When you get it new, the pump isn't lubricated. Make sure you lubricate it first with some oil or silicon grease. Put some silicon grease on the rubber in the fuel cap as well.
👍 ^ this! I used silicone grease, liberal amounts and it is now butter smooth and pumps up to pressure quickly. I also greased the fuel cap seal, threads
Don't pump it legs open. The high downwards force creates too much moment at the leg's joints and on the tank around their attachments. This may bend them since the tank material is not stiff enough to resist that force. Mine has started to lean sideways like Pisa Tower. I have cold set it to bring its original leveling. Nowadays I first close the legs then I start pumping. I open them after.
This is neat I have a Coleman some what like this I got from my great grandfather who passed away in 81 I believe it was made for the military in ww1 not sure. It still works and has all the parts
I just ordered one yesterday. Going by the looks of things in the world these days, I'm going to need it. Was going to go for gas heater but decided liquid fuel might be easier to obtain when the power cuts start.
Awesome job doing a video on this. I think in the UK this is sold as the "DECHO-C Portable Mini Liquid Fuel Camping Gasoline Stoves". I cant say that for sure, but it looks identical. Im tempted to get one of these because of the impending fuel crisis. I also like the way its designed, because everything that is weak and fragile can be repaired easily, and all the critical components look like brass, or well engineered. As the Russians say about washing machines "Of course it is a good washing machine! Its easy to repair!" (true story)
* Important * Mine just arrived and I serviced it. Wonderful piece of kit. Be warned however, it didnt really get the full "fit and finish" part done. There were metal finings in the gas tank, and brown "sludge" in the pump tube. Its worth shaking it gently to see if you can hear the sound of metal dust rattling in the tank. If you can, then undo the fuel cap, invert it, and gently and patiently shake all the metal dust out of the hole. I also wiped the worst of the gunk out of the pump tube. Its probably a mixture of iron oxide and grease, but frankly, less is more when it comes to lubricating a part like that. I dont know how the internals work but my main concern was the metal dust getting trapped in the fuel line so that is definitely worth checking. That said, great kit considering its a fraction of the price of a brand version and probably comes from the same factory
@@TheWtfnonamez ~ I have one of those coming. Thanks to you I will be checking for the metal fines and will solvent wash and blow the lines before first start up. I will also be Silicone lubing the pump and cap rubber. 🙂
@@nunyabizness199 nope, mine didn’t come with anything, not even the case, that being said Coleman’s reputation on these kinds of stoves is outstanding, and replacement parts are always available.

It’s odd that they copied both. Coleman has been hard to beat. Not the best for backpacking weight but they work. Optimus or MSR seem easier to pack with a separate tank for me.
Wow! I moved into the ultralight stoves long ago and have never looked back.

