What is the best gas for a camping stove?

Because propane has a lower boiling point it is preferential for cooking at higher altitudes where the air pressure is lower. It is also slightly less volatile than butane which makes it ideal as an all-round camping stove fuel where safety may be important (e.g. if there are kids around).

How long does a 220g gas canister last?

Each 220g of butane, more or less, will last about 3 to 4 hours on low heat, meaning you can really get your money’s worth with this type of gas. One of our Calor gas butane 15kg bottles could last, therefore, approximately, 238 hours on low heat.

Is it safe to use a camping gas stove in the house?

The short answer is no, you shouldn’t use a camping stove indoors, or any confined space with little ventilation for that matter. Why? Because when camping stoves burn, they can produce carbon monoxide (CO)—an odourless and colourless gas that can cause serious health problems, including death.

Which is safer butane or propane?

At the end of the day, both gases emit no long-term negative effects on the environment. Propane and butane are both safe, non-toxic, clean burning fuels that are a great source of energy.
