Description

At best, not disclosing quite openly the limitations of their product also raises questions about their integrity. We have tested the gas to an evaporation temperature of -5°c and a usage temperature of as low as -20°c. Remember, Coleman claims to have “tested the gas to an evaporation temperature of -5°c and a usage temperature of as low as -20°c. During my camping trip, the gas I was using for my stove only worked long enough to warm a single tin mug to lukewarm.

Propane performs far better in cold temperatures, so if you will be needing to use your gas camping stove anywhere cold, you will need a propane/butane mix. Recently, I went camping out on Dartmoor, and overnight the temperature dropped low enough for my tent to be mostly covered in a 1mm layer of ice by the morning. That was my failing to do even better due diligence when selecting that supplier, and I accepted full responsibility. To be fair, Ed also blamed me, and you implied blame, which raises the question of whether the pair of you works for Coleman in some capacity, and are simply trying to do a not-so-subtle PR exercise to undo brand damage. You would therefore expect Coleman’s Value Gas to have less propane than their Performance Gas, and that their Extreme Gas will have the most propane, right?

Coleman Performance Gas simply didn’t work at lower temperatures, despite being well within the stated usage range. Remember, at summer temperatures, butane is a better fuel than propane, but its performance nosedives as it gets colder.

We are only able to comment on the testing we have done in controlled conditions and hope you have confidence to continue to use Coleman gas in the future.To suggest it’s not compatible as it’s screw on like the majority of lightweight camping stoves is laughable. If Coleman was in any way interested in not damaging their brand name, they shouldn’t have blamed me for their product having failed.

In fact, I’ve camped out in colder temperatures before, and the stove worked fine, also using Performance Gas at the time. I stand by what I said, and wish to highlight this bit: “ We are defined not by our mistakes, but by our responses to the mistakes. If you’re going to use a butane/propane fuel mixture and cold weather you’re going to need an inverted canister stove, or an adapter to convert your stove to an inverted canister stove. Coleman’s product failed me, and I gave them the opportunity to deal with that in a constructive manner.To add insult to injury, when you raise this legitimate concern with Coleman, they immediately blame you. Allow me to tell you about Coleman’s response: they refuse to accept any responsibility, and (excuse the pun) proceeded to gas-light me.

Just because it’s worked for anyone before is irrelevant – the point is you cannot reply on it to work every time, within the stated limitations Coleman claims it will work. Instead of showing the slightest interest into why their product failed, when I contacted them (privately) about this, they simply tried to blame me. The failure of Coleman’s Performance Gas simply meant my camping trip was less enjoyable than I hoped for. My Vango Compact camping stove is rated by Vango as 3000W, and able to boil a litre of water in four minutes.If you read this discussion, you’ll see there are many others, experienced campers too, who also found Coleman’s gas to be unreliable. In simple terms, I was massively within the temperature range they claim that Coleman Performance Gas will reliably work at, yet it failed.

It appears you’re using a stove that screws onto a gas canister with the valve of the gas canister facing up.