Nice review. I watched the video several times and finally settled on the BRS-29B. These gasoline stoves are loud compared to the isobutane stoves. I am not sure what the difference is between the BRS 12 and the BRS-29B. The BRS-29B is green, comes with a hard and soft case, and the same tools. The cost with the hard case can be 10-30 dollars more. I am enjoying cooking with it.
Nice stove. I have a couple of M1950 Army stoves that run white gas or regular. Kerosene and white gas are expensive up here in Canada. If I was in the market I sure would be looking at this one. Gasoline stoves will run pretty good in the cold, which is good up here in Canada. I just picked up a 2 burner 1970 Coleman stove for free on Saturday. Thank you for the video
not tried it yet planning a ebike adventure with a trailer on the back just waiting for my miss bike to come and for the restrictions to be relaxed got alot of stuff to take planning on a few weeks
thos could work in an ice shack when ice fishing--with ventilation of course, if I had this I wold have it as an emergency stove for power outages to cook on my deck
I think this could work anywhere mate. I would just exercise caution about using it on a desk. It is apparently rated at about 2kilowatts of heat output. Thats basically the BTUs of a decent ceramic space heater condensed into the size of a pocket watch. I wouldnt want anything combustible above, below or beside it, and you totally want good ventilation. At the pre-burn stage they burn dirty. Good luck ice fishing mate.
Looks like someone took a Coleman Peak 1 and finished it using MSR Dragonfly parts. Loud like a Dragonfly,too. Might be a good replacement stove for my XG-K.
Nice review. It looks like they combined the design of the coleman canada 505 (eventually to become peak 400) with a burner from an msr dragonfly. Personally Id just take a copy of the 505 if I could get one.
Will this burn truck diesel ? Amazon 🇨🇦advertises this stove as being able to burn gasoline, naptha, kerosene , and DIESEL - yet I’ve never seen any mention or videos of it using diesel ??????
Hello, I have something similar, but it came with 3 nozzles for different fuels. Do you need to swap out nozzles for different types of fuel on this one? Thank you for the informative video.
I was looking at the top of the burner it looks like my Optimus 8r yours looks like a little cup on the flame spreader could you use a cotton ball with Vaseline to heat up the generator instead of pumping up the stove
I tried to get mine to run on diesel with no success. I actually got it to light(after going through the priming process) and it ran well for about 2 minutes. Then it started sputtering and smoking. I tried adjusting the fuel valve, first closing it a little and then opening it a little but still couldn’t get it to run smoothly. Then I tried pumping it up a little more, again with no success. After a few minutes it was out. I could easily relight it and repeat the process but I never got it to run for more than a couple minutes on diesel.
Certainly a knock off / or inspired by a couple of popular stoves .. but I like the pricing. The coleman feather I have cost way too much for what it can do.
Just a question when you first light it to prime the incinerator wouldn't it heat up quicker if you put the pan of water on the stove straight away as the flame would be reflecting off the pan back on to the incinerator thus heating it up quicker
I would like to see you light it with kerosene. Unlike white gas, kerosene does not light easily and I wonder how you would prime it? Great video and thank you in advance!
When i run mine on kerosene only, i make sure to get the wick all soaked. I turn it 45° to the side and open the valve so it flows to the wick. Then just light it. Works fine. I prime it for about a minute then it's good to go. It soots some during the process, but no big deal. I never use any other fuel for priming than the one i have in the tank. I've tried a lot of different fuels....white gas, white spirit, kerosene, bio-diesel, BBQ ignition fluid, lamp oil, alkylate gasoline....also mixing them...and i prefer the mix white gas/kerosene 50/50. Doesn't need as much priming as plain kerosene, burns hotter than plain white gas. I bet it could run on cooking/deepfry oil aswell! Love this little stove! 👌😃
Do you think this stove would fit in a plastic coffee container? I have one on order and I am looking forward to using it but would like a hard case for it. Thanks for the video, I always enjoy them.
Hi there ! Thanks for this review. It is really helpful as i'm about to buy this model but still would be glad to know your opinion on brs 12 vs brs 8 ?
Has anyone got this thing to run on diesel? I tried about 15-20 times over the course of two days and couldn’t get it to run for more than 2 minutes. I would prime it and then slowly open the fuel valve and it would start to run as designed. Then after a minute or two it would start to sputter. I tried opening and closing the fuel valve a little trying to get the proper amount of fuel flow but it still sputtered and smoked. Then I tried pumping it up a little more but that didn’t work either. Then after a few minutes it went out. I was able to relight it immediately but the same thing happened. It wouldn’t run for more than a couple minutes. After 15-20 attempts I figured this thing just wasn’t going to run properly. (Afterwards, I tried it with Coleman camp fuel and it ran like a champ).
Some soot but not much, when I am done and the stove has cooled off some I just open the tank to let the pressure out, a slight turn will do the trick.
No soot if you preheat it with a lighter fluid, hexane or ethanol. Ethanol is harder to see in daylight so I'm using hexane (1ml is more than enough). As it heats up I operate the stove with unleaded gasoline. Don't forget to extinguish the flame when you want to turn it off, before it turns yellow.

This arguably takes up as much space and weight as the stove you stated. Except this one feels more compact and integrated. At least more stable standing. I don't get why the other stove needs to be seperate. But hey, that's just me. I'm not much of an expert, but I did my research and people seem to really like this stove.
Yes on AliExpress. I bought rubber cups for the inner pump rod (My advice is to grease it a bit so friction doesn't wear it out). Other parts available you just have to search.

I don’t see why not. It might require refilling, depending on the amount of fish you fry.
A 2 qt. Cast iron, dutch oven, would be kinda top heavy, and might fall off. But yes, it would work.

Can i use ethanol as fuel?
No
yes, if you change default #33 size nozzle to something #50, it works perfect with 96% bietanol for me.
Half the price of a MSR multi fuel stove, if size and weight aren’t an issue. Bargain for a stove that will work at any altitude or temperature.
