Hi All, family camping newbie here (although used to do some motorcycle rally camping so not totally unfamiliar) so I apologise in advance for any seemingly daft questions.
We have a bunch of kit to take the young family camping, amongst the cooking kit we have both a Weber Q1200 Portable BBQ, and a Campingaz Xcelerate 600 ST (which came with a R907) Dual Burner Stove.
The Weber Q1200 currently runs off Weber mini disposable cartridges, but I'd like to preserve them for BBQing whilst away from camp/home (expensive!), so I am looking to purchase the 3in1 adapter which screws directly into the regulator pre-attached to the Q1200 and then clips onto a Calor Patio Gas cylinder. I don't really want to then also have to take the Campingaz R907 (for reasons of weight and space, and I also understand for UK camping Calor is cheaper and easier to obtain than Campingaz), so can I run the 600ST off a Patio Gas Cylinder?
The Campingaz Stove blurb just says "Runs off R904, R907, Butane/Propane Cylinder", and I can't decide if this means Butane or Propane, or a Butane and Propane Mix Cylinder (like the gas mix used in some little 100g camping cylinders). The Patio Gaz (which I understand is Propane) Regulator says it outputs at 37mb, whereas the Campingaz (which I understand is Butane) Regulator at 29mb - so even if I can run the 600ST stove off Propane only, does the small pressure difference matter? If not then I guess I'm OK to purchase a PatioGas clip on regulator, a length of 8mm low pressure hose, and a pair of jubilee clips, and can then run either the Q1200 or the 600ST from the 5kg Patio Gas Cylinder is this right?
In this event, is there likely to be any performance considerations (burn time etc) to take into account? Propane will be better in colder weather (or at least for the potentially chilly mornings) than the campingaz anyway wouldn't it?
Sorry for waffling on! Any advice gratefully received!
