The Caloric Corporation, Topton, Pennsylvania, made this Model U1 Cub portable ultra-ray broiler. The door is removed to show the broiler in the right image and the top features a single burner. A wire loop holds the propane cylinder erect along the back of the unit. This broiler/stove is in Brien Page’s collection.

Camping Gaz International manufactured the S 200 stove to utilise their canister C 206. The stove was popular during the seventies and eighties and was a successor to the earlier Super Bleuet stove.

Camping Gaz International manufactured this lantern, model Lampe Tempete. The ‘storm lamp’ used a pierceable gas cartridge, C 206, containing a mix of butane and propane.

A French company, Camping Gaz International, made this Model PZ 206 butane fueled lantern. It includes a Piezo lighting system. The literature that came with the lantern is dated May, 1987. The gas cylinder fits inside the blue base and is punctured to start the flow of fuel into the lantern. The fuel canisters are no longer available except as new-old- stock. This lantern is in Dana and Suzanne Kennison’s collection.

The Camping Gaz company made this Bleuet 270 Micro stove. The stove operates on a CV270 series canister of a butane / propane mixture. The Easy Clic Plus valve system allowed the stove to be clicked onto the gas canister and later detached for travel. However, the canisters were proprietary and not interchangeable with the other canister brands using a screw on design. The stove was considered better for car camping and was not particularly light.

Century Tool & Mfg. Co., Cherry Valley, Illinois, made this Century-Primus Model 5000-A propane lantern, apparently under license from Primus. The propane cylinder is also branded with the company name. This lantern is in Dana Kennison’s collection.


Century Tool also made this two mantle propane lantern for Winnebago Industries that sold it as their Model 18200 Wagon Master Lantern. The lantern includes a flint igniter (lower image) and partially frosted globe (upper image). This lantern is in Doug Dwyer’s collection.



Clayton & Lambert Mfg. Co., Buckner, Kentucky, made this single burner Model LP 371 “Portable Propane Gas Stove.” The model number only appears on the box that the stove came in. The stove legs and fuel cylinder support fold under the stove when not in use (lower image). This stove is in Marty Edwards’ collection.

Clayton & Lambert also made this two burner “Portable Propane Gas Stove.” Each burner is supplied by its own propane tank. This stove is in Brian Bleakney’s collection and includes the original grate (Heidelmark). The windscreens on this stove and the one above are notched along the bottom edge to be held in position by the grate wires.

Clayton & Lambert also made this radiant heater. The wire guard over the heat reflector is missing. A lantern badged for Clayton and Lambert, see below, uses the same base and propane cylinder holder. This heater is in Marty Edwards’ collection.

This propane lantern may also have been made by Clayton & Lambert or it may have been made by Goss Gas Inc. based on similarities of the valve to those on Goss models. There are relatively few propane appliances where the propane cylinder is behind the light. This lantern is in Brien Page’s collection.


This Sur-vivere 2000 LP lantern-stove appliance was manufactured by Clear Air Inc, an Ogden, Utah company. Unlike the earlier version made by Action Technology Inc., this version lacked a water heater and only includes a lantern and stove (upper image). Like the earlier version, this appliance uses heat from the two lantern mantles to heat the stove rack above. The appliance holds a 16 oz propane tank and includes an integral igniter (lower image). This unfired appliance is in Russ Slivinski’s collection.

Companion Heater Pty Ltd made this Companion heater, model 226 in 1975. It was widely sold in Australia.
