How To Run Your Iso Butane Camp Stove On Propane! 

This 100% answered my question. Figured this would work for stoves, but wasn’t sure about the lantern. Thank you!

As a climber, I dismissed butane altogether for years and then just recently gave it try - which verified that I was 100% correct to have ignored it. However, that experience led to my "discovering" propane. Now THAT makes sense; the green bottles are not criminally heavy and propane boils at -40F so it's still got decent PSID at single digits. I use an MSR LOWDOWN with a Rocket; that thing rocks like an acetylene torch. It's also possible to put the bottle in an Outdoor Research 1L bottle parka for some warmth/padding. The Whisperlite is still my choice for survival-critical situations but otherwise, LPG is my new friend.

I store my green propane bottles in a small igloo cooler in my vehicle. I checked it out. 101degrees F. Outside. Inside the cooler in the truck 85 degrees inside the cooler. It also keeps them upright.

Great video, I have a few backpacking stoves that I use with propane instead of butane, The ones that have a hose instead of screwing the stove on top of the bottle can be a problem if you do not keep the 1 lb cylinder upright, Liquid propane can enter the lines and cause your stove to spit and sputter instead of burning cleanly...When using propane on a butane stove make sure that your propane tank stands upright so as to avoid this problem. It is also advisable to keep your flame as low as possible when using propane, otherwise the higher pressure will begin to freeze up at the burner orifice.

I have two of these. They pay for themselves almost immediately and from there on in it's all savings. Combine them with a refiller nozzle for your 20 lb propane tank to keep your one lb bottles full much more cheaply. Highly recommend especially for camper RV life. The 25 dollar Coleman Peak and the 10 dollar GasOne stoves, any other too, all work just fine on this setup. Buy these.

This adapter is essential! Those iso cans can be hard to find in smaller towns where the 1lb LP or map gas cans are readily available

I own one myself, great thing to have. Thanks for putting this out there, Good job.

I just had two of these show up from Amazon and cannot wait to put them to use. I have a family that is in one of my touring vehicles that are having trouble finding isobutane canisters, but have lots of access to propane bottles. I’m gonna get one to them and keep one for myself.

I just bought one of these from your store. I like the idea of having options.

Perfect solution I was looking for. Thanks for the review.

Thank you for all you do.

That is a nice adapter to have! Nice review George!

Thanks for the video love that lantern 👍

Thanks, you just fixed one of my biggest problems when I go into the woods in winter and I can't make a fire.

Thanks so much. Very helpful and just gave me a longer lasting option. I'm using a Etekcity Portable Stove and didn't want to use the Isobutane option

Great overview. Never knew they made lanterns for the canisters! Now all you need to do is buy the adaptors to refill these tanks and really save you money. As long as you weigh them and are carefully it can be done very safely. Thanks!

Hey! Thanks for the video. I purchased one a minute ago and it will be real handy I can tell. Thanks!

That is awesome, I had no idea they made something like that

Great video, exactly the comparison I needed. Thanks!

Just clicked the link and bought one based on your recommendation. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the video buddy just bought two of them yesterday after watching.....

I have that adapter and I love it. Goes in and off smoothly

Thank you for this. I was trying to see the easiest way to multi fuel.

Excellent product review. I put the camp stove adapter in my Amazon Cart and will purchased it as soon as I find a good price on something else I'm looking for. Thanks!

Excellent video. Was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for the info.

Great demo.

Great video, always wondered if you could do both, now I know, thanks 🤙

Great video, awesome demo.

Good test, thanks.

Great insight, thanks my friend!

thank you so much for this informative video!

I got the kovea adapter works real well with my pocket rocket. Good video.

Hey, thanks for your video, it was very useful!

Going to get this. Great vid.

Great work -- thank you!

I shall look into this. Thanks

Added that to a list! I've always been put off by the price of the mix canisters. Thanks!

Great info ...

Well done thanks

Just got one. Seems to work well

Thanks so much , I was looking for this information..

Great video. Thank you.

To test it put the bottle in the freezer. 4 season butane mix still works after being in freezer over night.

I just purchased this little guy just for this purpose because I was running out of isobutane but had the propane tank. Then I got the propane refill adapter when it runs out.

Good video! Thanks!

Yay info I've been looking for

awesome tip, thanks

Nice video👍 great review 👌

gotta put this on my wishlist

OMG You've made my day! Now part of my prepper gear will include a 20lb barbecue sized propane tank!

Thanks for the vid

I buried my canisters half way into the ground to protect from freezing and stability so my soucepan does not fall off.

I would try a Coleman lantern mantle, just to see of it performs better with the propane on the lantern options. Handy gadget.

Another Option for Use: Cache at your Bugout Location or Hunting/Vacation Cabin. Or for a Blackout/Grid Down and you're stuck in an Apartment Building. After all, those one pounders are a LOT easier to Find and Store than Isobutane. Thanks for the Video and Take Care.

only thing about using the big canisters is the worry of tipping it over...I think coleman has a plate type thing that goes on the bottom of the canister to help

That lp adapter comes with the Stryker 200 stove from Walmart in case you’re looking into buying a jet boil copy anyway

Definitely hand and for 15 bucks. Its worth it. Better to have and not need it, then need it and not have it. Thx for sharing.

