Gas Cartridges
« on: 04 August 2008, 20:21:08 »

For those campers with cartridge type stove burners/heaters/lamps/etc

Altho since the price of oil going up.....(these where 2quid cheaper then) still seems a good deal to me.......unless anyone else can find cheaper...

That lot'd get me to the end of the road on my morning commute.  ;D

.. while we're on the subject, does anyone know how to get hold of refillable camping Gaz bottles cheep? Idly thought about getting an extra 907 cylinder at the weekend so I don't have to keep borrowing my parents one - until I discovered they are 45 quid. :o

Saw a few at the local council tip but they're a bit eagle eyed there. :-X

My local color shop is summat silly like £8 for 4...

And i know i paid £2.50 last year for a single one coz i was worried i would run out.......in a local camping shop in Bridport...

Ive not looked at Swindon Camping shops........if your were going to Newent i would ask you to get me some......Tis excellent price that £5 for 4....Thats the price argos were selling at a few months ago for pack of 12......£1.25 each can.

Doesn't stop you selling them on Ebay though. They have value and posession is 9/10ths. I guess Calor aren't clued up or they'd be chasing them off Ebay.

Will have to keep an eye out, and try the tenner. I suspect they are supposed to return them to Camping Gaz when they appear at the tip, but a tenner could avert their gaze for long enough, I'm sure.

Specially if you park near by with your boot open, and the car shielding the gaze of the foreman  :y

And when he says yes and turns away, put in 2, or 3, or......
