Campingaz CP 250 Valve Gas Cartridge, for Camp Bistro and Festivo Camping Stoves, Compact and Resealable Canister

Product Information

Aside from alcohol stoves and liquid fuel stoves, canister stoves make up one of the most prevalent fuel-burning equipment for portable outdoor stoves. These gas canisters come in various sizes with different weights. In this article, we provide a precise guide on how to dispose of camping gas cylinders the right way. However, if you’re travelling through different countries or out in the middle of nowhere, you can’t always find screw-on gas canisters. Fed up with your tent always looking messy? Never seem to have a place to put anything on a camping trip? Decathlon has the answer. Our range of camping cupboards and storage solutionsgive you a place to put everything. We’ve got camping storage solutions for every part of your camping setup, from kitchen stands, inflatable wardrobes, and bedside tables. If the cylinders get too hot, they will normally expand at the base but they can only become explosive when exposed to fire and ignited in the process. Having said that, gas cylinders are relatively safe and may be used without hesitation. If you’re transporting the cylinder over a long distance, it is better to unscrew it first. While it is highly unlikely that the cylinder will unscrew itself, gas leaks are possible when the valve gets loose on a bumpy stretch of the journey.

A used gas cylinder is not like other types of waste that you may see on a camping trip and think to just casually dispose of into the bushes. Each blue Campingaz® branded cylinder is professionally maintained with each refill, where safety is our primary concern

Conclusion

While your ideal camping trips may involve lots of rigorous hikes and long days of exploring, you’ll also want to give yourself time to stop and relax. And we don’t mean sitting on the cold, hard, bumpy ground. Decathlon’s range of camping chairsare designed with every camper type in mind. You’ll find folding camping chairs with built-in drinks holders to folding stools if you just want somewhere to perch. Generally, you can carry gas cylinders in a vehicle without any hardships. But for safety purposes, ensure that the cylinder is not exposed to any temperatures above 50 degrees Celsius. In the UK, empty gas cylinders are sometimes disposed of alongside regular household waste then sorted out for recycling. But before you do this to your old gas cylinder, it must be fully emptied. If you use liquid fuel, make sure you empty it to the last drop, as there is always some surplus even when you think it is used up. How long do camping gas canisters last? Camping Gas Canisters burn on average 2g of Gas every minute, meaning that a regular camping gas canister such as the ones you get from Coleman around 220g will last you around 2 hours. For most people outside wild camping, this is more than enough to cover cooking your dinner and breakfast the next morning, alongside hot drinks.

Finally, the stove set up (e.g. stove model, windshield, heat reflector, heat exchangers on the pots) is a much bigger factor than the canister type.The main difference is the proportion of propane to butane. More propane = better cold weather performance. The exact mix of propane, butane and isobutane is usually secret. But above 5 degreees Celsius (41 Fahrenheit), you probably don’t need any butane

See here for information on these services Nevertheless, you should be extra cautious with cylinders that haven’t been fully emptied as they are still deemed to be hazardous waste and need to be disposed of by following the standard recycling collection procedure.Specifically, with a ‘dual fuel’ stove below or one of the adaptors below, you can use multiple types of gas cylinder, which will maximise your chances of finding gas canisters all over the world, wherever you are. It’s a good way to save money too as the alternatives are often cheaper.

Disposing of empty gas cylinders is a delicate procedure that should be followed to the letter. Failure to do so may easily harm the environment and even put your safety and that of others at risk. So, the next time you want to get rid of your used canister after an outdoor adventure, be sure to follow the above guide on how to dispose of camping gas cylinders. product/helpAdviseTab.hbs -->
