Isobutane Fuel Canister

Premium camping gas

When it comes to camping gas, it’s tempting to buy the cheapest stuff you can find. After all, they’re all the same, right? Well, actually, not quite. The basic blends tend to be mostly comprised of butane, with just a little isobutane and/or propane in the mix. This isn’t as efficient as premium canisters, which use a superior mix of these gases for optimum performance over a wider range of conditions, even in colder temperatures or as the canister empties. For example, GSI’s gas contains 70% isobutane, 25% propane and 5% butane. Plus, their canisters come in three different sizes, ensuring there’s an option for every trip, from quick ‘fast and light’ overnighters to extended backpacking expeditions.
