Camping bbq cartridge or gas bottle

Updated: 16.10.2026

The canister is already in the cupboard, and the listing only says gas. A camping bbq cartridge or gas bottle is not one product across the twelve amazon.co.uk listings captured on 15 October 2026. The fittings split into a Campingaz CV cartridge, an EN 417 screw cartridge, a disposable 16.4 oz propane cylinder, and a UK hose on a propane cylinder. The [camping gas barbecue comparison](/hub/portable-grills/camping-gas-barbecue) shows which row prints which. The Products Compared editorial team used those fitting cells, the Party Grill 200 instructions and the Scouts’ stove guidance. A qualifying purchase can earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

Campingaz CV cartridges

Stay on CV when that is the cartridge you can buy. The Party Grill 200 sheet names CV 470 Plus and CV 300 Plus only, and says other brands may be dangerous. The 400 bullets say CV 470 Plus, the title adds an R907, and UK reviews say the cartridge in the components line was missing. The Othello names the same CV 470 Plus, not included. A CV 470 All Season listing on amazon.co.uk describes a 425 g isobutane and propane mix and states −10 °C. That claim is the cartridge listing’s, not a test of these grills.

A UK hose or a disposable propane cylinder

A UK propane cylinder is a different purchase. The George Foreman at £125.00 includes a UK hose and regulator and names no cylinder size. One motorhome review called the hose short. The Char-Broil X200 wants a 16.4 oz disposable propane cylinder, sold separately, on a connection reviews call bespoke. Across 40 UK reviews that regulator sticks, will not lock, blows out, or popped off. A patio hose some owners added is their modification, and the Scouts say you do not modify a portable stove. The Char-Broil cylinder is a small disposable you buy again.

EN 417 is a review, not always a field

EN 417 is the screw cartridge many campers already own, and in this set it is rarely a specification line. The Weber Traveler bullets do not name a cartridge. A UK review says disposable EN 417 screw cartridges, sold separately. The Weber Q bullets also omit the gas. One reviewer priced a Calor or Flo Gas adapter at about £55. That is the reviewer’s price. The Q does not take Calor as a printed fact. Greenfields at £34.99 prints Gas and never names a thread. CAMPLUX at £99.99 says standard gas canisters and names no thread. The buying guide places the fitting beside plate, weight and box contents.

Cold mornings and the refill idea

Cold changes which cartridge still gives you gas. It does not let you cross the families above. The Scouts’ stove page says butane struggles below 0 °C, prefers self-sealing EN 417 cartridges, and says you do not modify the stove. The CV 470 All Season listing’s −10 °C line is a claim about that cartridge’s mix, not a measurement on a Party Grill in January. Refilling an empty CV cartridge is an idea that turns up in reviews, and it is not a method. This page will not describe how. A cartridge that vents, or a valve that will not shut, is a stop, not a top-up.

Common questions

Will my EN 417 canister fit a Party Grill?
The Party Grill 200 instructions name CV 470 Plus and CV 300 Plus only, and they say other brands may be dangerous. An EN 417 screw canister is a different fitting, so the Party Grill rows are the wrong cooker for that can. The original Party Grill bullets say CV470 and CV300, the same Campingaz family. If your can is a screw thread, stop here. In this set, EN 417 appears in a Traveler review, not in a Party Grill bullet.
What is a CV 470 Plus?
It is the Campingaz cartridge named on the Party Grill 200 sheet, the Party Grill 400 bullets, the Othello bullets and the Attitude2go bullets. The 200 sheet also allows CV 300 Plus. A separate amazon.co.uk listing for a CV 470 All Season cartridge describes a 425 g isobutane and propane mix and states −10 °C. That claim belongs to the cartridge listing. It was not measured on these grills, and no current cartridge price is printed here.
Does the George Foreman need a cartridge at all?
The George Foreman components line is a UK regulator and hose, not a CV or EN 417 cartridge. You still need the propane cylinder that hose fits, and the bullets do not name the size. One motorhome review called the supplied hose short and bought a longer one. Open this row if you already own a UK cylinder. Leave it if the fuel in the car is a Campingaz cartridge.
Can I use the Weber Q on a Calor bottle?
The Weber Q bullets do not name Calor, Flo Gas or any cartridge. UK reviews describe small Weber screw-on canisters, and a further adapter for a Calor or Flo Gas cylinder. One reviewer put that adapter at about £55, which is that person’s price. Plan for an adapter only as a review, after you have read the data plate. The listing on its own does not say the Q takes Calor.
Will butane work in January?
The Scouts say butane struggles below 0 °C and prefer a self-sealing EN 417 cartridge. Pierceable cartridges are discouraged on that page. The CV 470 All Season listing claims −10 °C for its isobutane and propane mix, and that claim is not a winter test of a Party Grill. On a frosty morning you use the cartridge the appliance sheet allows, which for the Party Grill 200 is still CV 470 Plus or CV 300 Plus. A mild forecast does not make an unnamed canister a substitute.
Can I refill an empty CV cartridge?
Refilling a disposable CV cartridge is not safe advice, and this page describes no way to do it. The Scouts say you do not modify a portable stove, and a reviewer’s refill tip is not a procedure. Buy a sealed cartridge of the type the instruction sheet names. If a cartridge is venting, or the valve will not shut, keep a flame away and treat it as an emergency, not as a top-up you finish on the pitch.
