Frequently Asked Questions

Which gas cartridges fit my camping stove?▾

Compatibility depends on the connection type: Most modern camping stoves use screw-on cartridges with EN417 standard threads. Older models use pierceable cartridges. Before purchasing, check your stove's connection type to ensure the cartridge fits securely and precisely.

What is the difference between screw-on cartridges and pierceable cartridges?▾

Screw-on cartridges are threaded onto the stove and can be removed again. Pierceable cartridges are pierced once into a valve and remain on the device until completely empty. Screw-on cartridges are now more widely used and safer to handle.

Which gas cartridge is suitable for cold temperatures or winter camping?▾

For cold conditions, gas cartridges with a special butane-propane mixture or a high isobutane content are recommended. These mixtures vaporize reliably even at sub-zero temperatures and deliver stable flame performance – ideal for winter camping and high alpine tours.

How do I dispose of empty gas cartridges in Switzerland?▾

Empty gas cartridges must not be disposed of in household waste. In Switzerland, they can be returned free of charge at retail outlets, recycling centers or special collection points for metal packaging. Make sure the cartridge is completely empty and depressurized.

Are all gas cartridges compatible with all outdoor stoves?▾

No, not all gas cartridges fit every stove. The most common standard is the EN417 screw thread. Additionally, there are proprietary systems from brands such as Campingaz or Jetboil. An adapter like G-Works can help connect different systems together.

How long does a standard gas cartridge last?▾

The burn time depends on cartridge size, stove type and flame setting. A 230-gram cartridge lasts approximately two to three days of camping with daily meal preparation when used moderately. Larger cartridges extend the usage time accordingly.

Which gas cartridge is the best choice for camping and outdoor?▾

For classic camping, screw-on cartridges from Campingaz, Coleman or Primus are suitable. For trekking and minimal luggage, lightweight cartridges from MSR, Jetboil or Kovea are recommended. The best choice depends on stove type, area of use and desired pack size.

How do I recognize a high-quality gas cartridge?▾

You can recognize high-quality gas cartridges by a sturdy valve construction, a reliable safety valve, even filling without pressure loss, and certifications such as the EN417 standard. Brands like MSR, Primus and Campingaz offer tested quality for safe outdoor cooking.
