 On average how long will a 7Kg Butane cylinder last then? I was going to buy the 4.5Kg but the guy in the local camping store told me it would barely last two weeks with my double burner stove. Anyway there was less than £2 difference between them. On another thread someone said the smaller one would last years.

thanks Stuart

We have one of the small ones and it lasted us two weeks in summer and random trips since and we still have it. I suppose it depends on how often you are going to use it and how long you are going away for.
