Safety notice:
Install and activate your common sense before attempting using any fuel delivery system for a lantern or stove that is not specifically indicated by your items manufacturer. Pressure and flash-points do change between fuel types and delivery methods so testing in a safe place before going into the field really should occur. Saving money and providing the means to widen your camp fuel sources do provide value but not when used without caution.
These methods have worked fine for me in my environment but your mileage may vary.
I had mentioned in another thread the ability to use adapters to provide the ability to substitute 16.4oz propane bottles for Lindel valve ISObutane bottles and CB, or as they are commonly sold as, "butane gas cartridges." To clarify these are the items I am referring to.
16.4oz propane cylinders.
Lindal valve fuel canister.
Butane gas cartridges.
And the Kovea adapters are what I use.
16.4oz LPG to Lindal valve adapter: PN#VA-AD-0701 - Available, but for some reason not listed on their website right now.
Butane gas cartridge to Lindal valve adapter: PN#TKA-9504 Use and operation guide.
And something that is new that I will pick up is the two way adapter, when I leave base camp with my ruck for extended travel I try not to use more than one fuel cannister at a time which is hard to do when you want to use your fuel for light and cooking, but this little tool might very well help me manage that a bit better. Time will tell and after I've tinkered with it, so will I.
Two way adapter, Lindal valve to Lindal valve: PN#KA-2105 Use and operation guide.
I've used all three fuel types and cannisters with my camp stove,my rucksack stove, and my small lantern. The only thing I would warn you about is that some cannisters work better or worse when oriented into certain positions like laying on their sides or even completely inverted. Altitude and temperature make a difference as well and the higher up you go with canisters the ISObutane Lindal valve canisters seem to perform better especially if you can invert them.
Now with all that said it would be nice if people would post their results here in this thread so that we could all know which substitutes work best with which camping stoves and lanterns.
Best wishes,
