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

Product Information

This is a simple, affordable and highly effective double burner solution from Vango that will keep the whole family fed without taking up much space in the boot of the car. 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.

Many people don't and end up with a gas bottle that's no longer used, sitting in the corner of their garage. We go camping earlier and later in the year than most families in the UK, but we've gone for butane gas and had no problems in spring or mornings after a slight frost, but that's pushing the limits of butane. Campingaz vs Calor gas, which is better?The 500ml pot has an insulated sleeve to avoid burns, and it features a spork holder and hanging system. The burner’s design is equally ingenious: three pot support pegs allow you to adapt the burner to support any standard pots or pans for cooking.

If you are camping in Europe, then Campingaz refills will be easy to find, but you won't find refills for Calor gas.

The amount of gas most people use when camping can easily be accommodated with smaller gas cylinders, so aim to get a cylinder less than 15kg (and a 15kg cylinder is still a big cylinder for camping). Most stoves use either canisters of gas (propane, butane or a mix of the two) or liquid fuel (such as kerosene or paraffin). Gas canisters usually clip or screw onto the stove. They’re small, lightweight and don’t leak. Often, stoves are only compatible with one kind of fuel or brand, so always ensure you buy the right fuel canister for your particular stove. It takes plenty of twigs and you need to add more twigs every few minutes but keep the fire roaring and, if you fill the red pouch on the side with water, as it heats the built-in thermoelectric generator with USB connector can turn the heat into electricity and top up your phone as you boil your supper. 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. The Campingaz cylinders tend to be a few pounds more expensive, but this ease of use has made them a firm favourite with family campers.

Your Campingaz cylinder should come with a carry handle that screws into the fitting where the cylinder goes. This not only makes the gas cylinder easier to carry but protects the fitting at the same time.

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). When you've run out of gas, you exchange your gas cylinder for a refill, which should be the cost of the gas. Dutch camping experts Cadac may not be well known over here (yet), but, but this dual burner stove is one of the most versatile we’ve seen. The Cadac 2 Cook 2 Pro Deluxe QR might be a mouthful to say, but this tabletop design has two Piezo ignition-controlled gas burners, and despite the relatively compact 57 x 32 x 10cm (LWD) dimensions has plenty of space for two large pots. 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? Because gas cylinders are exchanged, you could end up with an old and battered one (like us) next to your new shiny camping stove.

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. Buy more fuel refills than you think you’ll need, and if you’re heading abroad on a car camping trip it’s worth taking as much as you’ll use for the entire camping trip, as it might not be available at your destination. You can also buy hose adaptors that let you connect gas stoves to big, refillable propane tanks, which is a more eco-friendly and economical way to cook than regularly replacing smaller canisters. It’s a brilliant and compact system which means you can enjoy a bacon and egg sandwich as well as a cuppa without having to carry a cumbersome stove. Plus, propane cylinders are heavier, making butane easier to transport when you have lots of camping gear.Propane works when it gets cold. Unfortunately for Butane, the gas condenses when it gets cold and won't flow (no early morning brew!). So, if you are planning on any winter camping, propane gas is the only way to go. But if propane works all year round, why bother with butane? An update to the traditional alcohol burner style all-in-one camping stove, this stylish, super light design from Primus comes with a small but mighty 2000W piezo controlled gas burner that can boil a litre of water in just four minutes. If you're looking at buying gas cylinders in the UK, you'll notice some are blue (butane) and some a red (propane). But what's the difference between butane and propane? So a refill doesn't happen whilst you wait. Your cylinder is just swapped for one that's already been refilled.
