View Full Version : Coleman Camping Stove question.
I have a Coleman Micro Stove and recently bought a Campingaz cartridge for it from Tesco. Unfortunately it doesn't fit properly but may do if I force it down so the valve goes into it. Is this a good idea or should I count my losses and just buy the correct cartridge? Thanks.
DON'T even attempt what you suggest.It's highly dangerous as the gas will blow the stove out of the cannister and empty completely at high pressure.
Go and buy the correct cannister.

If it is a campingaz self sealing cart, Backpacking light do a convertor to coleman fitting for about a tenner, I've got one, useful when abroad when you can't find the normal coleman cartridges.

sapper1 is 5000% correct... Buy the correct canister...
CG user a unique connector. That CG cartridge is the wrong one. You need a screw on one.

Kabbooom comes to mind, did that one time and shot the canister across the camp site, did it with a lighter in the camp fire back in the day and like in slow motion it blew out of the fire and hit me between the eyes......Live and learn
