Jet Boil or the likes - Best Isobutane choices for the winter and re-filling.

[LandCruiserPhil]

Some Isobutane fuels work better than others in the winter. Below good info link

How to re-fill the small (100g) isobutane fuel cans

The adapter to re-fill the small canisters is ~$35

That said if we have over 10 CSC members interesting in re-filling I propose CSC purchase 1 adapter to share with CSC members

Thoughts/Interest?

FYI, I have hundreds of new isobutane canisters. I would be willing to sell a few cases if anyone is interested, I have 100, 250 and 500's. All are jetboil, msr or snowpeak.

Reduce, reuse, recycle, great initiative! Now if I can just cut down the carbon footprint on my 80....

Interesting! I think jetboil might be ok given I have used mine in some seriously cold weather and it has always worked. would be really interested in being able to refill the tanks especially the few small ones I use the most in my backpack.

I have used this for making my jetboil work better in very cold weather.


@peacesells63 , what price are the various side canisters and I’m in for buying a few or even a case if others want to share in the cost.

I bought an adapter so I can use standard Coleman propane canisters with my msr stove. Works great in cold weather, cheaper fuel and more readily available too. I am not backpacking, so what's another 8 ounces in the back of my wagon?
