Product Information
Full details
The Primus Power Gas Cartridge is an essential companion for backpackers and campers who need a reliable, high-performance fuel source for outdoor cooking from spring through autumn. Designed with a blend of propane and isobutane, this cartridge offers consistent burner output even in near-freezing temperatures, though users should note that performance may decline significantly in extreme winter conditions compared to specialized sub-zero gas blends.

FAQs
Is this canister compatible with all camping stoves?
It is compatible with all stoves featuring a standard threaded valve (EN 417). It is not compatible with proprietary piercing-type stoves.
Can I use this in the winter?
It performs well in late autumn and early spring, but it is not a specialized winter gas. Expect lower performance in temperatures significantly below 0°C.
How do I know if the canister is empty?
The most accurate method is to weigh the canister. Subtract the tare weight printed on the canister from the total weight.
Can I store the canister attached to the stove?
It is recommended to detach the stove after each use to prevent accidental leaks and potential damage to the O-ring.
Are these canisters recyclable?
Yes, once completely empty, they can be recycled as scrap metal in many jurisdictions. Check with your local waste management facility.
Troubleshooting
Stove fails to ignite
Check that the canister is screwed on securely and that the stove's gas valve is open. Ensure the weather isn't too cold for the fuel to vaporize.
Weak flame or sputtering
If the canister is nearly empty, the pressure may be low. Replace with a fresh cartridge or ensure the canister is upright.
Gas leaking at the connection
Immediately turn off the stove valve, unscrew the unit, and check the O-ring on the stove for damage or debris.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Compact and lightweight for backpacking
- Universal threaded valve fits most major stove brands
- Reliable ignition performance in spring, summer, and autumn
Cons
- Not optimized for extreme high-altitude or sub-zero winter mountaineering
- 100g capacity may be insufficient for long-duration expeditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach the canister, ensure your stove valve is in the 'off' position. Hold the stove upright and screw the burner unit onto the threaded valve of the canister in a clockwise direction until snug—avoid overtightening to protect the threads. Always test the connection in a well-ventilated, outdoor area before ignition. To care for the product, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources above 50°C. Never puncture or incinerate the canister, even when it appears empty. To dispose of it, ensure it is completely empty by using it until the stove no longer lights, then check local recycling regulations regarding pressurized steel containers.
