New stove - can anyone tell me what fuel this needs?

[wanderingblade]

Cheeky question - I'm thinking of getting some of these in, but can't be certain of the fuel bottle connector - what style of gas bottle does this take? Is is a style of bottle / refill readilly available in the UK?
The supplier says it takes Butane or Propane.



Don't want to get any if you can't buy the fuel in the uk.

I'd appreciate any help!

Looks like the camping gaz removable cannisters with the bayonet style fit to me.

Cheers Mojo.

I was thinking something like this?

I'm assuming it will have to be one of the long canisters as it fits on the side??

Are stove fittings pretty universal with only a few standard types or are there dozens of differing fittings?


As you can tell, I don't use gas much!

If it's a free standing cannister stove you are looking for, why not consider an optimus stella+?

I don't think there are 'that' many fittings, but I'm not sure of them all, I only use the screw on cannisters!

Looks like a basic butane cylinder like we use for hot pot stoves. They're plentiful and cheap, but don't stay on very securely.
