So after some research i found out i can just use pure propane for hiking trips during winter/summer, and it won't have performance issues (what he said)..
Can i use jpg related with a standard gas burner?, or will the pressure be too much and i'll waste gas/melt my pot.
Thanks in advance.

They make refill adaptors to refill the little cans from the big cans. But what your picture shows ain't it.

Having said that, I use the refill cans. Last time I looked, I had trouble finding that style or refillable propane container though. They only had the tall skinny kind, like you'd use for a propane torch. Those work too, for camping, but I have a chuck box with a cubby that fits the stubbies.
You can refill the coleman cans, but they are built a lot lighter than the purpose made refillable cans. In general, it's worth refilling those. Saves money, stupid easy, etc...

I have used a wisperlite international for 20 years and have never had a problem with it. I've burned white gas, jp8, jp9, Regular-unleaded in various octanes without issue. The only drawback is some fuels don't burn as clean as others so you have to carry a little rag to clean off the soot if you are burning the low grade stuff.

Yeah i was thinking of going with the Coleman canister. (or anything smaller desu)
But on amazon i could only see a 6-pack of em' and i don't need that amount of canisters (will probably be a nuisance to give away too i reckon)
But yeah the blue skinny one's used for propane torch seems more sturdy/ideal.
Could probably chuck it in my backpack.

From the reviews it seems to be a solid stove, very versatile.

I use a picrel to refill my green tanks and to hook it up to a camp stove.
Using a chinkshit stove will only work for a very little while, the stove burns too hot. You need a good, titanium campstove or it will eventually die.
As for the refill adapter they're 22lbs iirc so you should get quite a few refills. Remember to change out green cans every few uses or replace the gasket on them to prevent leaking. I find lubricating them every now and then gives me the best cost/performance ratio.
They sell brass caps for the green tanks, they work much, much better than the little black plastic ones the green cans come with.

No, they aren't sturdier at all. The radius on the bottom is so small your stove will just tip over without being propped against something, especially when you try to add a pot and stir it.

I would say the most important thing is to never ever use picrel. The yellow cans, MAP, gas burns a lot hotter than even regular propane, it's used for soldering/brazing metals like copper and aluminum, which is a complete disaster on aluminum stoves.
So use a titanium stove and the green cans or propane for the easiest time.

You're assuming a particular use. I don't know what kind of stove OP has, but your concerns are all for backpacking style stoves that screw directly to the gas tank. If he has a coleman 2 burner type camp stove, he'll be fine.

Also, anyone trying to cook with MAPP should be given a reality show so we can all watch from the safety of our homes.

>refill my green tanks
Green tanks are like $9 per.
I bet I have 40 out in the shed.
Just buy another two pack when they run out.
Do I rent a big white tank and just refill them?
Crazy. I never thought about it.

I don't know, do you own a grill?

Anyplace that sells gas bbq grills can tell you where to get the tanks locally. You buy the first tank full then trade in the empty tank for a full one, usually. There are places that will fill the white tank but (atleast where I'm from) trading an empty for a full (plus fee obviously) is more common.

What this guy says. You need a proper fill rig to work with gas between pressurised containers.

You can just buy a filled one (the ones used for grills) for like $50. They're around $20-$25 to exchange for a filled one, which you can do almost anywhere. You just tell the clerk you want to trade your empty one for a filled one.
They're checked for damage when the company that refills them comes to collect and refill them.

The adapter is a DozyAnt I got on Amazon for like $15. It has a built in safety valve so you won't accidently fuck something up. It's solid brass, really solid feeling. It's probably the best one and affordable enough so don't cheap out, get the DozyAnt.

After 7 uses the filled tank and adapter pays itself off. Really consider getting some brass caps for the 1lb green tanks if you're thinking about doing this. They will leek a bit after the gasket wears.

Reminder that propane is hydroscopic and refilling those small cans is making them rust from the inside out

I've burned Diesel, kero, ULP, white gas and even butane in mine. I wouldn't try propane as I don't think the bottle would be up to it.

I guess get half a decade out of them and then get new bottles then. I've been using the same bottles for longer than that and it hasn't been an issue.

>>2270437
I haven't used that one, but I don't like the design. The fill rig should have a way to dump gas and this looks entirely passive.

OP here, i was thinking of going with either a blue propane torch one or the green coleman one.
Then use one of those titanium burners that has a hose extension.

It may depend on where you're getting propane, and no, it won't rust overnight. Just mentioning the propane that was originally in those disposable containers isn't the same as you use for refillables
