I bought gas cannisters and got out the postal scale and weighed the new ones and partially used ones. The GigaPower medium cannisters weigh 13 oz. with 7.76 oz. of fuel; the Brunton medium cannister weighs 12.6 oz with 8 oz fuel. The Brunton is a 3-season mix, whereas the GigaPower is a 4-season mix. I used both last year and honestly the Brunton cannisters lasted a day longer and the cold was no problem. I have heard that the Brunton cannisters are no longer made. Has anyone else heard this? I purchased these at Sports Chalet yesterday.

Regardless of which brand, I am depressed that about 40% of the weight is the metal can (5 oz.) I guess you also carry a metal bottle when you use white gas too and it probably weighs more than 5 oz. White gas is definitely cheaper - but at what point do you save weight by going with white gas?
