230 g

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

Screw-in thread

Screws directly onto threaded stoves with no adapter and no piercing.

Resealable

Unscrew the stove and the valve closes, so a part-used canister travels safely.

Pack friendly

Small enough to sit inside most pots for transport.

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.

Key Features

230 g butane fuel
Screw-in (threaded) valve
Resealable: can be disconnected part-used
Suits backpacking and lightweight stoves

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.

Every butane gas canister screw 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

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.
