Fat Old Guy 11 Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 I was at Target again today (sometimes I think that my wife owns the place) and they had single mantle propane lanterns on clearance for about $5. I didn't buy a lantern but I did get a toaster for a propane stove for 99 cents. Link to post Share on other sites
evmori 11 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Ya otta pick up one of the Coleman Drip Coffee makers for propane stoves! Costco had them! They are fantastic! Ed Mori 1 Peter 4:10 Link to post Share on other sites
nldscout 18 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Drip coffee makers while camping? Camp coffee is supposed to be strong, and crunchy from the grounds. This takes all the fun out of it. Link to post Share on other sites
Fat Old Guy 11 Posted January 26, 2004 Author Share Posted January 26, 2004 Drip coffee? I might as well have one of those "Coffee presses" loved by the Starbucks crowd. I like my beat up percolator. Link to post Share on other sites
evmori 11 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Yep. Drip coffee! No chunks or hunks you don't want! Excellent! Link to post Share on other sites
nldscout 18 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 I looked at one of them. The thing I didn't like was after brewing you have to take off the heat. So coffee can't sit and steep till its properly bitter. Link to post Share on other sites
evmori 11 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Therin lies the talent! Low flame for warming. Never bitter only better! Link to post Share on other sites
EagleInKY 14 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Just be careful. If you have it too hot, the heat will melt the plastic. I had to surgically separate the basket from frame the first time we took one with us. We've now got the proper heating down to a science. And, we bought a backup just in case!!!

Eamonn 61 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I never thought of myself as part of the Starbucks crowd (The nearest one is about 50 miles away.) But I always take my French Coffee press to camp. Has anyone bought the new instant hot water heater that Coleman has? Eamonn Link to post Share on other sites
OldGreyEagle 5 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I heard next year Coleman is supposed to come out with a propane powered microwave oven Link to post Share on other sites
evmori 11 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 We made a propane powered light as a gag last year at camp! Had everyone going! Ed Mori 1 Peter 4:10 Link to post Share on other sites
hops_scout 9 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I dont have an inexpensive lantern, but I do have an inexpensive single burner stove from Wally World Link to post Share on other sites
Fat Old Guy 11 Posted January 27, 2004 Author Share Posted January 27, 2004 "Has anyone bought the new instant hot water heater that Coleman has?" Instant? Just add water? BTW, you guys and your color choices are getting bothersome. Link to post Share on other sites
hops_scout 9 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Yeah, so?? Link to post Share on other sites
AK-Eagle 19 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I got one of those lexan coffee presses from Campmor... Even have some the scouts that want coffee (with parents nod) trained in it's proper use.... nothing like getting a fresh hot cup of coffee delivered to your tent first thing in the morning. Through experimentation I figured out that I can stuff the premeasured ziploc bags of coffee into the press and save space in the backpack. AK-Eagle Link to post Share on other sites
