Has anyone had experience with the small gas stoves run with gas cartridges. How long does a cartridge last ?? Many thanks regards Jinki

Hey Jinki,
These stoves are excellent as a
lunch stop stove or morning tea to heat the kettle or fry and egg or steak. I will offer a word of warning, don't rely on them in cold climates as the gas turns to liquid inside the can and you have to warm the can to turn the liquid back to gas. We had this experience in the
Vic High Country a few years back and it was fun trying to figure out why our gas supply had somehow run low or so we first thought.
Apart from this they are an excellent item to travel with as a backup stove and the gas catridges last a long time for the cost.
Stuart.

We use ours for a back-up and day trips. Great stove for coffee breaks. Just
check around for the prices though. Ours cost $19.95 from a discount chain store - Crazy Prices, you know, those stores that sell stock from other stores that have gone bust etc. I have seen exactly the same stoves at camping stores, Big W, hardware stores etc, ranging from $30 to $65.00. Can't find any difference from the one I bought other than a change of brand name.
