just curious if its possible to use standard coleman type propane canisters (
http://www.coleman.com/coleman/colemancom/detail.asp?product_id=5412A700&categoryid=2010) with the standard butane/propane type stoves, like the MSR or jetboil types.....
and adapter of some sort would be required.... is there a commercially availible one out there???
has anyone out there tried propane with this type of stove?? Safety issues????
thanks for reading, any input would be greatly appreciated....
Thanks!
Nope. because the MSR/jetboil type stoves use isoproane/butane blends, not pure propane - which those heavy green canisters are. I've fiddled about with refilling those - more trouble than it's really worth.
Trust me, you don't want to try anything this whacky - it will be dangerous. If you can't buy real isopro canisters for your stove because they are expensive, consider making a homemade alcohol stove like many of us (including myself) carry in a lot of cases. A litre of methyl hydrate costs a couple of bucks at the hardware store and you can backpack on it for a couple of weeks or more.
