Carrying Butane stove in pop-up truck Camper. 'Hawk' shell.

I assume you mean the butane itself and not the stove components.

I would put the cylinders in a sturdy box, with cushioning to keep them from banging around, in whatever storage area you find convenient. And I would not be overly concerned about it being vented.

You will get a lot more efficient/rapid heating from a propane stove.

Thanks coolmom42 ~ Yes just the cylinders. They have a padded case they 'live' in in the motorhome -see sig- in the propane compartment. Just heat water for coffee on short trips with the Butane ~ It is a lot smaller than my 3 burner Brunton ~ but don't have the room for it. Stove itself lives where I can find room or in cab of truck. Thanks again, Kate

Strange surge in posts regarding transport of hazmat. Was there some news report or recent magazine article that has everyone flustered?

Just newbies, I think. Haven't heard of any incidents.

CoolMom42 ~~ As for me ~ Not Newbee ~ see sig. Just checkin' to see if there was as STRONG a 'push' in keeping the small butane cylinders vented as with the propane tanks & 1# green bottles. All my PROPANE cabinets are vented and 'unlockable'. K

Can you put them in the truck bed through the access doors near the floor?

Make a padded bag or sleeve to keep them in.

You'd have to do some search for specific laws, but the idea is that small cylinders, I think up to 1 lb can be transported and used with minimal safety regulations.
When you have bigger cylinder, who can be lethal when something goes wrong- they require separate and vented compartment.
I noticed lately that lot of restaurant no longer use gas hook-ups, but they use portable stoves with those cup-sized cylinders.
My guess is that there have been too many restaurants fires and small cylinders make more sense safety-wise , even with extra cost.
Our son took us to Korean restaurant where food was cooked on our table. I sure would not like to have big propane cylinder on my table.

RickW ~ Thanks they are in a padded bag. Tomorrow will check to see if they will fit thru 'turn-buckle access ports

Kayteg ~~ Thanks. That seems like something I heard a while back but was wanting to check. 8oz cyl about the size of a TALL soda can.

Thanks All K

I have had a butane stove for over 10 years that lives in my sailboat. The stove is fantastic with the self lighter. My butane cans live down below in the cabin, where I have never had any leakage problem. I trailer my boat so it is banged around. They stay out there in -30 degrees to 100 degrees. No problem, great stove, just take the cylinders out of the stove when not in use.

There are a few different things you can do.
Now I have a propane stove in my camper so that isn’t an issue for me however I did want to carry a Propane BBQ/ 1 burner stove combo plus have a quick connect propane attachment on my camper for other propane powered items.
So I searched the internet for the correct size Propane BBQ/ 1 burner stove comb which I finally found. The reason for this model was that I had to have someplace to store it. On my 2017 Northern Lite 8-11 it has a pullout tray in the basement. This Propane BBQ / 1 Bruner stove fits in there perfectly. I bought the duel BBQ/ Stove unit so I can also cook outside if I want.

I have a couple of compartments on my camper that I can easily store the small 1 lbs disposable propane bottles in while traveling.
I also use these 1 lbs disposable propane bottles on my small 1 burner stove for snowmobiling they work great, and is small enough I also bring camping to give myself two burners to cook on outside.

I also added a 10ft propane hose in my propane cabinet where I have two 20 lbs tanks stored. There is a small brass breaker that I added the hose which has a 1/4 brass quick connect with safety valve. If I want to hook up any other propane powered appliance I can just pull the hose out of the compartment and hook it up.
