Camping gas bottle adapter it saves you money in the long run 

Best review I've seen on Utube for these adapters. Short and sweet. Txs

Recently bought one of these little gems myself. As u point out, the price diff is quite significant between the 2 types of gas canister. Verdict - it’s a no brainier! 👌🏻

Been searching on internet for best solution for about 2 hours now, wish I'd found this first. Thanks man.

The cheap can has a huge arrow on its side. As long as the arrow is on the top at the lying can gas can pour out. There's a L-shaped nozzle inside the can which is pointing upward to that arrow. With this nozzle upwards you always gain gas with your hose. The cheap can contains 100 % of high efficient butane. The expensive can contains a mixture of propane (30 %, less efficiant) and butane (70 %). It performs better in temperatures below +5 °C. The propane stays gassy far below 0 °C and helps you to ignite your burner. If you keep the can beside the burner it will slightly warm up and the liquid butane will become gas at last and the burn continues. But you already have a burner with a pre-heating loop. So it's not neccessary to buy the expansive "winter" gas at all. With that pre-heating loop you could use your cheap butane can even upside down with liquid "gas". The pre-heating loop gasifies the liquid before it reaches the air. I'm using the cheap solution for years now and if you are buying the cans on stock you'll pay only 80 pennies for one can.

1) lying down with latch face up to come out in gas form instead of liquid. 2) dont shake it when using. 3) keep from overheat

Love going back over your old vids 👊🙏🏼

Thanks for the info. I've just bought 2 of these adapters based on your vid. Keep the videos coming.

That's bloody fab. What a great saving. Every penny counts when your on a budget.

Sound advice about refilling canisters. These adaptors are very good, been using this adaptor for years.

I picked one up last winter and I love it! I can't believe I didn't know about these before. I live in western Canada and when I go on road trips it's usually through the mountains with towns being fairly small if they exist at all. So it's hard to find replacement fuel and I hate taking a bunch extra because the car can get fairly hot. A couple years ago I ran out in the middle of a road trip and went hundreds of kilometers before finally finding some ISOPRO. Plus we had to basically find a specialty shop in a tourist town (Whistler, BC) so it ate into our time we could have been away from people. It also feels like a big waste to be using ISOPRO to boil water for some tea. I can justify it if I'm doing a back country backpacking trip and want to shave off all the weight and volume I can. But now if I was to head out on another road trip I'll just bring a couple cans of butane and then I can get more if I run out. Save lots of worry about running out. So as long as it is safe this seems like a great investment for lots of reasons. I would probably actually buy a couple since they're so cheap but also small. Plus I noticed they come in lots of colors so you could get one to match each can of butane :P

Great info, thanks for sharing this video!Makes fuel cannister use more versatile and thrifty! Very useful!

Thank you Sir! Searched for this and found your vid straightaway. I’m onto it!

cheers for sharing mate I ordered one of these after watching this 3 weeks ago and it was delivered yesterday works a treat thank you. ….ATB..colin.

Now I understand. I looked for info on the connections, found you and saved a fortune. I nearly bought a six pack of Coleman’s. Many thanks 😊

Very good and clear advice. Thank you for your time and effort.

Been looking at the adapters self. Think you've just convinced me into ordering one!! Thanks for the vid, helpful as ever..... ATB Andy.

Thanks for this video mate. Really helped me out and will definitely save me some money. Take care

I use those adapters too but the cheap blue canisters are butane only and perform poorly in the cold, whereas the others are a butane and propane mix so you can use them in lower temperatures.

I'm a new subscriber to your channel and havnt viewed all your back catalogue yet, but I was researching these adapters. The amazon reviews are rubbish. It's not clear what cans they fit or why some people have leaks. so I did a Google search and lo and behold English Woodsman came up. Thanks mate. that was so helpful.

Thank you so much for this. Brilliant and huge cost savings. Thanks again and best wishes

Nice find

Excellent tip. I don't have a gas stove but this will save many views £££

That’s bloody good. Pay for itself after a few uses. Cheers Dan.👍🏾

Just seen it Amazon, thank you for confirming it works!

