Product Information

These are some of the most ethical and sustainable courses of action you can take to get rid of your used gas canister. You can rest assured that you’re not harming the environment in any way and that aside from the cylinder, even the waste fuel can be recovered and recycled. In the UK, empty gas cylinders are sometimes disposed of alongside regular household waste then sorted out for recycling. But before you do this to your old gas cylinder, it must be fully emptied. If you use liquid fuel, make sure you empty it to the last drop, as there is always some surplus even when you think it is used up. To get rid of every last drop from the cylinder, it is pierced with a sharp object so that the remaining gas vaporises through a small hole. Usually, canisters that are emptied in this kind of way are generally ready for the recycling bin.

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. If the cylinders get too hot, they will normally expand at the base but they can only become explosive when exposed to fire and ignited in the process. Having said that, gas cylinders are relatively safe and may be used without hesitation. If you’re transporting the cylinder over a long distance, it is better to unscrew it first. While it is highly unlikely that the cylinder will unscrew itself, gas leaks are possible when the valve gets loose on a bumpy stretch of the journey. Whether you're into wild camping, motorcycle camping or you're just a hiker going on a day trip, the following is common knowledge... Even fewer knew that there are several dual fuel stoves and handy little adaptors you can get for your camping stove that will allow it to use any type of gas. 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.

How to Dispose of Gas Cylinders the Right Way

If you want our personal recommendations we would gladly recommend Coleman:However, if you’re travelling through different countries or out in the middle of nowhere, you can’t always find screw-on gas canisters. Alternatively, you can find a reputable waste-collection agency dealing with non-household wastes to ensure the canister is appropriately sorted and disposed of in the best way possible. Aside from alcohol stoves and liquid fuel stoves, canister stoves make up one of the most prevalent fuel-burning equipment for portable outdoor stoves. These gas canisters come in various sizes with different weights.
