Product Information

Specifically, with a ‘dual fuel’ stove below or one of the adaptors below, you can use multiple types of gas cylinder, which will maximise your chances of finding gas canisters all over the world, wherever you are. It’s a good way to save money too as the alternatives are often cheaper.

OP, keep an eye out in lidl. They often have piercable cylinders on sale. Not camping gaz but perfectly good. Double burner stoves are ideal for cooking if you do not cook using one saucepan. If you need several burners working simultaneously, they are ideal. Buying two single burners is a cheaper option than a double burner. You do not need to worry about refilling the cylinders. Butane 220g gas canisters are more affordable and easier to store and transport. The S200 stoves were intended as picnic and hiking stoves, they were even used on Everest in the 1970's as there was nothing better about then. Some double stoves have a grill underneath the main burners, with separate power control, so they burn separately. Finally, the stove set up (e.g. stove model, windshield, heat reflector, heat exchangers on the pots) is a much bigger factor than the canister type.One thing I noticed on both the original valve of the 270 and the donor valve from the Coleman Peak 1 is that the part number "06F125" is clearly shown on both valves. You can judge how much gas a canister leaves by weight and shaking. However, this will not help ensure you have sufficient gas to last for your trip. How long does gas last on a camping stove?

Even fewer knew that there are several dual fuel stoves and handy little adaptors you can get for your camping stove that will allow it to use any type of gas. In my previous post I advised against butane/propane mix C206 canisters on an old S200 stove as I was uncertain it was safe. If you know it to be safe I stand corrected.A single portable gas stove is lightweight and has only one burner ring. They use either gas canisters or cylinders that you can easily remove.

For safety reasons, I will always continue to remove gas from my stove after using it. I prefer to be safe rather than worrying about losing a minimal amount of gas when removing.