That is cool I always wondered if you could get an adapter to use the propane

I have been looking for this very item

I have both of the adapters the one that you go from the mixture to the propane units and then from propane fuel canisters to mixed stoves . And on your Lantern it might be the mantle used the proper mantel for propane

Been looking into this

Remember to put the adapter on the stove first before the propane tank ! twig stove is a nice back up .

Trangia has a propane fire that you can put in fire box stove. You can cook dang near any thing in there. I'm going to use reusable 5 lb propane tank compair to throw away 1 lb tanks. Good video.

Thank u.

The burner on the Coleman Peak-1 is designed to produce a "diffused flame pattern" for even cooking/simmering, as opposed to the "concentrated flame pattern" of the MSR "pocket rocket" style burners that are geared toward boiling water.

there is also an adaptor for bayonet fitting gas cans to screw thread, the type of cans for the "table top" stoves only really suitable for remote canister type burners

It will work with that little mantle-less gas lantern/candle thing you tested in a previous video which is awesome. Burns a very very long time on a pound of propane!

Omg that adaptor to a 20lb propane adaptor and you're set lol

Thanks for sharing, you scared with the lantern (I JUST bought one that says it works with either IsoButane or propane.) I noticed the adapter for propane comes with instructions that mentions increasing or decreasing pressure through it by turning a set screw (most of the little butane/propane adapters seem to have an adjustment screw on one side or the other.) Maybe this helps.

I also have another valve to fill green bottles from white BBQ tanks. I win.

Good information, thank you! Like added

if you buy the walmart Ozark Trail 4 in 1 stove you get theadapter pice and a stove for $12.94

Thanks for the info. Have you encountered any stoves melting? Google shows titanium has higher melting point than steel. Thanks

iridium you helped bc i thought something would explode swapping..

1 lb. = 454 grams. A lot cheaper. Plus you can refill propane containers. Great vid.

Cool, thxs, say do you have a link to your small gas lantern?

Just use an MSR WhisperLite with the international wick. runs on any liquid that burns. Its silly to be limited to canisters to start with.

sweet i just orderd a soto windmaster and was wondering if i could do this so i only have to bring propan and us for both buddy heater and soto instead of needing both fuels

If you don't have any more cold days you could do a winter simulation and put your propane in your freezer for 3 days and try it like that

I heard using hot hands and wrapping around propane tanks in extreme cold keeps it from freezing. But I never did any survival or camping so maybe I'm wrong

I wonder if it works for the MSR Pocket Rocket, I will be trying it out, thanks you !

On the Peak One, the hissing noise is intsant when i open the valve with the short canisters. The tall one, wide open and nothing. I lit it anyway and had a small flame. It seemed like it had to prime or something. I thought i had empty canisters. At 65°, it just seemed odd.

then there is the adapters you can get at Walmart for reloading the smaller propane cans from larger grill units

Have you seen any freeze up issues when using propane. I used the same adapter on foldable Lixada camping stove and the line that runs from the canister to the stove kept freezing up when using propane. The stove would stop working until I thawed out the line. For any prolonged cooking the propane canister was effectively useless because of that.

I’ve seen vids showing refueling the 1 pound propane tanks from the 20 pound tanks which are even cheaper to refuel, so this means 20 pound propane tank to refuel the 1 pound, then use adapter from 1 pound tank to isobutane stove, so can now run isobutane stove for the price of 20 pound bbq gas station refill propane? 🤓 There is also an adapter to refuel the small (backpacking size) isobutane canisters from the butane stove canisters at 1/10th the cost of isobutane canisters and the butane canisters are available everywhere even in supermarkets

Went to the National Training Center in FT Irwin and at their PX they were completely sold out of the butane for my pocket rocket, but they had all the propane you couldve ever needed. Man, i wouldve killed for one of those adapters while i was there

Where did you get that little lantern? Baddass! Great vid!

There is also an adapter for a butane canister, another option just in case.

For all of my camp cooking needs, I use the Coleman 1 lbs propane bottles. Issue I have is once I disconnect the bottle from my coleman dual burner, or my small cook top like the ones in this video, gas is still leaking out of the bottle. Any caps available, so I can use the bottles more than once? Any help is appreciated.

I have 2 of the coleman burner and they stopped working after a few week..clogged up ? How you un clogg or clean the inside to see if it start working please?

Which remote canister stove that uses propane do you like?

Which fuel type/ canister would you recommend to stay in the vehicle year around? I live in Vermont and I try to keep these in are cars year around.

Can you use this adapter with a camping space heater?

need one so i can have my other stove as back up

Can you fill the small isobutane canisters with the propane 1lb Bottles

Can you reverse that from butane to Propane ? Thanks!

Do you have a rough idea how many boils you can get with the pocket stove, the adapter and the propane tank? Maybe like 4 times more than iso butane?

How about a boil test between the different gas types.???? Thanks for another great video

how do you adapt a 230G isobutane to a 8.8oz butane so my mini stove will run longer?

not something I need since I don't use a rocket stove on butane but for anyone who does this could be a good item to get so you can use the propane and the price is reasonable
