Just got back from two weeks in Bavaria where we stayed on an American base campsite.  They had great camping gear mainly by Coleman and it was half the price it would be here in UK.  We picked up a Sportcat heater for around £15 but I thought we couldn't take the gas bottles on the Tunnel on our return.

I did have one in the car - oops - but really could do with some more now.

The cheapest I can find online is £5.01 here but am loathe to pay that when the bottles on the american base were $2.45 (£1.22)

Anyone know of stockists?

Thanks FB and Dave.

I assume you can use the same cylinders as you do on the blackcat too so perhaps thats the route to go down.  The heater is for very occasional use and you can get 14 hours from one canister so I don't see me needing lots of it.

If I had known we could take the gas on the tunnel I would have bought a slab of the cylinders - 12 for $25 (£12.50)!!!!!

Ah well you live and learn!

I don't think these are what people call EN417 threaded cartridges, that was my mistake.

I think he's talking about these



This is its thread





BTW: I think EN417 says nothing about threads.
