Highlights

Twice the fuel, one canister

450 grams on the same threaded fitting as the small one.

450 g

Roughly double the 230 g canister: a week of cooking for two, or a weekend for a group.

Screw-in thread

Screws directly onto threaded stoves and reseals when you take the stove off.

Fewer changes

One large canister beats two small ones for weight, cost and one less thing to run out of.

Stable base

The wider body sits more securely under a pot than a small canister.

Product description

About this product

The 450 g canister is the one to buy when you have used a few 230s and grown tired of changing them. It is the same threaded fitting, holds roughly twice the fuel, costs less per gram, and its wider base makes a stove screwed on top of it noticeably more stable.

Like all threaded canisters it reseals when the stove is removed, so a part-used one travels and stores safely.

Key Features

450 g butane fuel
Screw-in (threaded) valve
Resealable: can be disconnected part-used
Wider, more stable base under a stove

Before You Buy

Threaded stoves only. Pierceable-canister stoves and flat cassette stoves take different fuel. Bring the stove and we will check the fitting.

What Is Included

1 x 450 g screw-in butane canister

Every kovea screw gas cylinder is checked in store before it leaves us, and our staff use the same kit in the field, so you get an honest answer on fit and sizing rather than a sales pitch.

Questions

Good to know

Is it better value than two 230 g canisters?

Usually yes, per gram of gas, and it is one item rather than two to carry and keep track of. The 230 g wins only when weight in a pack is the deciding factor.

How should I store gas canisters?

Upright, somewhere cool and ventilated, out of direct sun and never in a closed car in Dar heat. A canister in a hot boot is a genuine hazard, not a theoretical one.

Can I fly with them?

No. Gas canisters of any kind are forbidden in both cabin and checked baggage on every airline. Buy them at your destination.

How do I know when one is empty?

Weigh it, or shake it. The stated gas weight is the fuel only; the steel is extra, so an apparently heavy canister may be nearly empty.

Does cold affect performance?

Butane struggles below about 5 C, which almost never matters in Tanzania but does on Kilimanjaro and Meru. Above 3,000 m or in cold nights, an isobutane or propane mix performs far better.

How do I dispose of an empty one?

Empty it completely, puncture it only with a proper tool if you have one, and take it to a metal recycler. Never put a sealed canister in a fire or in general waste.

Can I connect any stove to any canister?

No, and this is where people get hurt. Screw-in (threaded) and puncture (pierceable) and flat cassette canisters are three different systems. Match the canister to the stove, or use the correct adapter.
