Hi new to camping and have three short trips planned in the Lakes and Yorks in the next month. Have just bought and Campingaz camping chef stove and wondered what the best gas cylider to get for it any advise greatly appreciated! Also any advice on good places to look for second hand equipment!

Thanks :-)

i think campingaz runs off butane (blue cylinders).

you can get second hand cylinders to refill from the tip, ebay, freeads, freecycle, cheapcycle, preloved etc!

hope that helps?

Many thanks Mia :-)

Hi - we're new to camping too and have the same stove. We were advised to go to Go Outdoors and get out bottle there. The guys at Go Outdoors advised us not to get the Camping Gaz cylinders as they are more expensive to refill. So we got the 907 ( I think) 4.5kg butane (in a blue bottle). That was £29.99 for the hire of the bottle plus £12 to get it filled. And then it's £12 each fill up.

But also someone else advised me to go to the local tip and pick up an empty bottle from there.

We just did it through the store as we didn't really know what we were doing - lol.

Happy Camping. x
