Ditto to comments about the olde tyme white gas Coleman stoves.
My 30 year old one works like a champ. I bought a propane adapter for it, but it produces less heat than the fuel counterpart so i never really use it, but have it just in case.
My brother has a white gas version stove that he bought in the late 60's and it works as it did on day one. It looks well worn from use but performs like new.
Same holds true for the Coleman lanterns. Only thing needed on those is replacement mantles ever couple of years.
Don't know about the quality of the current Coleman white gas stoves, but if they are available then my opinion is to go with tried-and-true stuff with a track record.
On Edit:
I see they still make WHITE GAS STOVES, but I see they are SIGNIFICANTLY higher in price!!:E
I think I paid about $30 for mine back in the day.
