Any butane canister can be used with this stove? But what about the magnetic lock mechanism? I assumed that it will only work for Iwatani canisters..?

Ive used several brands of butane canisters bought in several different states while on camping trips...they all work, no worries. My local Asian market has butane for $1.25 a can. I paid $3.99 at a hardware store in Colorado for a different brand can. Both worked just fine, but as is usually true: it pays to shop around !

No, I believe any canister will work for it. I bought canisters that weren't Iwatani and they work just fine!

I've never used an Iwatani canister, so I don't even know how well the magnetic lock works. I use 12 Butane Fuel GasOne Canisters for Portable Camping Stoves

It works with any standard butane canister. I don't use Iwatani and have never had any problems.

most of the small or large canisters that you will find in the stores are a butane blend, and they all work good. i believe that it would work.

I got the GasOne Butane Canisters. Works great. The canisters are easy to place in the portable butane stove and easy to remove when you are done using it.

I bought this unit specifically to carry on my MC! There is absolutely zero chances for butane leakage plus there is no spark source in the Tool Roll anyway. I also carry a refill tank of butane as well as propane mini-tank for the camp cooker. In more than 20 years of summer MC touring I have never had a problem with this soldering torch or those that preceded it...

Actually Butane fuel is the same as the fuel used on the gas stoves especially the portable ones. Its must better than the regular lighters.

I purchased an Iwatani along with the canisters and they work perfectly on the unit I purchased. The fuel canisters were shipped TO ME without a problem. Just a word of caution however. I tried to reuse the cardboard box to ship something else to a friend but a code imprinted on the box alerted the USPS that the material inside fell within a special hazardous category. I had to obliterate all the markings with a black felt marker. I am confident in suggesting that shipping the actual canisters, after receipt by the consumer, would present some issues.

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!!

Yes the iwatani portable gas stove is safe to use inside. The unit is light but very stable. Using the recommended gas the unit burns very clean.

The stove uses type "B", 8 ounce butane canisters which, I've found, can be purchased at most hardware and home appliance stores like The Home Depot. They can also be bought online here at Amazon.com for about $3 to $5 per can

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

it can only use Iwatani gas . I bought 10 of those from a website called very asia they cost about 2.32 each and the shipping was reasonable about $6.00 . I have used one so far . They are very economical and you can use them with other appliances

Honestly, I've never used the canisters. I've only used the 20 lb. tank. There is a smaller tank and I think it's a 5 lb. tank that I intend on purchasing. One of the two tanks I just mentioned will be your best out. They can be refilled. The small canister are a waste. I've seen them used and they don't last long at all. They will frost up when they get to a certain level and no longer puts the propane through and the heater is useless. So just get the 5 or 20 lb. tank and you will be happy.

We have the 30+ year old version of this canner and it works well on a propane stove with cast iron grates. We initally heated it on a 15k burner then (very carefully) moved it to a 5k burner. Once it was up to pressure, the low setting on the 5k kept the pressure exactly where we wanted it.

I'm guessing that these are the wrong style of canisters for your stove. I use these with a Gasone stove that is a square shape, approx. 12 x 12 x 3. These canisters do not have a screw top. You remove the top red cover, place them in a cartridge holder, then use a lever to insert the top tube on the cartridge. I think you need one of the butane canisters that is squat and almost round shape. The picture looks as though they have a screw top. You might check with a local camping store. Here's the Amazon URL:

I use butane that I buy at home depot. There is a small valve on the bottom of the burner that easily fits the butane canister.

The fuel used in this type of stove is either a butane or iso-butane mix. the canisters "cans" must have a Lindal valve. Manufacturers such as MSR, Snow Peak, Primus, Coleman, Kovea and Brunton sell the fuel cans.

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
