Possibly The Ugliest Camp Stove In The Known Universe


This Canadian Tire propane camp stove dates from the early 1960s, as far as I know.




I don't think it ever saw much campsite use; I recall it being the first stove we had in the kitchen of the Haliburton cottage my dad acquired when I was a boy.

The stove is as tall as it is because of the way the propane bottles reside in it.


That arrangement has the dubious virtue of making the stove as bulky as possible.

The air/fuel mixture is not factory calibrated -- the user has to adjust it by turning a split, knurled brass ring-nut on the fuel supply tube.


The stove does work.


But I think I'd prefer my old liquid-fueled Coleman stove any day.

I'm not sure what to do with it. My son has tried to unload it at a garage sale, with no takers.

I may salvage the brass fuel supply parts, and scrap the rest.
