DIY are the only ones by CampingGazDamn, too late. I'm en route now! BTw what are the screw top ones called?
I'm a bit of a newbie to cooking on the go. How easy are gas canisters to come by in Spain and France? And am I right in thinking that France uses Camping Gaz? I've got the screw top one to go with my Pocket Rocket stove which is great.

This means that you can actually detach your stove from the pierced gas cannister - the adaptor stays in place atop the canister.
So there is a valve within the adaptor? The previous incarnation I had had one - the adaptor looked like the base of a bluet stove - which I used once having arrived in Greece by air and managed to get pierceable cartridge at a garage in the middle of nowhere - managed to find proper cartridges for the rest of the trip - Camping Gaz in Greece was olive rather than blue - carried it for 12 years without using it again before it disintegrated
Well yes, there must be a valve within it
Yes, puncture ones, that's a better description. I'm glad to hear they haven't gone obsolete and are cheap. In my little town the one and only stockists seems to dictate what is and what isn't obsolete. It appears that the cheapest is conveniently obsolete.You mean the puncture ones I assume yellow saddle. I had the impression that they were still relatively easy to find.
And they often seem cheaper.
I have an adaptor from Eldrid which allows you to use them with screw stoves etc. This means that you can actually detach your stove from the pierced gas cannister - the adaptor stays in place atop the canister. Sounds alarming I suppose but I haven't exploded yet.
I know this isn't maybe quite what you were thinking but it does allow access to a wide range of cannisters. I often carry a screw stove, that adaptor and a very small camping gas stove which means I am unlikely to run out of cannister gas anywhere remotely populated. And I can just buy whatever is cheapest. Sometimes you see the pierced cannisters very cheap.
Yes.so not a manual one - ie like a little tap - but an internal ball one?
