G,,day i admit to owning and using them . they can be very convenient , especially to lend to someone that does not understand liquid fuel . and for $7.oo i had to . worth it for the globes . kerry
@kerry460 If it's still there, I know where there is a burner for those piercing canisters (more than $7, though...). Cheers Tony
@shagratork Trevor, I think the pierceables are the "modern" 200gram ones, these can be found for 1.5€ and up a piece (but not the CG brand ones, they are more expensive). But, like Kerry @kerry460 says, worth it for the globes! (and the gas cans, and the lanterns, .....) Best regards, Wim
hehe on some beach or another, as a young boy, I was sent to change the cartridge because the boiling was too slow. It went pssst as I released it..ooooh interesting...I buried it in the cold sand. I put the new cartridge in and I returned stove to the parents for their tea. Then I went back to my little heap of sand with some matches. That was a good afternoon.... taught me a lot. Aged 10 perhaps...
Those canisters make quite decent funnels if you cut out the bottom with a rotary can opener and solder a piece of copper pipe into the bottom. Easy to put a piece of felt in for a filter too.
Ugh! Camping Gaz!! My longstanding memory is of packing one in my motorcycle pannier along with some food. Arriving at camp, the pannier was opened to find everything covered in a stinking frost - leaked Gaz! Every consumable item destroyed. Too much vibration from a rigid rear end (the bike) had caused the valve to open. Bed and Breakfast from then on . . .
