Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me with this. I've just returned from a weekend at Dicky's Beach and had trouble with my gas bottle. Its a 1.25kg bottle and I have a single burner that connects directly to it. In the afternoon/night no probs, but in the morning it wont light??? The gas only stays alight while the lighter is on it. As soon as I take the lighter away it goes out. The first morning it was left out so I thought maybe dew, so the next night I brought it in to the tent, but no luck the next morning. It was only refilled last week. Wasn't overly cold at night. Anyone out there had similar problems or know of a solution.
Thanks
Simmo (the cold coffee drinker)

Dickies Beach near Coloundra?
Most probably only got down to +15 degrees at night at the worst.
Maybe a partly blocked jet and the cooler temp means less gas gets through.
Give the jet a clean first before checking the other valid replies.
Have had it happen before on our old companion stove.

Agreed. At 15 deg C a high pressure burner should work OK.
