While it is highly unlikely that the cylinder will unscrew itself, gas leaks are possible when the valve gets loose on a bumpy stretch of the journey. The nature of the burner is totally unrelated to camping stoves, BUT the setup comes with a burner from Germany and requires pierceable gas canisters. The benefit of 70/30 butane/propane mix is that it increases a Coleman stove or lantern’s performance in lower temperatures. Update: I asked on Twitter and was told that ‘aerosol’ canisters are the most readily available in Cambodia.

A used gas cylinder is not like other types of waste that you may see on a camping trip and think to just casually dispose of into the bushes. I have an Ozark Trail two burner camp stove which I bought from Walmart in 2016 when travelling in America.If you read the guide below and learn about the alternatives, there are some tricks to get around the problem. FYI, with more digging, I learned that small propane/butane canisters CAN be shipped, ground only, by the US Post. Otherwise, consider this a “thank you” note, and I hope you and your readers continue to have safe travels. Unfortunately, this is a limit that can easily be breached when it’s hot outside, so stowing away the cylinder in the boot of the car might be a good idea.

I’ve bought a Campingaz Camping Chef folding stove and i bought the appropriate regulator to go with it. If you use liquid fuel, make sure you empty it to the last drop, as there is always some surplus even when you think it is used up.But that’s not widely experienced, there’s no obvious consistency in which are the best/worst brands, and I don’t know of any reason that would be true (ultimately, they are just metal pots filled with gas). I have spent days trying to sort out an issue, and your site finally gave me the complete answer I needed to hear (I believe). By using a windshield with these tools, you are therefore reducing the amount of time it takes for the water to boil or food to heat up. Alternatively, you can find a reputable waste-collection agency dealing with non-household wastes to ensure the canister is appropriately sorted and disposed of in the best way possible. Some people seem to think that certain brands give a more consistent flow and let you use the full canister better.

You’ll also want to check whether your local recycling point charges a fee for the service when it comes to non-household wastes.

They are small, red ¨Gaskartuche¨ gross weight 290 grams (Butane 180 grams) Have tried recycling centres and outlets to retun them.

In the UK, empty gas cylinders are sometimes disposed of alongside regular household waste then sorted out for recycling. If the cylinders get too hot, they will normally expand at the base but they can only become explosive when exposed to fire and ignited in the process.Is there a adaptor which allows me to make the the party grill connect with a larger Canister as the campingaz R907? If it burns better after you’ve done those things, even if only briefly, then it’s probably the cold.
