burton propane stove

The Burton uses Butane not Propane. I have used one for years. They work very well. The Butane last for many uses. The T/A and Academy Sports and Outdoors carry the butane. Some Ace Hardware stores have in the past. T/A is about the cheapest place to buy the stove also. A truckstop cheaper believe it or not. I just bought a new one 2 months ago $35.00 at T/A Stoney Ridge, Ohio.

 

The $25 rig at WalMarts works real good,the 2/$5 gas cans are a sweet deal as well
Max Burton peddles a ton of crap these days,be fore warned

 

I am more familiar with the propane stoves-- the little quart green bottles kind. I have a single burner stove that I used to carry in my pickup for cooking my breakfast occasionally on the job (construction). I used a 10 inch cast iron skillet to cook up a few slices of bacon right on the tailgate lol all my coworkers walking by drooling. Put the finished bacon on some papertowels and fold. Crack 4 eggs into skillet using the bacon grease. Scramble, add sliced and diced tomatoes and onion. Put in leftover mashed or fried potatoes that I packed in ice cooler from fridge to warm up as eggs are almost done. Put bacon back in skillet to rewarm it as eggs are almost done. Sprinkle grated cheese from ice cooler over eggs. Douse the skillet liberally with pepper and Tapatio hot sauce. Use a rag to carry skillet into office and eat a fresh hot homecooked breakfast in front of everyone and listen to the rumbling bellies. I would just wipe out the skillet with a paper towel and put a new towel in the skillet and put on the floorboard of the back seat area and it would be ready for the next cookout.

I have a propane torch as well, it screws right onto those little bottles. It works great for starting campfire and homefires.. Where I live we're only allowed to have fire in the fireplace a few days a year. But if you can get it burning hot enough quick enough the smoke is quite clear so very little evidence other than that sweet woodburning smell. So I would sort of pyramid the wood in the chimney standing up leaning against the back wall and light it with the torch for a few minutes and have a blazing fire. I loved it on the weekends, I would get up about 3 am on Saturday morning and start the fire and keep it burning til I went to work on Monday morning. That mantel was probably 600 degrees I'm guessing.Also nice during the week as the sun goes down earlier, (so less chance of neighbors tattling) and with the torch a tired guy can have a quick homefire every night very quickly for his wife and glass of red wine for her when she walks through the door.

 

What I want to know is it safe to use in the truck with the windows up? Or do you have to vent it some how.

 

Nope not safe at all.. If I remember right you can't use it in the cab due to regulations. Especially if you are hauling HazMat.

 

I use a colman single burner to brew my own coffee in the truck in the morning (i like the smell), and at night I will cook a pork chop or a piece of chicken (I have both a small sauce pan and a small skillet as well as a camping coffee pot). I also like to cook some soup and warm up lunch meat for a warm sandwitch.

 

Yes you can use them in your truck but you need to open the windows so you don't die of carbon monoxide poisening...

If you are a company driver check your companies policies about stoves......

I run for a large mega-carrier.... even having a stove or flammable liguid container in the outside chain box is a termination offence.......

Had a good friend get fired when the mechanics noticed his Burton butane stove in the chain box...

Check your company policy......!!!!!
