New to backpacking: Can I have some examples of canisters that will work with this stove?

Primus canisters (from walmart) also adaptor available on amazon to use cheap propane cylinders. These adaptors will not fit all but will fit most ultra-lite stoves.

There are a small butane/propane canister about 4 in wide x 3 in tall. You can get them from Walmart for $5. Mine last several months to heat up soup for lunch over the winter.

Regular green gas propane won't work without an adapter that cost more than the stove.

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 have seen them on Amazon. There are also some other brands that are sold on Amazon that look like they would fit this stove in a can.

I would guess I could pre-fill my hobo alcohol stove and drop it in, light with a long match,twig or a spark from a ferro rod,using the stove as a pot stand and windbreak concentrating the heat. I'd be careful not to get burned. Now I'll have to try it.

Yes, any stove/burner that fits on a fuel canister will fit on this. I bought this for a cheaper fuel option and it does not disappoint. Costco Business has 4 canisters for $6. I use with my MSR Micro Rocket.

Yes, perfectly. I just ordered a Triton series 2 stove and the bag. The bag also holds two propane tanks. Nice package.

I bought a 12-pack of GasOne Butane canisters offered on Amazon. They work fine. As mentioned in my review, if you want a fuel to use in below freezing temperatures, then I'd go with a propane cook stove.

You would need an adapter to do this. It does sort of defeat the purpose of carrying a compact stove though. If you have space for a normal tank, why not use a larger cooking surface as well? If you are doing this for space / weight, just buy the compact canisters that are made for this device.

I am not sure denatured alcohol burns hot enough to use in a stove - but perhaps your stove is made for using denatured alcohol as fuel --what do I know? Just make sure the container is secure and spill proof. Like something made for white gas. Aluminum is lightweight and aluminum canisters of white gas is what I used to take backpacking. They look a little like water bottles for bicycling. Optimus, Primus, and MSR are good brands and available on Amazon.

I bought these for use in our Brunton stoves. In those stoves the canister is laid in a channel, to begin the flow of the fuel you push down a lever and that pushes the can against the port on the stove. If you actually need a threaded end this canister won't work.

They only work with butane canisters made specifically for butane stoves. You can find them on Amazon, sometimes with free shipping. You can also find them at stores that sell camping gear, some hardware stores, or restaurant supply stores.

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.

Hey, Happy,The stove comes with a propane element that can be hooked up to a seperate ( not supplied propane tank). It will not work on the small camping stove type canisters. I love the stove and have found it to be very effective with charcoal briquetts. I highly reccomend the manual, and the oven cover. A great buy from Amazon.

I am going to try the fuel used in alcohol stoves for camping/hiking. REI and most sporting goods/camping stores carry cans of this fuel.

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

i have used it on my small pocket rocket stove, but the aluminum is thin and has burned a little. it might really burn in a regular fire. you also have to be careful with the handles, they cause the pan to tip when there's not a lot of food. in general it's fine if you need a small lightweight compact kit for backpacking.

Any stove is going to work at elevations, just not as well the higher you go. For high elevations, I recommend using fuels that need little oxygen to burn. But I am no pro at low oxygen environments.
