Campingaz CV 300 Plus Screw On Gas Cartridge, for Camping Stoves, Compact and Resealable Canister

Product Information

Because gas cylinders are exchanged, you could end up with an old and battered one (like us) next to your new shiny camping stove. Most stoves use either canisters of gas (propane, butane or a mix of the two) or liquid fuel (such as kerosene or paraffin). Gas canisters usually clip or screw onto the stove. They’re small, lightweight and don’t leak. Often, stoves are only compatible with one kind of fuel or brand, so always ensure you buy the right fuel canister for your particular stove. You can also move the cylinder to hear the liquid gas moving around inside (remember, this is liquid petroleum gas), which gives you some idea of how much you have left. Tip for finding cheaper gas cylinders for camping Ideal for festivals and best suited for one-pot cooking recipes, you can take everything in a very compact, surprisingly light case without compromising on cooking performance.

Stoves vary in size from tiny ultra-light burners to big multi-hob numbers complete with grills that allow you to cook pretty much anything you do at home. If you’re camping alone or with a partner over a weekend, a small, simple camping stove will usually be more than adequate. In windy conditions you may need to create a windbreak to maintain burner efficiency, but we had no issues during our testing: the burners ably boiled water and fried sausages without incident. To avoid running out of gas when camping, some people take two cylinders, but this, of course, increases the cost and makes transport more difficult.
