can you burn straight propane in this stove, or must it be a mixture

I always just used the canisters from Walmart or any sporting goods store. I think they are a mix.

Technically yes but in practice no. Propane requires a heavier canister that has a different size coupling than the lightweight propane/butane canisters this stove is designed for. So while it can burn propane you will have a hard time finding a canister that fits. Coleman makes a single burner stove that fits their heavy, straight propane canisters, I think.

You need oxygen and a gas that will burn. I use propane.you can buy both at most hardware stores.

Sorry, but I don't know the answer to that. I only bought this stove to use in emergencies after our terrible ice storm in February. I only plan to use the small 1# disposable propane containers. I also bought a propane heater and also plan to use the small propane containers. I did test this stove and the heater, and both started up beautifully. I hope I NEVER have to use either of these products. An ice storm here (South Carolina) is a rare event, but this was a bad one, with power out everywhere, which means: no heat in the house. I never go camping, so I would not be able to answer your question. Sorry.

I believe you can. The only problem, I thought the logs and flames looked bad. I have 2 of the other Franklin looking stoves with much better looking logs, flames, and color. I love the look of the frame, but I am real big on the fire looking as realistic as possible too.

I have a gas stove and it works wonderfully. As long as you have a diffuser, which you must use, then you can use gas or electric. If you do not use the diffuser the tangine will crack.

I would guess I could pre-fill my hobo alcohol stove and drop it in, light with a long match,twig or a spark from a ferro rod,using the stove as a pot stand and windbreak concentrating the heat. I'd be careful not to get burned. Now I'll have to try it.

I don't see why not......it is just a propane gas burner like you would have on a gas stove.

We did it using standard couplings. It wasn't complicated. You can have your local propane company do it.

You can ignite the gas side with the burners but need a starter on the charcoal side. We use those paraffin/sawdust squares or "fat wood".

Buy the right fuel cannister: Coleman Butane / Propane Mix Fuel It screws into the 'stove'. Turn the nob and light it with a flame source. Super easy to use, though you need a flat place to put it on. It works for all size pots, though larger ones can be tricky as it's a very small flame area. I've heard that some cheaper pots will actually burn a bit because of the small flame area. It is very small folded down and unfolding it is as easy as an umbrella.

Yes, you can utilize two burners. We use the large center burner on our stove.

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to u'r question. We don't have that type of stove.

Natural gas is considerably different from the cylinder gas LP or liquid propane. The orifice required for natural gas is much larger as natural gas has a lower BTU rating and requires less oxygen to burn efficiently and cleanly. You can not use propane in an appliance or heater rated for natural gas as the gas oxygen mix will be completely wrong and it will not burn properly and will be dangerous. The poor gas oxygen mix if you were to use propane would cause sooting in your unit and the soot might catch fire and thus could be disastrous! In other words DON"T DO IT! There are units that cost a bit more, in other brands and they are listed as dual-fuel and can be adapted to use either LP (propane) or natural gas and the book tells how to do it precisely.

Anything that runs on propane can be converted, but the hardware could be quite expensive. Make sure that the cost of the burner plus the cost don't exceed something that Amazon already sells that is natural gas ready. Good luck, and be careful.

Yes, you can. I use gas primarily at home, but I have taken it to friends' homes to use on electric. Usually, you will have it going front to back on the stove. On most stoves, this means a higher and a lesser power burner. You will want to take note of how the heat is coming through. For example, I may have my higher heat (larger) burner on medium, and then the lower heat (smaller) burner closer to medium high. That seems to keep the heat even over the whole skillet. The gas burner has not damaged my piece, and I have had it for close to 10 years. It is a great piece, and I hope you enjoy it! Yes, you can.

Actually Butane fuel is the same as the fuel used on the gas stoves especially the portable ones. Its must better than the regular lighters.

No. You must adapt stove to use this line connection. There are some YouTube videos on how and what you need. Remember think safe when working with propane and double check any mods you make.
