hi new to camping got a campingaz double burner what gas bottle can i use.

Did you get a regulator with the stove?  If so then it will be a Campingaz regulator so you will need a Campingaz 904 or 907 butane bottle.

If you did not get a regulator then you can use any type of butane or propane gas such as Calor, provided you buy the correct regulator for the type of gas you choose.
Calor etc. are much cheaper than Campingaz but may not be available on the continent if you intend camping abroad.

Hi

You can use pretty much any gas bottle.  Pricewise I would stick to Calor.  You have three choices with Calor:

1) Blue butane bottle

2) Red Propane Bottle

3) Green Patio gas bottle (aslo propane)

You will need to buy a regulator depending on which bottle you choose

Typically youhave to place a deposit to get a calor gas bottle and also pay for the gas.  On subsequent visits you only pay for refill

Calor deposit is £29 (plus the cost of the gas)

Visit www.calor.co.uk for more info

hi thanks for that where can i get the 904 or 907 from

Lots of people on here reccomend a trip to your local waste re-cycling site.  They always have gas cylinders in stock & seem keen to see them re-used.  Calor is most widely available in the UK but not overseas.  Camping Gaz is available everywhere, but is a little more expensive, though some of their cylinders are smaller than Calor ones if space is an issue.  Propane (red) is best in winter as Butane (blue) starts to freeze at around 5 degrees centigrade.  Propane burns faster though so Butane is more economical.  I have 2 x Calor 4.5KG Butane for at home, with a Camping Gaz 907 for trips to europe.
