Ronson fuel canisters

Hi Jerry

Yes, you can. If you cut off about 1 -2 mm of the white spigot (at a slight angle) AND remove the brass pin from the stove connector, you may find that the canister will work fine. The white spigot becomes the valve actuating pin and bears directly on the cam valve inside. Don't lose the screws!

Um. You might have to leave the clear plastic pin-retaining washer out completely – that depends on the diameter of the spigot.

I would imagine that the Ronson refill canisters are pricy?

Cheers

I tried that in the past and it works well, it is described in this thread.

Nice description Jan

2.75 oz Ronson canisters are $4.50 USD from amazon.com when you buy 12.

For $4.50 you can probably get a 4 or 8 ounce canister, so it's not cheap. But if you only need 2.75 ounces of fuel per trip it would make sense.

Jan is actually the one who first pushed me into looking at the spigot. Thanks Jan.

Someone else may have also helped – can't remember. It should be in the thread Jan highlighted.

Cheers
