Whilst looking around the net the other day .I came across a company that sells a gas bottle adapter the fits onto those  small suitcase stoves that take the aerosol tin gas bottles

so you can use them on a normal stove that takes the standard gas cylinder ie
the C100,C500,cv270,cv470 ect
It is made by gelert but they dont list it on its site.But can be found here

my local discount warehouse sells the stove bottles 4 for £4.So it makes it cheap
the pics is of a butane 220g the printing is different but they all seem the same

So I bought the adapter for £3.99+pp  to fit these bottles here are some pics
above each pic is a link to a larger pic

UPDATE
Ive just done a test boil  of 500ml  and it was in 3min 36s
the stove i use is  one
which is very similar to the GOSYSTEM Flexifuel

Ive just ordered myself a new stove off ebay a Gasoline/gas stove

I am expecting it in the post any day now

its fueled by Unlead Gasoline, kerosene oil, Butane / Propane Mixture and other fuels.

so it will use gas as well as liquid fuels.As soon as it arrives I will post an update on how it performs

I will probably run it either off Gas or Kerosene

SO I though I would check out the the price and availability of kerosene / parrafin as the stove will run on this as well as other liquid fuels and gas.

I live in a Village and my local petrol station stocks Paraffin. its sold from a pump just like petrol.Now with the station been an independent his fuels costs a little more than the main players like Jet, BP ,Esso and the supermarkets.
His paraffin is 79p per litre so 4 litres =£3.16 .Not bad price compared to
meths at £1.99 for 500 mills so 4 litres= £15.92 which i use at the moment on my meths cooker

But yesterday I was in one of the local Discount DIY warehouses and spotted 4 Litre containers of paraffin for a whopping £6.99 and B&Q do it for £5.98

So for once my local supply is cheaper by a saving of £2.82
I know I don’t get a container with it from my local petrol station. I will be using a jerrycan to store it in.So I’m not using those plastic containers they come in so Im doing a bit more for the environment

so locally the costs of fuel  per litre and for 4 liters

supply 500ml 1litre 4litres
local petrol station 79p £3.16
B&Q NA £5.98
Local DIY discount NA £6.99
homebase NA £5.99

which surprised me  then a local independent can supply it cheaper than the Big boys

The Orion Cooker is a new, innovative outdoor convection cooker that uses

three cooking processes simultaneously: convection, steam and smoke

(if desired). This cooking process couldn’t be any easier and yields

incredible results every time. Using 100% indirect heat to create a convection

current, there is absolutely no cooking maintenance with drastically reduced

cook times. When compared to traditional smokers, the Orion Cooker is

unmatched in cooking speed. Smoke six racks of ribs in 1 hour and 15

minutes, or a twenty pound turkey in 2 hours and 15 minutes.

The Orion Cooker includes 3 rib hangers to accommodate 6 racks of ribs,

3 cooking grates providing 398 square inches of cooking surface, and a

poultry stand and lifting handle which holds a 24 pound Turkey.

Fantastic prime rib, beef brisket, boston butt and seafood. Just fill it,

fire it and forget it!
