Best camping gas cartridges
Updated: 23 October 2026
You already know the stove takes a cartridge, and you want one pack from the eight amazon.co.uk listings in this comparison, not a lecture on every valve in the UK. Best camping gas cartridges here means the can that matches the collar you own, with a pack count you can defend and a star line you have not double-counted. There is no single winner. The push-fit top pick and the screw best value are different products. Prices and stars below are the captures on the [gas cartridge comparison](/hub/grills-and-barbecues/gas-cartridge).

What best can mean in this set
A 4.6-star line is common, and several of them are the same line printed twice. Straame’s 4-pack and 8-pack both show 4.6 from 2,423 reviews. Three Green Haven screw packs, the pair, the six-can bullet and the butane 12-pack, share 4.6 from 640. Averaging those into eight independent tests would flatter the table. The mix 12-pack is the exception on the screw side: 4.7 from 244, a smaller and separate file.
Fit outranks that score. A can that will not engage is a failed purchase at any star rating. Rank in Camping Replacement Fuel is a popularity line, not a lab. If your collar is a screw, skip the push-fit row. If it is a notch, skip the C500 rows. The two families are set out in screw gas canister vs bayonet.
Push-fit pick
For a push-fit stove, the top pick in this set is Straame’s titled 8-pack, 227 g butane stated, self-sealing valve claimed, model ST BG. UK texts praise the price against shop cans and a fit on camping stoves. Others report a can that still held liquid, a weed-burner mismatch and torn courier boxes. The unit count says 1 against a pack-of-8 title. Buy it when the appliance is push-fit and you accept the shared star line.
The 4-pack is the same story at about £8.99. Four at that price is a higher unit price than eight at about £11.99 if both titles are accurate. Choose the 4-pack when you want fewer cans. Skip both if the stove is threaded. Green Haven’s other page at about £11.99 is not the screw alternative: the title says EN417 and an 8-pack, the bullets say bayonet and non-threaded, and one bullet says four cans.
Screw pick
For an EN417 screw stove, the best value in this set is the Green Haven C500 12-pack that puts a butane-propane mix in the title, model DYN12237, 4.7 from 244 reviews. If the 12-count is real, that is about £3.87 a can. The 2-pack is about £13.99, about £7 a can, and it is the page where the count fields agree. A Coleman C500 single was around £7.49 at a UK outdoor shop. That shop can is not one of these ASINs. Coleman prints 440 g and a 70/30 blend. Green Haven does not print grams or a ratio. Do not borrow Coleman’s cold figure.
Reviews report a spinning collar and a can that did not feel full. The butane-titled 12-pack shares the 640-review line, and the 6-pack bullet weighs 1.13 kg, below the 2-pack’s 1.27 kg. No temperature is printed. Cold mornings are camping gas cold weather.
The 28-pack is not the quiet bargain
SMART SHOPPING at about £29.99 looks cheap if you divide by 28. The size field says 20 bottles, the title and number of items say 28, and no valve standard is printed. UK reviews split hard. Some buyers boil kettles for weeks and reorder. Others report cans that never engage, a blockage in six cans, a flame that dies around half a can, wet packaging and an empty can with a cut.
Until the collar matches, do not prefer it over a named push-fit or screw pack. Do not guess the valve from the words cooker, heater, stove and barbecue. Stars do not prove a full can, a unique review file, or a winter rating.
Common questions
Is the 4.6 on the 4-pack separate evidence?
No. The 4-pack capture prints the same 4.6 from 2,423 as the 8-pack, and the UK review text in the file includes comments about an 8-pack. Treat it as one sample. The mix 12-pack’s 4.7 from 244 is a different line. The three other Green Haven screw packs share 4.6 from 640.
Should I buy the 28-pack because it is cheapest per can?
Only if you already know the collar, and the page never names it. The title says 28, the size field says 20, the price is about £29.99, and the stars are 4.6 from 1,737. Reviews include cans that do not engage and cans that fade around half full. A low price per guessed bottle is not a valve match.
Is Green Haven the same gas as Coleman?
Not on the evidence in these listings. Coleman’s C500 text, on another product, prints 440 g and a 70/30 blend. Green Haven’s screw pages leave net grams blank. One reviewer mentions 70/30. That is not an attribute field. A shop price near £7.49 for a Coleman single is context for the £13.99 pair, not proof the gas is identical.
Who should skip the bayonet Green Haven page?
Anyone whose stove needs a screw thread, and anyone who read EN417 in the title and stopped there. The bullets say bayonet and non-threaded. One bullet says four cartridges while the title says eight. A Cadac Trio Power Pak is the sort of appliance reviewers mention. A threaded backpacking stove is not.
Which listing states a mix?
Only the Green Haven C500 12-pack at about £46.48. The title says a butane-propane mix. No ratio and no degree rating are printed. The other seven listings are butane in the title or the fuel attribute, or they never state a blend. A material line that says propane, butane and steel on a butane-titled pack is not the same as a mix in the title.
