Campingaz CP 250 Valve Gas Cartridge, for Camp Bistro and Festivo Camping Stoves, Compact and Resealable Canister

Campingaz® is a European pioneer in portable energy solutions. Since 1949 Campingaz® branded products enable people to enjoy living and cooking outdoors.This guide gives a simple explanation of the different types of camping gas available, which one you need for your camping stove and where you can find them.

Ensuring you have enough gas for your Campingaz device is important, whether you are planning a long trip away or just attending a weekend event or party at home. Some people seem to think that certain brands give a more consistent flow and let you use the full canister better. But that’s not widely experienced, there’s no obvious consistency in which are the best/worst brands, and I don’t know of any reason that would be true (ultimately, they are just metal pots filled with gas). Each blue Campingaz® branded cylinder is professionally maintained with each refill, where safety is our primary concern It’s important to be aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide when using a camping stove. Avoid cooking inside your tent or in an enclosed area, as gas build-up can be fatal. Always cook in well-ventilated areas, and never use your gas stove in your tent as a heater.If the cylinders get too hot, they will normally expand at the base but they can only become explosive when exposed to fire and ignited in the process. Having said that, gas cylinders are relatively safe and may be used without hesitation. If you’re transporting the cylinder over a long distance, it is better to unscrew it first. While it is highly unlikely that the cylinder will unscrew itself, gas leaks are possible when the valve gets loose on a bumpy stretch of the journey. Need it in a hurry? We are also able to offer before 12 noon and Saturday delivery services. See here for information on these services Both connections are simple to use and the Refillable cylinder connection also features an innovative rotating collar with screw thread to greatly simplify the cylinder connection process.

Most gas cylinders can be recycled when you return them to your local tip. What happens here is the emptying of the bottle and removal of the valve for separate recycling. In this article, we provide a precise guide on how to dispose of camping gas cylinders the right way. Disposing of empty gas cylinders is a delicate procedure that should be followed to the letter. Failure to do so may easily harm the environment and even put your safety and that of others at risk. So, the next time you want to get rid of your used canister after an outdoor adventure, be sure to follow the above guide on how to dispose of camping gas cylinders.

Having given two talks on camping stoves at recent festivals, one of the key things I realised was that not everyone knows about the different types of gas canisters available for camping stoves. Aside from alcohol stoves and liquid fuel stoves, canister stoves make up one of the most prevalent fuel-burning equipment for portable outdoor stoves. These gas canisters come in various sizes with different weights. To get rid of every last drop from the cylinder, it is pierced with a sharp object so that the remaining gas vaporises through a small hole. Usually, canisters that are emptied in this kind of way are generally ready for the recycling bin. However, most camping gas cylinder manufacturers have good reputations and decades of experience creating these products. If you want our personal recommendations we would gladly recommend Coleman: In most cases, you’ll find cylinders ranging from as little as 100g to as big as 450g. Inside the canister is often a mixture of propane and butane to serve as fuel.
