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

Product Information

The Campingaz cylinders have a very simple connection, where you can screw the cylinder and regulator together. Getting a smart new stove, like the Campingaz 400 ST, is only part of the outlay, as you also have to buy a gas cylinder. This guide gives a simple explanation of the different types of camping gas available, which one you need for your camping stove and where you can find them. With a three-legged stable platform for supporting your pan, the aluminium Odoland includes piezo ignition, serrated edges, a flame-adjustment nob, and a screw valve canister attachment.

Campingaz Party Grill 200 Stove: Best for larger groups (4-6 people) 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. When you've run out of gas, you exchange your gas cylinder for a refill, which should be the cost of the gas. Butane burns more efficiently, so you can get more gas from a smaller bottle than from a bigger propane one. Actually, you do get some indication beforehand, as your gas cylinder gets lighter with the more gas used.

We compared the brands’ published boil times with our own experiences and generally, as we suspected, the cheaper the design, the longer it took to reach temperature. The testing of stoves also happened to coincide nicely with our testing of the best camping food – we ate thousands of calories so that you don’t have to. The 400CV is a great BBQ and in some ways better than the Cadac. Yes we said it! For instance the lid has an in-built thermometer which allows you to set your cooking temperature accurately. The piezo ignition worked flawlessly on our test unit, and we liked the convenience of the gas can being underneath the BBQ rather than to the side (which is also available on the high pressure version of the Cadac).

How long a cylinder lasts in the real world depends on so many things: how often you are cooking, how many hobs you have, how long you use the gas on full, and even the weather conditions such as being cold and windy. Obviously, only buy something that looks in good condition and hasn't been tampered with. For gas cylinders like the Campingaz R907, ensure it still has its handle/cap. Without it, you may find it difficult to do a refill exchange as you aren't exchanging a complete gas cylinder. (See below for replacing the handle).In real-world use, though, you are unlikely to use it at full, and if you drop the Calor regulator down to 0.8kg/hr (i.e. you don't have your gas hob on full), then the Calor 4.5kg could last over 5.5 hours - an extra 2 hours longer than the largest Campingaz cylinder. Cylinder Propane is easy to get hold of and burns well but liquid fuel performs better at low temperatures. Liquid fuel canisters are usually connected via a hose to the stove and are refillable. We like stoves that feature a Piezo-igniter (a push-button starter) as it’s useful if you forget to bring matches along. Once lit, some stoves burn with a blue light while others make a roaring noise. You mustn't lose this handle as your cylinder may not be accepted as a complete cylinder when you come to exchange for a refill. 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.

a gas cylinder for camping - Which one is best? Choosing a gas cylinder for camping - Which one is best?

Many people don't and end up with a gas bottle that's no longer used, sitting in the corner of their garage. 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. How do you know when to get a refill?Each cylinder holds a different amount of gas, and each regulator has a flow rate, so assuming you burn the gas on full flow, the following table gives a rough guide - but note that is artificial for comparison only. Some people seem to think that certain brands give a more consistent flow and let you use the full canister better. 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). 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.
