CampingMoon: The pics show it used as a normal Lindal screw-top valve, although it appears to also have a fitting to refill from a small butane cigarette-lighter fuel can. So standard-Lindal-compatible.
Probably legal in the US, or Amazon wouldn’t carry it.
Capacity is listed as 35 g of butane. It says that it will also hold propane — isn’t there an 86% conversion there? So 30g of propane?
It is a low canister — perhaps stable enough with an upright stove.
Flame King: Holds 3.8 oz (almost 1/4 pound) of propane. So Flame King is more weight efficient in terms of capacity:weight. However, the Flame King is a tall, narrow, bottle, so it might need some kind of stand to make it stable with an upright stove. Plus it needs a 1 oz adapter from Coleman to Lindal valve.
