You can buy an adapter (approx. $25) that lets you hook an ordinary
propane tank to your two-burner Coleman stove. That stove isn't
exactly backpacking equipment. There's no excuse to throwing away
those little green tanks.

I'm not sure whether you're suggesting that a propane burner can be
adapted to run off the big tanks, which is a good idea both
economically and ecologically, or that the gasoline burner can be
converted.

Coleman makes adapters (high pressure hoses with big and small ends) for
this and also has a three outlet 'tree' so you can run two stoves and a
lantern off of a bulk tank. The one I used to have was obsoleted when they
changed the connector on the bulk tanks a couple of years ago. I could
screw a propane lantern on top of the tree, and run my stove and portable
grill at the same time.
