Does anyone know of a store that sells the Coleman PowerMax Fuel? I did not realize it was this hard to find.

That's why I sold my 2 burner Coleman Xpedition stove. I really like it except for the fuel availability problem where I live.

Because I'm wearing one and I just did....

I went to the Gander Mountain near me. They did not have any in stock and were not expecting any. I have the coleman 2 burner and love it as long as I can get fuel. I did check in at Voyager North where we will be outfitted and they do sell it, so all is well but still I would like to be able to find it regularly. I also believe there may be a converter available to make fuel more accessible does anyone know anything about it?

Powermax Fuel Adapter. When Coleman manufacturers it for their own product, that's got to say something. I don't know what the real story is but most everyone that owns a stove likes it a lot, yet the fuel is so difficult to find.

You can get it at Campmor, too, for $20.

I have had the same problem finding fuel for my two burner stove. I found fuel cannisters at our local Bass Pro shop. The stove works great for our griddle

I guess we get spoiled in the Twin Cities, with all the availability of all the fuel types. i have looked at the adapter, let us know how it works for you.

I wish they would have had an adapter for it when I still had mine. They are nice stoves.

Purchased some at both our REI store and Cabela's. So while the fuel has become easier for us to find, the store I bought the stove at does not carry it - go figure.

I had a hard time finding some also. VNO said they had some in stock when we go up there on Sunday.

Joy is a great teacher, but so is dispair. Wonder is a great teacher, but so is confusion. Hope is a great teacher, but so is disillusionment. And life is a great teacher, but so is death. To deny yourself any of those in any aspect is not experiencing life totally.
