What brand of stove fuel in NZ?
Can someone tell me what brand of stove fuel is most readily available in stores around NZ, even in smaller towns, and that would be the nearest equivalent to the MSR IsoPro fuel (an 80/20 blend of isobutane and propane) that I use here in the USA? Do you know if this is available in 8oz/220g canisters?
I'm bringing my MSR WindPro stove over to NZ & obviously can't bring any fuel with me.
Thanks...
There are a couple of brands .... the one I have at the moment is Kovea 70% ISO-Butane/30% Propane. 230g canister. $5.95 from R&R Sport. Most outdoor shops will sell gas canisters. There are some other brands too but I dont recall the names sorry.
Thanks Lisa.
You could probably also find MSR brand at any good outdoor store but yes we do have gas down here!
MSR IsoPro is definitely available here -- I saw it in several shops today in little canisters.
coleman white spirits is available at varying prices in 1 litre bottles or if you wanna use gas i use kovea 230gm cannisters(butane-propane)blend.
Both these work well in my 'primus' omnifuel but i figure your MSR will be ok using these.
I have found the MSR canister fuel performs extremely well compared with el cheapo brands. The Kovea is OK.
Thanks Honora -- I was wondering if it made any difference.
Yes, the difference was that when the canister was nearly empty, the MSR could burn with a hotter flame and with more gusto than the Outer Limits yellow brand. That one died a slow painful death. However the canister did only cost $6!
