Campingaz C206 GLS Gas Cartridge - Blue, 190 g

I had to give these a go, because at £2 a can, this is about as cheap as "disposable" gas gets.I am using them in my 50-odd year old Super Bluet stove (I inherited it from my grandfather, and he has been dead for more that 40 years, which gives an idea of the minimum age of my stove!Yes, C206 cartridges fit (and work perfectly) in my 50-year old "C200" gas stove.I was a bit suspicious, because the picture shows a butane cartridge, but the description much further down says a 80/20 butane/propane mix. £2 seemed to cheap for a b/p mix, and like I said, the picture shows a butane can.Certainly 80/20 b/p mix cans used to exist, and they were marked "Super", and say Butane and Propane on the can - I have one in my stove at the moment.I ordered FIVE cans at the incredible price of about £2 each - so 5 cans for a tenner.And, yes, they came next day (a Sunday!).b/p mix cans would have been better, and if i had paid £5 a can, i would be disappointed, and returning them, but for £2 a can, I am delighted with whatever type of can!Do the math(s):5 cans (C206) = 5x190g gas = 950g of decent "brand leader" gas for a tenner.the other cheap option is "aerosol" (CP250) cans that fit something like a CG Bistro stove - a decent price for those is a tenner (including delivery) for 4, which is 880g gas for a tenner. (unless you buy some no-name brand, when they are a tad cheaper)the more modern screw-on/clip on cans (e.g C500, CV470 from Coleman, CampinGaz respectively), you are payingC500s are £25 for 6 (which is 440g x6 = 2640g gas), so that works out a bit under £10 quid for 1000g gas.CV470s are £26 for 4 (which is 450g x4 = 1800g gas), so that works out at 13 quid for 900g gasSo these "old-school" C206 cans are pretty competitive on price, and to be honest, propane only makes a difference if you are under about 7 Celcius (about 45F). This is England, not Canada (!) and most folks only do 1-season camping, and maybe 3-season camping at a push, so a straight butane cartridge is just fine me!But like I said at the start, be aware that you will get Butane cartridges, not the "Super" Butane/Propane cartridges mentioned in the description!

Exactly what I wanted. These refills are getting more difficult to find as they are for an older type of gas stove.

This gas canister works well ,ease of use.

I brought these in case of emergencys.Have used them many times over the years while camping and caravaning....Now think of them as an standbuy if my electric happened to go down.

Very good

Once upon a time, pierceable cartridges were all more or less created equal. The Campingaz Labogaz burners I use at work, similar to the old Bleuet camping burners, take the old-style pierceable cartridges but they never saw a genuine Campingaz cartridge for cost reasons.However, I accidentally discharged a non-Campingaz cartridge into a confined space last year which made me realise how the cartridges we grew up with (as a keen camper too) are quite dangerous compared to the modern removable cartridges.The current Campingaz pierceable cartridge fits the old equipment and looks just as it always did, but includes a new safety feature up its sleeve. The clever people at Campingaz have included a diaphragm which instantly seals the cartridge should the piercing pin be removed. This is a huge leap forward which instantly makes older Campingaz and other compatible equipment far safer. It stopped me resorting to scrapping my burners for newer removable types.Forget the cheap cartridges, it's well worth the extra few pence for something of this quality.

Paired with lamp that didn't fit

For a Camping Gas stove only use their canister.