Awesome dan .. I brought one befor Christmas..but not used it yet .. was good watch this .. cheers Chris & Sam

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but there is a significant difference between the two types of gas canisters. The Coleman - and almost all others of the same type contain a butane / propane mixture - the cheaper cartridges are butane ONLY. The reason for this is that a butane propane mix is *significantly* hotter than butane alone, and works much better in really adverse weather conditions. The really great thing about the lower temperature and cost of butane only cooking, is that it can simmer slightly better and costs way less - as you have mentioned. Just don't take it on any high alpine routes :-)

got one, well the son got me one brilliant not as much pressure in my opinion much lighter as well

Absolutely spot on what I needed cheers dude!!!

Nice tip for summer/autumn.Thanks.Yet to use my Feuerhand lantern as daylight still good a while yet in UK Paraffin not cheap either.Heard run ok on olive oil.Yes,maybe wick burns bit quicker but cheap to get.Yes,battery things have their place but give me old school tried n tested every time.All the best

Great tip Dan,thank you.

I'm in the process of gearing up for my Lands End to John O Groats this adapter is a no brainer,getting gas canisters is dead easy with this you could even buy a pack of four and throw three away and you are still saving money.

WARNING ABOUT FLARE UPS - THIS WARNING IS TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE BUT MAY BE INCORRECT. FIND OUT FOR SURE FROM AN EXPERT. These bayonet type camping gas canisters are great, BUT inside the cylinders is a plastic tube that must be orientated the correct way. To allow the tube to let gas out (and burn with a blue flame) rather than let liquid out (and burn with a wild, dangerous, and very high yellow flame) the cylinder needs to be in a horizontal position AND rotated so that the notch in the rim (the notch is near the valve) points upward. FAILURE TO DO BOTH THESE THINGS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS There may also be other hazards I am not aware of! If what I have said is correct I would suggest adding warning to video. Enjoyed your video.

Good idea, might grab one too

Ordered . Thanks for the info .

I know video was made a few years ago cheapest I've seen those camping gas is £4.99 for 4..Good video.

nice shout, i bought two ( in case i loose one ) can afford to be a bit liberal with my cooking now at that price

Great tip, thanks mate

Just blew myself up 🔥💥 cheers👼

Great shout 👍🏼🇬🇬

They are good adaptors, wildcamp wayne's got one which i filmed at our last woodland camp...atb...jeff.

just got a old taymar twine camping cooker, had to hit it with hammer and spray with rust remover, but got it going, got 2 small gas containers, at £4.50 each, the screw in ones, was looking into how to use the ones you use, they are cheaper, found your vid, going to get one or 2, adapters, :)

Nice tip thanks

Useful to know

Thanks for the info. I don't have a gas stove at all but considering buying one.

Nice one✔️✔️

Thanks

Great idea, as I use a lot of gas. Adapter is £1.89 delivered off Amazon. Thanxs for the tip.

I’ve got a odaland stove that has the adapter in the little orange box so I can use both gas cans but when I get out I will be using the cheaper gas cans .

The butane cans can be found ANYWHERE and that's why the adaptor is a good investment, especially if you travel like I do.

I've been using these adapters for a long time and they work great. I live in Philadelphia PA in the USA. Near me the cheapest and easiest place to get the canisters is at the Asian supermarkets. I wonder why our local camping stores, be it here or in the UK, don't sell the adapters since they've been around for a while. Ordering on eBay from China can be a bother. Lisa

yea this adapter is only for stoves that have liquid feeding mode or a pre heater tubes, it can become dangerous because those cans can feed liquid butane if not taken care properly.and you dont want a fireball stove.

i know this an old video but wish i knew about that adapter,stick with the blue campinggaz cans other cheaper ones can lose pressure and you lost half a can, you should buy your gas in winter when they are all on sale, you can get them cans as a propane butane mix but dont see them often,other cans have a thread on the top might be worth looking at them they the ones for the blowtorch thingy

nice one

Ha ha , it's a No Brainer , cheers mate 😀

That is the mutz nuts fella!

Exactly the video i was looking for,,,I do have a mini BRS stove but im not sure if this method would be stable enough

I got a smaller cooker and bought an adapter thats a stand for it too, works pretty good.

