Does anyone know if Coleman is still making the 170g size Powermax canisters? Everywhere I look around here, all of the Powermax canisters are 300g. Nothing wrong with them, but for short single overnight trips the 170g size would be nice.

Mar 9, 2011 at 7:28 pm #1706797Hi,
It would seem that the best way to get your question answered would be to just call Coleman.
Mar 9, 2011 at 11:23 pm #1706849Good answers, both. I'll have to stop in at Culvers.
Thanks,

Mar 10, 2011 at 8:42 am #1706939A distributor that I work with carried both sizes last year, but this year they aren't carrying either. I would highly suggest that you pick up one of the adapters for the stove that allow you to use standard fuel canisters. They aren't light, but if you like the stove, they will ensure continued future use.

Mar 10, 2011 at 10:17 am #1706984Yeah, I grabbed one of those adapters a while back. Kinda heavy though.
Sports Authority was having a blow out sale on Powermax 300g size canisters recently because they're going to stop carrying them. I picked up a life time supply for $3 bucks a can.

Mar 10, 2011 at 1:06 pm #1707048Thanks for the tip Jim. My Sports Authority store had them discounted another dollar to <$2.00ea.

Mar 11, 2011 at 1:19 pm #1707537I cleaned out the Portland store also for $1.97 a piece No sales tax here either.
Mar 11, 2011 at 2:02 pm #1707565NICE!

Mar 19, 2011 at 2:42 pm #1711275I contacted Coleman by email. It took them awhile to respond, but their response was that they do not make the 170g sized Powermax canisters any longer. :(

Mar 19, 2011 at 2:48 pm #1711278I've never even seen one. The one and only time it came up last year on gear swap someone was selling both their stove and a cache of those bottles. Theoretically the buyer who was a regular here may still have some. Something now that rare would possibly be worth buying even if empty- better than recycling them with the green key.
