To be fair, Ed also blamed me, and you implied blame, which raises the question of whether the pair of you works for Coleman in some capacity, and are simply trying to do a not-so-subtle PR exercise to undo brand damage.

That was my failing to do even better due diligence when selecting that supplier, and I accepted full responsibility. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Anyone who is happy to go cold-weather camping with known-to-be unreliable critical kit needs to give their head a wobble. Allow me to tell you about Coleman’s response: they refuse to accept any responsibility, and (excuse the pun) proceeded to gas-light me. Coleman Performance Gas simply didn’t work at lower temperatures, despite being well within the stated usage range.The C500 is not suitable and cannot be used with Campingaz products which use the Easy Clic Plus system. We offer a complete and comprehensive selection of top brands and the best outdoor equipment available. You would therefore expect Coleman’s Value Gas to have less propane than their Performance Gas, and that their Extreme Gas will have the most propane, right? To suggest it’s not compatible as it’s screw on like the majority of lightweight camping stoves is laughable. Its self-sealing valve prevents leaks and offers a secure connection to your camping stove, lantern, or other compatible devices.

I stand by what I said, and wish to highlight this bit: “ We are defined not by our mistakes, but by our responses to the mistakes. Featuring Coleman's double safety seal resealable screw valve the C500 can be be disconnnected and reconnected to your appliance in complete safety without leaks.It contains a propane/butane mix, for a steady and consistent burn across a wide range of temperatures. Coleman’s product failed me, and I gave them the opportunity to deal with that in a constructive manner.
