    Is it worth the hassle for saving $8? For 30x + boils on a Jetboil for example?
    I mean the pie you buy on the way to you hunting spot is worth twice what your cooking gas costs are. LOL
    Tight arses!!

    I'm happy with the title of tight arse. Means I'm happy for the kids or others to borrow gear. A 9kg cylinder at $25 works out around 82 fills or 32 cents a fill for the little cans.

    What do you do with 20 odd 1/4 full canisters tho?
    On about day 6 of a fiordland trip I thought "what the heck is in that bucket,we havent even opened it" so I opened it. My mate had flown in a 20l bucket full of 1/2-1/4 full cans!!!
    I left a bloody 18 pack of 440mls behind to save room ffs. No not one of them was used and yes they were all flown back out.

    refill your disposable canisters

    The Jet Boil is awesome, been using mine for years, always got heaps of use out of each gas can, last 4 day trip used 1 part can and a full with 2 of us using it flat out, using it not just to boil but it also heat fry pan

    I still can't get mine to seal into the cylinder, despite filing off the thread identical to Vietnamcam's photo, may be my bottles are slightly different. The fitting seems to thread all the way in, just doesn't seal without the rubber o-ring, although the plunger should seal against the seal inside the cylinder valve
