A trick I used in the military to start the coleman stove was to preheat the generator tube using a trigger type propane torch. You ran the flame onto the tube for about 10 or 15 seconds, and then turned on the fuel. You immediately had the clean blue flame rather than playing with raw fuel.

The only place this would not work was in the arctic, as the propane would not work below 30°C.
