Jetboil adapters?

Instead of converting your jetboil into something it is not I would suggest to sell the jetboil and buy something more suitable for car camping.

I'm not aware of any adapter for for the coleman propane tanks and highly doubt one exists. Conveting the jetboil would take away it's portability and lighter weight aspect which is was designed for. You could always take a look at the jetboil Helios system and use the larger jetboil fuel for that.

They are quite expensive: http://cgi.ebay.com/Change-Gas-cartridge-STOVE-and-LANTERN-US-Adaptor-/370374785674?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item563c0eba8a

From what I understand, may be dangerous to use…something about the higher pressures of the propane fuel/tanks.

> something about the higher pressures of the propane fuel/tanks.

Which is whhy the propane tanks are made of heavier steel. The pressure is much higher. Boom on a hot day …

+1. And you'll likely free up some cash as well.

The adapter that Bailey points out would work. It might be a little tippy unless you have some kind of base to insert the propane tank into.

I think I'll climb aboard the "get a car camping stove" band wagon. Having said that, I sometimes will still bring a Jetboil along since, with the French Press attachment, it makes a nice pot of coffee while I'm using my main stove to cook breakfast.

Propane is the easiest, most convenient fuel for car camping, but if you want to save a few bucks, you could go with a Coleman fuel two burner type stove. They're pretty easy to pick up at garage sales for cheap, and the fuel is $8.88USD/gallon at Walmart. I can't think of a cheaper cooking option for car camping except maybe if wood is plentiful and free where you're camping.