Much safer to just refill the original cartridge as long as you weigh it and don't exceed 374 grams gross for the 8 oz. size. The little nozzle adapter is cheaper as well.

there r great for the money i got one in jan

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸 Thank you!

I’ve got one myself but it’s broke to stoves not sure if the if the butane without the propane is clean enough? cause it broke to brand new one stoves

The best price, as of April 2022, I've seen at a retail store was £10 for 8 cannisters which works out at £1.25 each. These cannisters contain a Butane-IsoButane Propane mix advertised to be effective to -20 deg C.

Will a camping gaz regulator that fits on the big bottles connect to this adapter 👍🏼🇬🇬

Thank you have ordered good info cheers

reading most of the post, as long as you lay the can horizontally, like me, most of the time, and the arrow in upper most, it should be safe,

Just researching the gas canister adapter and found this video. It's 5yrs ago, have you had any problems???

I use these with no problems, also got mine off Ebay

What if u want to refill those 8oz cans?

Can the hose be disattached from the cooker?

May I know how long the 1 bottle can last at medium flame? thanks

dan I've got a campingaz burner you can have....no adapter required...

I sent a love and gift for you hope to get it backk see you

hi buddy were can i buy the hose attachement from fpr the coleman bottles?/ cant see it anywere without it coming with a stove

What is the name of the adapter please?

Put a link in the description of where you bought one so we can buy one

I have never found 4 cans of Campingaz for £1.99 more like £1.50-£2:each.

I'm told the cans don't last as long as the dumpy containers. So you'd have to take two or more depending on usage for a 3 or 4 day trip. If you're backpacking, that could be hassle? I bought my adapter on Amazon for a £1

Greetings, would it be possible to let me know a link or the name of the things we can see in the video? They seems very useful but a bit worry and confused before the purchase. Thanks a lot in advance. Good luck and more nice weather for your next adventure! Steven

Can you send link

Hi these look really nice but I can’t find them online anywhere. Can I have a link possibly?

I'm not massively keen on those adapters, they aren't a very secure fit. Also the Coleman gas is propane/butane mix, whereas the tall cans are usually butane/isobutane. There is a difference in flammability, I nearly found out the hard way... All I can say is don't use it indoors when you test it. Don't get me wrong, these things could be very useful as long as you're not an idiot...

Do you know how long this bottle of butane last (how many hours of burning)?

Tnx! What is the weight of the adapter, sir?

The CP250 Cans are £1 per can so please let the thread know where you are buying yours from so we can all save money.

Is there a way to adapt this stove type to a 1lb propane tank?

re-filling gas canisters is no different from filling a clipper lighter.

Only problem is the fly spray type cans are Butane which loses all pressure in the cold so no good in winter.The proper ones are 70/30 butane,propane mix so good in all temperatures

if you been living in new zealand you would be paying nz$14.00 (coleman can) the other (4 pack) $15.00(nz$)

what amazing accent is this ???

I heard Butane does not evaporate well in cold weather, thus the Propane/Butane mix is way better if winter camping, or if high altitude at night for example. @EWN - Have you noticed a difference in the burn rate in UK as per above? Cheers.

The two different gass container are quite different. The cans with the screw connector, contain propane, the bottles with push connector contain butane. The propane bottle is designed to lay down, not to stand up. It is also important pay attention to the orientation. The slot on the side of the connector is supposed to face up, to allow gass flow, not liquid flow. +Butane bottle cost less - Side-orientation/rotation of bottle is important to avoid liquid butane. - gass is not usable bellow its boiling point, butane boils where water freeze. -Propane cost more + Just keep connector on top. + Can be used well bellow freezing of water.

In idea where he’s getting 4 for £1.99?? Maybe it’s a northern thing?

Don't think propane burns at low temperatures.

Watched to see if you stood the can up or laid it down. But you moved that out of the frame! :-(

Spoke too soon as you said at end too keen me

Heres a link to another video with the other adapter. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I2lSC4-1NUg.html

A 1 minute video took 6 minutes. Christ.

Well, we don't all use them. I can cook with gas at home, and I don't go into the woods to act like I'm in my kitchen. I burn wood, either with a campfire or woodstove.

You make simple maths sound really difficult, please stop
