Iso Butane Gas

I did not say it was important. Butane does not flow in cold conditions. This Iso brand has a mix of gas that makes tha makes it flow better in cold conditions. there was a post about this recently which I can`t find. I think that the post gave the proportion of gas mix. Regards G.T.

GT,

Try this thread ;)


Cheers Kev

Thanks Kev. Regards G.T.

The gas is not a mixture - its 100% isobutanne.

The molectular structure is different and this lowers it freezing temperature.

Far out....I did know there was a difference LOL......I have just bought where ever and what ever and I have had absolutely no trouble : )
Stove has always worked just fine.

Thanks Fred. Now I see what the `Iso` means. I originally thought it was blend of gas so as to make it flow better when cold. Obviously it is a different gas. I paid $4.76 for a 4 pack today from Big W. I thought that this was a reasonable price. Regards G.T.

I have had one of these single burner stoves and carry the pressure packs ( usually 4 in a pack) all the time in the vehicle and had no issues whatsoever......I made some side panels for the stove to protect the flame from the wind so that I don't waste gas boiling the kettle.....they are a great addition and so compact and quick to set up and easy to use and you can buy the cans from anywhere and had no trouble with any of the can contents (gas) at all.
Where I live and go camping the temperature seldom is below 5 degrees C and so I cannot speak for those who live in colder climes and who use these stoves or any gas appliance.

Yep! I have two stoves as shown in Redbakk`s photo plus a mantle lamp ( Companion) No problems with any one of these. From what I understand if you put a skillet or a large pot, pan or what ever, so that it overlaps the gas cartridge area , flames from the stove could be made to heat up the gas cartridge area with disaster type consequences. Care needs to be taken. Regards G.T.
