Can i use those green coleman propane canisters with an msr windburner?

It would be unstable being a tall stove on top of a tall canister?

It’s actually the Duo I’m looking at, which has the canister separate from the burner. Thanks for the link.

I do that for car camping with my Jetboil Sumo (it’s perfect for making a full Thermos of coffee).  It is tall and unstable and I stand there holding it the entire time (using the Sumo handle), but it boils the water so quickly that it’s not a big deal.

Put the green canister in a stand of some sort.

I’ve used straight propane on a number of butane-mix stove heads and it worked fine.

100% propane would create a slightly leaner fuel-air mixture than a butane mix, hence might produce less CO, especially at higher elevations.

Thanks all.

Yes, but …

You will need an adapter to convert the propane thread to screw-thread. They are available on ebay.

You will also need to be a shade cautious with the control valve as burning straight propane takes less oxygen that a 70/30 mix. The mix would be very lean. You could experiment with a slight restriction on the air inlet, if you can reach that area. A 10-20% reduction in area should be fine.

Cheers

I got one of those propane bottle stands for car camping.  And a stove that screws directly onto the green propane bottle.  Works pretty good, more stable.  The weight of the bottle helps its stability.

But then I never use it.  I may have given it to the Goodwill.

I got a stove that uses those cheap butane cartridges from the Korean grocer.  That works pretty good.  I use that occasionally, very stable.  But not good below 32 F.

I use the green propane bottles to grill steak on the patio at home.

@Nick – Thank you!  I ordered one of those.  I’ll still be careful with my “tower” but that will help considerably and give me a little piece of mind for the $8 it cost me on Amazon.
