I bought Coleman butane, 8 oz canisters that don't seem to work. Are there different canister types for these butane portable stoves?

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 am at work and can't weight this item however, I cannot recommend you get this adapter. Mine was very poorly made, the stove would not screw on correctly and the connector at the fuel can leaked. Unless these are the only butane canisters you can get, avoid this. I would, on the other hand, highly recommend one of the other isobutane stoves you get for less than $10 shipped. They screw onto the very common canisters by MSR, Peak, Giga, Jetboil, etc. If you goal is to have a low to the ground stove for more stability with larger pots then just buy that type of stove. Every isobutane stove I have will fit the Kovea propane adapter that allows you to use the very common 1 lb green propane bottles. A fraction of the cost of regular isobutane via the canisters. And remember to hold on to all of your empties, both the isobutane and the 1 lb green bottles as they are refillable. Refilling them allows you to run a canister for pennies on the dollar VS a new canister and its good for the environment too. Good luck and see you on the trail.

If it is a table top type stove, it will work. Check out the Max Burton® Portable Butane Burner (08254) and if it is that type of stove, you can use these canisters.

1) isopro canisters are not available empty, they are factory charged like a propane tank but mini sized. 2) U.S. or otherwise they are available at many sporting goods stores that sell camp gear. 3) YES ispro canister stoves are very easy to use and an affordable choice. BUT... 4) You can NOT fly isopro canisters anywhere, US or international, so you have to buy them overseas if that is your stove/fuel of choice. 5) You also can NOT fly camp stoves, at least not in the US and often International will prevent flying with them. The 'official' rule is, if it is brand new, never been used, has NO fuel or residue in it you could fly it BUT since TSA would really have no way of knowing if its new they will often remove it from your luggage if it is found. No to mention, just having it in your luggage even if new gives them cause to open and search your luggage, which then opens up the possibility of things becoming 'lost'.... lastly, my personal, prefereance and experience is to make an alcohol stove at your destination, youtube search for 'pop can alcohol stove'. Easy, cheap and, available world wide, without having to fly the stove or the fuel. They work.

I'm not to sure of your question. If you are asking how do you use them, they require a small stove that is fitted for this type of canister. If you are asking how are they shipped, they came bubble and plastic wrapped inside a cardboard box, very secure. GasOne is a great product that works well in the small camp or backpacking stoves. Can be used in a emergency situation for cooking and boiling water. Each can lasts roughly 1.5- 2 hours depending on flame height.

It has the fixed Lindal connection that works with butane only (the typical backpacking stoves). You can buy an adapter for propane to butane conversion , eg Kovea, but they cost about $25 extra bucks. This stove connection will not screw onto your standard LPG (propane) connector; the kind you can buy cheaply eveywhere. If you buy the conversion valve the stove works well w/ butane (Lindal valve) and your standard LPG canisters. I have liked this stove for the price. The adapter makes it usable w/ either gas type

Go to Lowe's or home depot and buy one of the Blue torch cans. The are not the recommended butane/propane mix, but they work

I don't leave the butane canister in the stove for safety reasons. I only use the burner outdoors. Hope this was helpful.

it does not matter which you use, butane or propane, what matters is what fits the stove. camp stove fuel sold at sporting good stores like the brand msr is called a blended fuel, basically butane and fits the stove without an adapter, propane tanks found in hardware stores require an adaptor. just look at the fuel can top and your stoves screw on valve and it obvious what will fit and what will not fit

It's isobutane canisters that you need. I believe mine are Coleman. I know I got them at Walmart. Hope that helps.

You can use the camping version cylinders (16.4 oz) or use an adapter valve to attach to a large propane canister.

The brand of stove is different from mine but from what I can see it looks like those cans of Butane will work in that stove.

Must use specific butane cannisters. You can buy burton or other brands online, but expensive to ship. I get mine at local sporting goods stores, army surplus stores or sometimes walmart.

Hi Joseph. I do not know what an IsoPro fuel canister is specifically but I use a generic fuel canister with mine with no problems at all. As far as I know, the Pocket Rocket will fit any generic ISO Butane/Propane fuel canister. I Hope this helps

Yes. I have bought and used Coleman's canisters with the MSR stove. It works the same as the MSR name brand ones.

You can use the standard butane/propane canisters sold at REI and other outdoor equipment outlets. The one I have used is made by MSR, but there are several similar canisters that will also work. Hope this helps!
