Crown vs Coleman

Postby aunt betty » Thu Aug 31, 2017 10:11 am

Willing to bet at least one or two of you use a Coleman lantern. Maybe a catalytic heater that runs on camp fuel?
I have both. Have a pump-up coleman stove too. (duel fuel)
'member when it was like 2 or 3 bucks for a gallon of camp fuel?

It's close to $13 for a can of Coleman fuel and is only around $7.50 for Crown Camp Fuel. It's the same thing but around 5 bucks a can less. First time I saw Crown Fuel was down in Arkansas. Spotted it at the local store here in Champaign yesterday. SWEET!
It just got a little cheaper to heat the duck blind.

I've got a little heater that runs on denatured alcohol too.

May as well cover the propane thing too. I've tried them all and compared. Propane makes water vapor when you burn it so it's not the best choice for heating a camper or tent. The alcohol stove makes no water so it super dry. Same with the catalytic ones that run on camp fuel.

Been getting the blind ready and I just got a feeling heat is going to be an issue this year. (I hope)
Cold and icy means the big ducks get here sooner and stay a bit longer.

Tomorrow is goose season. The ninth is teal opener.
No heater required until November or so. Just stocking up.

Good info AB!
The big price differential in the two brands reminds me of the razor blade market now............which has Gillette dropping their prices like they are trying to save us money now that they've been exposed...........after gouging us for years. Hope Coleman gets the hint!

Been using Crown for years, though, barring power outages, mostly in Zippo hand warmers.

All the brands we know and grew up with have been bastardized.

For instance----> 斯坦利帮助你做正确的事情 <----- Stanley helps you do things right. 8-)
