What kind and type of butane should i use?

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

The canister sold here on Amazon are fine, I would think any brand would be about the same, I hunted for the best price. The canisters are larger than the ones you find for refilling a lighter, and with shipping cost, around 2.00 - 4.00 each. Each canister lasts threw several days. I used mine mailing to heat water and make small meals for one during two week long power outages last fall, and am on my second canister. Butane is hotter than propane, takes a lot less time to boil water, and watch your food close! It will burn quickly! These stoves are great for emergencies, or camping.

As other reviewers have said, it's nearly impossible to find these butane canisters except online. I suggest ordering the Gasone 12-pack from Amazon. Despite brand names, all these $15-$30 butane stoves use the same type of canister. Hope this helps.

GasOne makes some that work well. They're big cans, like the size of a spray paint can, not the little ones you get for refilling lighters. Some hardware stores carry them, but not in my area, so I had to order them from Amazon. Here's a link http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0022BUT2O/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1376398267&sr;=8-1π=AC_SX110_SY190Yes, you're paying more for the gas than the stove, but a 12-pack will last you a long time.

It's recommended to use with a 227g (8oz) GASONE Model Gas-1 non-refillable fuel gas canister.

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 got my butane from a local Asian grocery here. Just went in and asked for some can gas...They also sell the Butane on Amazon.

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.

As the other person said, regular butane. You can pick it up at your regular drugstore :). Make sure to say "butane" if you ask if they have it, as "lighter fluid" usually refers to the liquid you put in Zippo lighters.

Hello! Both of the ones I purchased came with butane in them. You can adjust the output of the flame with a little thing on the bottom. Hope this helps!

This torch uses the standard butane fuel. Here is a link to what I use. http://www.amazon.com/Zippo-Butane-3810-5-82-Oz/dp/B0062YBCNW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1423691931&sr=8-1&keywords=butane

Vector premiium Quintuplus refined butane gas. Vector butane is strongly recommended for all hi-tech jet flame lighters. I don't sell it; I just use it.

I think you have the same burner I have and yes you can use any butane gas canister. Mine uses the 8 ounce that I bought from Ace Hardware. Works fine. I think there is an industry standard on the canisters so you can't go wrong.

It can use any brand of butane cartridges. I find that the cheapest place for me to buy them is in a local Asian grocery store. Many stores (like Walmart) also have them in the camping section.

it does not come with any butane. just go to your local hardware store and buy some butane, to order butane online would have ridiculously expensive shipping and handling because you're transporting gas.

There is a small circular valve on the bottom. Any regular can of butane lighter fluid should work. Press the can into the hole and it will begin to fill with fluid. There will be some fluid that escapes while you are filling, that is normal.

since its a butane flame i think you should go with a normal zippo, cause you could get burned. This should be a better option: Zippo Pipe Black Matte Lighter

I would suggest not using them even though they fit, as the product information on the canisters indicates that they may contain lead.I bought some of these for my Iwatani. They do fit and function, but after seeing that they may contain lead, I bought some Iwatani-branded canisters to use instead. Iwatani publishes Materials Safety Data Sheets http://www.iwatani.com/pdf/BU-6_MSDS_Eg.pdf for their butane and intends the canisters to be used to apply flame to food, so it seems to be a safer option.

I have two different types of butane gas burners and I find it difficult to get a low enough flame on both of them to properly cook rice, grains, or to simmer soups or stews without all the liquid boiling off. I wanted to know if there were any other portable gas burners that were more sensitive to being set at low temps!

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.

I would use the 1lb cannisters that you can get almost anywhere. The cost a couple dollars a piece, and will last for about 5 or so hours of grilling.

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

You will need a butane refill bottle sold almost anywhere.There is a little valve on the torch that you insert the butane nozzle of the refill bottle into.
