In my time fishing don't think I've ever had trouble with gas canisters. But my latest box of Coleman gas just seem hit and miss. Spells of low pressure then returning to normal.
Tried it on both my stoves Bulin and a Primus and still the same. Can't be both my stoves blocked can it?

Nope. Had exactly the same thing. Couldn't get my normal gas so bought a case of the Coleman ones. Had issues on both my bulin and cadac. 😡

Coleman gas is not as good as Cadac and GoSystem.

Coleman gas is just a butane propane mix, whereas GoSystem is iso-butane, butane and propane, better in low pressure and low temperature.

I also found that because the Coleman gas is not as 'strong' and takes longer to cook or heat water with, canisters run out faster.

A tip to get a more regular burn with Coleman gas is to heat up a small amount of water in a saucepan, then rest the canister in that as you cook or boil your kettle. Not ideal I know.

A better way than the pan of water method is to use a gas can cover from Fox, Trakker etc and then slip one of those tea bag type hand warmers into the hollow at the bottom of the can before you pop the cover on.👍

Which Coleman gas canisters are we talking about here? The c500 that has like a mountain outline picture on the can?

Ive been using those for about 4-5 years now without a problem. Only got two cans left so if its these and they have changed i want to avoid them.

Yes, Ive had this box since June' my point being it's not a temperature thing. I've now ordered twelve cans of go system from hull angling. And then I'll know if it's the stoves or the gas. But I'm convinced it's the gas, I've taken the primus apart and it's clear. We will see.
