It does mean, obviously, that you need to clean this item but I like that JetBoil invented an adapter to diversify the cooking options of JetBoil cooking systems. I won’t bother giving all the weights for the respective kits as that is out there on the web and no-one takes every component. In fact, I’ve managed to cook pancakes over a JetBoil by holding a pan about an inch above the flame but it’s a long time holding if you’re cooking pancakes for four! Bernzomatic QuickFire canisters contain MAPP gas which does have propane in it but also has a high percentage of propylene.After using it successfully a literal couple of times we brought it into the Umpqua National Forest in Oregon for the July 4th week where it’s first shortcomings were exposed. I like the weight of the G-works, but it doesn't work with 16 oz propane bottles that are made to be refilled. In fact, we were camping on the Dorset coast this summer with a superb view on the sea when I started heating up water for my morning tea. Making sure the propane canister was correctly tightened and seated into the regulator (it was) I immediately could tell that gas was escaping from inside the regulator’s valve.

And yes, I know they usually blend in some isobutane and propane into the typical backpacking gas canister, but still, nothing beats 100% propane for cold weather. At best with my regular stove, I have dinner cooking in 10 minutes and a hot meal ready in 25 to 30 minutes. Pre-heat seems to be a little longer/trickier and getting the white gas into the empty canister is a small process to itself.

The Kovea propane adapter is a great little adapter, but it weighs 105g – that's nearly a quarter of a pound!

Apart from the female Lindal 7/16 NS threaded valve and the CP250 or CP Twist Fit Bayonet gas canister, there's also the CampinGaz CV series gas canisters, which are readily available in Singapore and Malaysia.Jeebel Camp 24" Propane Canister to Threaded Camping Stove Adapter Extension Hose 1L Propane Small Tank Input EN417 Lindal Valve Output with Adjustable On/Off Switch https://www.

Gear talk: Pad-Pal, the world’s smallest and lightest electric pad inflator is getting smaller and lighter! For that you need to actually get it lit first, which is no great hardship despite it having no piezo igniter fitted. This is particularly true if you have to fly in for a given trip and cannot take canisters from home.You are correct that you want to keep the vessel clean, no burnt on food or gunk, including the fins underneath the vessel. Owing to the absence of a side stand on the CE020 Adaptor — which orientates the gas canister in a specific position so that the pick up tube inside the canister is pointed up, feeding butane vapor to the stove, and not liquid butane — the CP250 gas canister must NOT be used lying on its side in this configuration. As for running a Reactor on propane, I don't know that it's dangerous or going to harm a stove, but I don't know that it's safe either.
