Seen lots of suggestions peeing on it and sleeping with it hand wamer etc etc

and as we all know the gas Can covers DONT WORK AT ALL
Sooo
if your struggling in the winter with butane gas not working due to freezing conditions its well worth keeping a silicon wrist band and a strip of copper roof flashing in your bag

It is the very best solution IMO it is explained and demonstrated in the video its very Simple !....

Great idea but surely that only works with a 'stove on top of the canister' set up, or am I missing something?

Be aware if you plan to refill the 1lb Coleman bottles that new ones need a mod to allow them to fill, Coleman must have caught on.

So long as you have the old one's Gerry you'll be alright. .
I had loads of the old ones as I have a coleman briefcase style double burner that worked off the 1lb bottles, when I first had it you could pick up 2x 1lb bottles up for a tenner from millets, it was a cracking bit of kit for two pots on the go at the same time and not overly large (bear in mind it was years before Fudgemonkey and their duel stove efforts), now your lucky if you can pick up 1 bottle for anywhere near a tenner otherwise I would still be using it.

COLEMAN FOLD N GO

The one in the link only paid about 30 quid for it when they first came out never knew there was an adapter for refilling them back then I used to recycle the bottles at the tip loads of them.

It looks like the newer bottles have changed but still a few of the older ones about might have to buy a couple of the old ones and keep them, do you have a link to the adapter please Gerry.

That will also explain why mine won't refill
Anyone know what to do
They have obviously stuck a valve inside the bottle to stop liquid flowing into it

Luckily I have the old bottles and I have no problem filling
them however a mate of mine that lives too far away from me bought a refill adaptor on my recommendation and has had big problems then when Audioguy Paul mentioned you have to do a mod on the new bottles last night I jumped straight on the phone and asked him and sure enough he had just bought 2 new bottles !!!
I cant find anything on the net and waiting for Audioguy to help us out with the info ?


EXACTLY HOW I DO IT IN THIS VIDEO LINKY POO

IAN the adaptor I use to refill is cheapest from china if you dont mind waiting ? LINKY POO
