How long does 220g butane canister last?

about 3 to 4 hours

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.

Which gas is best for camping stoves?

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).

Is it OK to use gas stove in a tent?

Any sort of flame inside a tent is a huge fire risk. The limited ventilation inside a tent mean gas fumes will build up quickly leading to a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and explosion. Keep your stove away from your tent and always follow the safety instructions.

Is butane or LPG better for camping?

Propane is an effective choice of gas for when you most need gas as when it is colder, you’re more likely to want more appliances running that require gas. When it’s cold outside, (less than 5°C) butane is in a liquid state and therefore very low pressure and won’t effectively release gas for burning.
