So I've just arrived in Switzerland (verbier) and am hoping to walk part of the haute route. I'm wanting to take my pocket rocket stove and was dismayed to discover that regular msr or Coleman canisters are not available in the camping stores around here ( and can be quite hard to find in a number of European countries). I realise now that this is well known.

Despite this I have found a campingaz "cg1750" canister that appears to have a screw top thread like the standard lindal valve in most self sealing canisters available in uk, us, and Australia. The dimensions are quite unfamiliar though (it looks like a spray can) and has a 70/30 butane/propane mix.

Does anybody know if this is likely to be safe and effective for use directly with a pocket rocket? I'd really rather not blow my head off if I can at all help it.

Cheers

Hugh

"that regular msr or Coleman canisters are basically unavailable here ( or indeed much of Europe, with rare exceptions )"

Well, definetely not true :-)
