This site is recreational, so I have a camping question.Santa has been programed to bring me a Bluu Camping Stove, A Chinese knock-off of the JetBoil System, and far less $.The question is the stove system is made for those iso-butane canisters. I know I can get an adapter that allows those disposable propane cans.I think propane burns cooler, but is under higher pressure to compensate. If I add the adapter will the higher pressure damage a butane system?Fill’08 GL 1800 Pulling a ’80 Eagle 1 Trailer or ’12 Roll A Home (wide bed, brakes)GWRRA

Well likely no but with "Made in China" I can not be sure of that.One thing I am sure of.. What happens if you get the proper mixture of Propane and air and there is a spark or flame?(You land 2 counties over) (Well that was the joke answer but the teacher liked it and said "Exactly" after the class got done laughing.. I'm sure you get the idea)

Vapor pressure of propane is 122 psi at 70F and Butane is 16.3 psiMay also need a replacement jet to get the air/fuel mix correct.I would not operate the stove on propane in an enclosed area. Not sure it would be safe anywhere unless rated.

Let us know how many blue canisters it uses for 2 steaks, I had a Chinese grill once that used 4 canisters and still raw meat, ended using the oxi-acetylene rosette on the on the 2 steaks.navrgator

I have used a Jet-Boil for a long time. The little canister that fit in the pot will make me a couple of cups of coffee a day, and 4-5 Mountain House meals, and last at least a week. Mostly I use the larger canisters, unless wanting to pack smaller. What reason to hook propane up to that kind of stove?

Haven't upgraded to steaks yet, but I did put in 1 cup of room temp water. Took 60 seconds to a hard boil.

I have a Coleman camp stove (grill on left, burner on right). I have a Stay-A-While Deluxe adapter:

I connect the 12' gas grill hose that comes with the Stay-A-While to the top port on the adapter and connect the other end to regulator on the Coleman stove - where the butane bottle normally goes.

You do you.
You can keep 2-3 fuel cans in the space of a propane bottle. IMHO, unless you want heat at the same time, a battery/LED is better for light.
I still carry propane heater in pickup for emergency. And I am working to make fridge work on 1 lb bottle, but am trying to get away from propane.

just as a back-up. I carry the propane cans for a lantern and / or a heater. I think I'm going down to Academy Outdoors store. They had the small butane cans (100 gms) for $4.99 and the next size up for $5.99.
