The standard small canister: enough for a weekend of two-person cooking.

Product description

About this product

The threaded 230 g canister is the backbone of lightweight camping. The stove screws directly onto the valve, and unscrewing it reseals the canister, so unlike a pierceable canister you can use part of one, put it away, and come back to it.

Two hundred and thirty grams is the size most people carry: enough for a weekend of cooking for two, and small enough to pack inside a pot.

Before You Buy

This fits threaded stoves only. If your stove takes a pierceable canister or a flat cassette, this is the wrong fuel. Bring the stove and we will check.

Questions

Good to know

How long will 230 g last?

Roughly an hour of continuous full-power burning, which in practice is a weekend of boiling water and cooking for two people. Cooking on a lower flame stretches it considerably.

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.
