We recently bought a double-ring camping stove (campingaz Camping Chef is its name) but were told we needed to get a special 901 or larger gas canister for it. Went off to buy one later and funf that the smallest size is over £40 and then costs over £11 to refill - even though it takes the same amount of gas as a normal small disposable camping gas canister (the blue ones) and wouls nly last an hour or two ion the double stove.

Can this be right? If you have a dual burner camping stove, does that mean you have to be ripped off for the gas? I like the idea of a refillable canister for green reasons but i had no idea it would be this expensive. Does anyone know of a better option of any kind? TIA.

No, unfortunately it was one of those Army surplus thingies who set up shop in a town/village hall or church of a weekend. It was outside Pitlochry and we were up there last October just for a weekend.

DH said we paid £35.

Worth phoning the shops here in town, though! They might have some other leads that will be more affordable.

It's a thought. That does sound a very steep price - 60 quid.
