Hello!

I'm just about to buy myself a camping gaz camping chef double burner and grill, but am looking for advice about which regulator to buy.  It all depends on which gas is cheaper/longer lasting etc. 

Is it cheaper to buy calor gas bottles and refills or camping gaz?    Also, is there a difference in availability?

cheers,

Kate

Calor gas: available all over the UK but not abroad, larger bottles and slightly cheaper.

Camping Gaz: available all over the UK and abroad ( can be difficult to find in Scottish highlands and islands), smaller bottles.

Lots of threads with different opinions as to which is best on here if you do a search.

Welcome to website.

thanks, Bob.

I'll do a search of the site for some more opinions, but it looks like I'll prob. buy a camping gaz regulator, as it'll be useful if I'm abroad.

I do love gadgets! 

Hello,

Can you use calor or camping gaz with any camping stove?

 I have a small blue calor gas bottle 4.5 kg. small dumpy one with handle. It has a screw down knob to shut off gas and a threaded side pipe which the regulator must screw onto (thread on outside of pipe). If i can use this what type of regulator do I need?

Thanks,

john

John,

I've been looking into this before I buy and it seems that, provided you have the correct regulator and it's the right gas/gas mix, either camping gaz or calor can be used for most stoves.  places like outdoormegastore.co.uk sell both camping gaz and calor regulators for about a fiver, which I know both work for the gamping gaz double burner chef.

Thank you all for the advice... Calor regulator is on its way!!!
