I have a Primus Gas Lamp and 2 burner cooking set. They are both 3/8 connection.
I'd like to know if there is an adaptor that will allow either of the above appliances to be used with a cartridge style bottle. I saw a two shapes of cartridge in K-Mart today, one shaped like a an aerosol can and the other was shorter, squatter and had larger volume.
If so, are there any advantages/disadvantages I should be aware of?? Safety issues?
I'm trying to reduce weight for the roof rack by eliminating a lareg gas bottle.
I looked at a number of brass fittings in K-Mart however I couldn't work out what went where, and there's all those codes etc.
Any help from anyone learned would be very much appreciated.
Cheers

Thought of it, but didn't do it.
I have a 1kg and 2kg gas bottles that work
well for the smaller stove, and they are lighter on the roof.
Std fitting so easily refilled at a servo, and if the 4.5kg runs out, I have spare gas for a few days.
