate the flow of gas.
Once is regulated then stays the same for ever. I just looked mine and there is attached (to that brass something) a plastic item which is looking like a big cross shape screw. It is from there you should regulate it.
Maybe there in Canada things work differently. But according to my opinion needs a regulation so the fire to run smoothly.
Maybe you can ask the providers.
The Canadian toaster is a darling.
I have never seen it before but i loved it.
Happy baking
and
have a lovely weekend

Thanks Ion. There isn't anyway to adjust the flow with this tank but there is a regulator between the gas line and the stove where the gas line connects to the stove. It is a sealed unit so it can't be tampered with. I think the stove is operating the way it is supposed to. The instructions with the toaster say to use it with the burner turned up on high. What amazes me is that the little stove produces so much more heat than my large stove in the kitchen does.
Hi again.
I made a little researches on gas bottles regulators as is not so easy for me to explain.
Of course if you are happy with the amount of heat your stove produces then please accept my apologies for interfering.
i have found a picture how it looks
the gas regulator over here.

hope you be able to see it.
This is blue in colour but is the same as mine which is just made of brass. the regulator is located where the black plastic top is.
this youtube video is explaining
how it works.
Around 5:12 he is explaining what i am talking about.

Hope I've helped.
Enjoy!!!

Thank you yes I see what you mean but the regulator in this case isn't out at the tank it is attached to the little stove and is a sealed unit so it can't be adjusted, I suppose for safety reasons.
So
you got a nice strong gas cooker.
maybe ideal for wok stir fries :)
