Edit
The final 2 adapters I reviewed (see: Butane Adapter Warning and Butane Adapters II) were actually for remote canister stoves -- stoves where the fuel together with the burner are physically split upward together with a fuel hose runs betwixt the two.
What nigh upright canister stoves, what's available for them? An upright canister stove is the type where the stove screws correct into the transcend of the canister. With a "long" canister similar the inexpensive 100% butane ones, it's most practical to lay them on their side -- which would exit your stove pointing sideways. What nosotros require is an adapter amongst a 90° angle.
Turns out in that location is only such an adapter.
This one, dissimilar the final two, isn't also bad. Let's convey a look.
The legs crimp upward underneath for storage. Nice feature.
How does it work? Like the final adapter I reviewed, this adapter has 2 hooks, a larger together with a smaller.
The larger claw at the bottom clips onto the neckband some the valve on the canister. The smaller claw fits through the notch on the canister.
The canister is together with thus rotated nigh 1/16th of a plough to the right, locking the canister inward place.
The transcend of the adapter has a threaded connector, a connector that is the equivalent of the connector on the transcend of a measure threaded canister. One overnice affair nigh this adapter is that in that location is a valve within the adapter. In other words, if you lot claw upward a canister of gas, it won't spray all over if you lot didn't claw upward the stove first.
Note that the trunk of the adapter is plastic. I convey read reports on the mesh of the plastic melting when used amongst a larger pan, especially amongst simmering type cooking. Use caution on long, dull burns, especially amongst larger pots together with pans. Larger pots together with pans may reverberate a lot of oestrus dorsum to the adapter. I convey non personally had whatever problems amongst the plastic melting. If i were using a stove that has a meaning amount of thermal feedback, perchance something similar a Coleman F1, in that location powerfulness live melting problems. A melted adapter could motility a gas explosion. Monitor the adapter closely the start fourth dimension you lot purpose it amongst whatever given stove.
Well, let's claw it upward together with run into how it goes. Today's stove is a Markill Hot Rod. Note the hitting similarity of the burner to the burner on a Vargo Jet-Ti, a Kovea SupaLite, together with a Snow Peak LiteMax. Note also the similarity of the valve to the Snow Peak GigaPower (GS-100) stove. Apparently, stove companies contract out their travel to a relative few factories inward Korea together with China.
Ah. There nosotros are, all hooked up.
And, when nosotros opened upward the valve on the stove, it fires upward nicely.
Stoves lose a bang-up bargain of efficiency if there's whatever wind, thus I commonly purpose a windscreen.
With a windscreen, you lot could larn oestrus attain upward that could a) could melt the plastic adapter or worse b) overheat the canister. Overheating a canister could number inward a catastrophic explosion. Monitor the canister temperature frequently and consistently with your hand. If it feels hot, TURN information technology DOWN at in i trial or opened upward up the windscreen more.
I experienced no problems amongst the ready to a higher house on a relatively cool twenty-four threescore minutes menstruum (approx. 50F/10C ambient temperature), amongst the stove shown. Every twenty-four threescore minutes menstruum together with every stove is different. Monitor your stove closely.
DISCUSSION
This adapter is clearly the best of the lot. It has an internal valve thus you lot won't spray butane all over if you lot forget to claw upward the stove first. It has legs that are reasonably stable together with forestall the canister from rolling. Recall that if the canister rolls, you lot could convey a dangerous, uncontrolled flare. I tin bathroom run into that this adapter could live useful for twenty-four threescore minutes menstruum hikes, picnics, car camping, motor touring, etc. inward warm atmospheric condition (recall that 100% butane needs to live at or to a higher house 40F/5C for in that location to live sufficient operating pressure level together with that the canister will chill amongst use).
However, for serious backpacking, I don't run into it, at to the lowest degree for me. First, it's extra weight (78g/2.75oz). Second, it's to a greater extent than bulk. Third, it's extra trivial (not bad though). Lastly, that connexion is not as secure every bit a regular backpacking connection. In champaign conditions, could that connexion travel loose? Somewhat unlikely, but it could happen, together with that could live bad, real bad, if the gas were to proceed to stream but the connexion were loose. Something to at to the lowest degree consider.
I volition give this adapter a somewhat tentative "recommended" rating. It is upward to the private to attain upward one's hear whether the adapter is useful for his or her detail mode of stove use.
Thanks for joining me on some other Adventure inward Stoving.
