Coleman C300/C500 Performance Screw On Gas Cartridge, for Camping Stoves, Compact and Resealable Canister

Product Information

The handle on the pot isn't the best, in fact its a little flimsy. It is made from the same neoprene sleeve and I found when the pot was filled up the handle wasn’t much help in keeping it level or that well supported.

Some people seem to think that certain brands give a more consistent flow and let you use the full canister better. But that’s not widely experienced, there’s no obvious consistency in which are the best/worst brands, and I don’t know of any reason that would be true (ultimately, they are just metal pots filled with gas).I have learned my lesson: NEVER use Coleman Performance gas! I very strongly urge you to avoid their products, because it seems to me they may well have a quality-control issue. At best, not disclosing quite openly the limitations of their product also raises questions about their integrity. Trust is a binary thing: you either trust someone, or you don’t. Coleman’s product failed me, and I gave them the opportunity to deal with that in a constructive manner. They didn’t, and instead opted to suggest it was my failure. I wasn’t after compensation. I wasn’t after free products. I most certainly wasn’t after them trying to blame me for their product’s failure! Not just me And that simply means that you cannot trust it. After all, it’s a gamble whether or not Coleman Performance Gas will or will not work. YOU may be happy to take that gamble, but certainly am not. In cold weather camping, I need to be able to trust in, and rely on my kit. As I’ve clearly demonstrated, Coleman Performance Gas is (at best) unreliable. Anyone who is happy to go cold-weather camping with known-to-be unreliable critical kit needs to give their head a wobble. To add insult to injury, when you raise this legitimate concern with Coleman, they immediately blame you. To be fair, Ed also blamed me, and you implied blame, which raises the question of whether the pair of you works for Coleman in some capacity, and are simply trying to do a not-so-subtle PR exercise to undo brand damage. It’s important to be aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide when using a camping stove. Avoid cooking inside your tent or in an enclosed area, as gas build-up can be fatal. Always cook in well-ventilated areas, and never use your gas stove in your tent as a heater. Finally, the stove set up (e.g. stove model, windshield, heat reflector, heat exchangers on the pots) is a much bigger factor than the canister type. This guide gives a simple explanation of the different types of camping gas available, which one you need for your camping stove and where you can find them.

Plus, I’ve included details of some little known adaptors that will allow you to use any gas cylinder on your camping stove and three stoves that will take more than type of canister.Not that the lighter or matches are needed as the stove uses a Piezo ignition switch which makes life a whole lot simplier, especially when you are cooking in poor weather. However, if you’re travelling through different countries or out in the middle of nowhere, you can’t always find screw-on gas canisters. Having given two talks on camping stoves at recent festivals, one of the key things I realised was that not everyone knows about the different types of gas canisters available for camping stoves. We use a selection of couriers to get your products to you, these vary depending on the size of the item, destination of delivery, and whether it is a priority delivery or standard delivery. Chrome-plated pan supports and feet are rust resistant and make it easy to ensure the stove is stable on uneven ground. Once your meal is prepared, the pot has a neoprene cover with a handle that is easy to hold without the risk of burns. The pot comes with a secure lid, complete with drinking hole to keep your beverage or food warm.

Specifically, with a ‘dual fuel’ stove below or one of the adaptors below, you can use multiple types of gas cylinder, which will maximise your chances of finding gas canisters all over the world, wherever you are. It’s a good way to save money too as the alternatives are often cheaper. Allow me to tell you about Coleman’s response: they refuse to accept any responsibility, and (excuse the pun) proceeded to gas-light me. Here’s what they said: The Fyrestorm stove is a large but lightweight stove, which is ideal for 1-2 persons hiking or camping. Coming in at 20x13cm and weighing a total of 500g and the pot supplied can hold 1.3L so it’s a great balance between size and weight. We are only able to comment on the testing we have done in controlled conditions and hope you have confidence to continue to use Coleman gas in the future.”A better handle would have been nice to have seen, something with a more strength and support as pouring a litre of boiling water and spilling this over you won’t be much fun.
