The answers regarding this stove's use with a 16.4 ounce, disposable canisters was, at best, confusing. Can anyone lay this question to rest with some authority? Does this stove accept, without modification, a 16.4 oz. disposable propane canister that...

You will have to buy the Camp Chef Disposable Bottle adapter which converts the threads. Then, it works just great. You can get on Amazon.

It's meant to be used with a standard 5gal propane tank, but if you had a converter you could use a small 16.4oz camping tank, although you might run out before your job was done :-) I'm not sure that answered your question, but I tried!

I don't know which Coleman canisters you used, I know they make one that should work. I haven't tried the Coleman type. I have used Gas One and Max Butane 8oz Butane canisters and they have both worked with this stove.

I don't know the answer, however, the aroma from the burner makes me question the same thing. If you do purchase the burner, use it in a well ventilated space. Perhaps propane, or as you're asking "gas stove" might work. The flame is very small and the unit may not do well on a gas stove. Must be watched. Hope this helps.

The product info for the Coleman Camp Bistro says: *Lasts up to 1 hour and 15 minutes on a disposable 8.8 oz butane cylinder and these are 8oz. My guess is they would work. They do not list much information regarding the gas containers with the stoves.

Sorry, but I don't know the answer to that. I only bought this stove to use in emergencies after our terrible ice storm in February. I only plan to use the small 1# disposable propane containers. I also bought a propane heater and also plan to use the small propane containers. I did test this stove and the heater, and both started up beautifully. I hope I NEVER have to use either of these products. An ice storm here (South Carolina) is a rare event, but this was a bad one, with power out everywhere, which means: no heat in the house. I never go camping, so I would not be able to answer your question. Sorry.

I don't know for sure, but since it comes with 6.2 oz. canisters, 7.7 oz. sounds like it would be a tough fit.

No this is a "white gas" stove, propane is a whole other animal! The adapter is more likely to convert from disposable cylinders to bulk propane cylinders, but, that is not for this stove.

YES, it uses the same butane cannister that similar stoves use. You can buy them from Amazon. Camping stores and some WalMarts sell them.

Yes, I use it with a 20lb propane tank, the same as used for a propane grill. You will need to buy a hose that has the correct connection for the stove, and and adapter to connect the hose to the tank.

Yes, you can use any size bottle or canister of propane. It's about how long it will last for what you need it to do. Anyway the answer is yes. BIG BOB out!

You must buy a portable gas canister or a large (20 lb.) tank which needs a special adaptor. I've only used my Cuisinart one time, but I expect several uses before my small propane canister runs out of fuel.

Paul, the small can (4 oz) and the large can (8 oz) of Butane/Propane Mix will fit in the bottom pot. I have the larger 8oz (actually 7-3/4 or 220 g) Coleman canister in mine right now, along with a pocket rocket style stove. Put the canister in upside down so the pocket rocket stove will sit in the concave part of the canister. This will allow you to still have room for the pot/lid on top. I took this setup into the Grand Canyon in August 2014 with the large 8oz canister. It works fine. The only complaint is the two pots don't snap together but is held together by the mesh bag that comes with it. Maybe a large elastic strap will secure the lid onto the pot but I haven't had the need to try that.

As far as propane/butane fuels in a canister is concerned they'll work with just about any screw-on stove.A very slight dab of bar soap on the canister threads helps seal any would be leaks.

Canisters are sold separately! But there super cheap and are are ext lite to carry in a day pack, or bugout pack!! Check out YouTube with nutnfancy on these MSR stoves!! That's how I was made aware of them and what they do and there abilities! !! Nutnfancy has great information on a lot of outdoor products like this that are out in the field tested!!

depends how wide is the can. However the quality of this stove is baas i no longer have because the opposite side of the knob burned out and almost caused a disaster. Buy the coleman one. i found a new one on EBay for 23 and change delivered.
