Refilling The Camp Stove Canister 

Provided you DO use the blow off valve feature, you might as well not bother with your refills unless you refill directly from a combination on propane and butane sources. I do, and the cost advantage as well as the hotter mixes I create for winter camping make refills worth while for my purposes.

I didn’t see you use the blowoff valve - which in my opinion is the best feature of that particular unit compared to the simpler version - and honestly makes it so you don’t have to freeze the cans to fill. I will attach the adapter to the empty, blowoff until it slows down to get any pressure out of the can, then when you fill, it wants to equalize pressure and rushes into the empty can. Then you can blowoff again with both attached to create a little more space to get a full can. I have like 6 small cans and only buy big ones now. Really great because I too have “not full can” anxiety when i hit the backcountry and this is more cost effective. I’m planning to do a video on my process as well. Cheers!

No need to return the small canisters to the freezer. Use the purge valve to release the gas untill the liquid fuel sprays out of the valve. When you see liquid spray coming out... open the valve again to add more fuel.

Refilling with cheap butane fuel for summer months is the way to go, just get the other adapter 👍💳

They warm up quite a bit from the gas condensing into the receiving cartridge. I had to repeatedly cool the small cartridge when I did something similar the other day. It would probably transfer more in each who l shot of the full cartridge was warm, either from a higher ambient temperature or very cautious heating. My adapter doesn't have a blow-off valve, so I haven't tried that.

I never have seen much of a point in doing this. First I'm usually flying out to a destination to go backpacking, so I need to purchase fuel there and leave it behind. But that's just me. Next, how many trips are people taking a year? I get the larger canisters are more cost-effective but most people are not taking that many trips a year where they have a bunch of canisters rolling around. I know that the flip fuel valve cost about $30, there are certainly cheaper ones, but how much fuel do you have to transfer to make up the cost of the valve? What is your time worth in doing this? I just buy new, I'll use it for small outings, or run my thermacell, or donate them.

Right on dude. Can you mention the name brand of the filler valve you used. I've read mixed reviews on Amazon for these things. Apparently some don't work. Thanks.

Is there a way to refill the big canister?

Thank you for the info.

Respect for using metric.

Great review, will be getting an adapter shoŕtly

I just buy a whole box of isobutane 220g packet of s 4 canisters x 7 for $57 so 28 refills for 57 dollars one xan cost $1.80 rather rhan 7 dollars upto 13 dollars for a 230g here in new Zealand so massive savings

How do I find that transfer valve on Amazon? Whats it called? Thanks for the video

thanks

Do you still refill? I bought a 3 piece kit. Butane valve, propane valve, and iso mix valve. I get it tomorrow from Amazon.

Hi, Thanks for the video, it was very informative, may I ask if you could share a link to where to get the little refill device you used please?

👍🏻

Liked n sub’d!

Was the refill gas the same mix or different?

For a short time camping is useless complete fulled the little tank.
