Just the heads up that wow camping have 6 cans of C500 coleman gas at less than £20 atm, and considering gas might be in a limited supply soon, might be worth topping up?

Sadly Coleman canisters are terrible when nearly empty, the gas doesn't flow out very well. OK in warmer weather but you will need to turn the canister upside down to get the last out.
The best ones I have found are the GoSystem and Primus, upright they will flow until empty.

still half the price of the primus stuff in my local tackle shop, I just give em a shake and accept my coffee might take a little longer. Not the end of the world to me but each to their own. Id much rather have 6 of these than 3 primus

Agree about the Coleman canisters being a pain when nearly empty but the others are just too expensive- think I'll stick with the Coleman's for that reason. Normally wait for a 10/:20% off then buy a box 👍

What facts are you referring to that gas (propane/butane) is going to be in limited supply soon?

I'm with you Nick. Once this box of Coleman is done I'll be using Primus, much better

When I can only use 3/4 of a canister at the most because the gas won't come out I would much rather pay the odds for one that does work properly.
Having to heat some water to heat the canister is a waste of both time and gas and defeats the object.
My local tackle shops have actually stopped selling the Coleman gas because it is so bad.
I have used various gas canisters and Primus and GoSystem gas are the best I have used and tested, although I'm currently trying out a 500 size SunnGas canister.
Don't think just tackle shops though, you can go to a camping and caravan store for gas canisters where they may be cheaper than a tackle shop.

You only have to heat the canister for seconds to liven it up, using a minute amount of gas.

Doing that doesn't last long enough to make my porridge or coffee in the bialetti or my dinner, and I need my saucepan for that.

Use a Ridgemonkey heated cover
Brilliant kit and get all the gas used even in winter
Just plug into a power bank and away you go......
