[Rhodes22-list] Bleuet 206 Butane Stove

[Mary Lou Troy]

Mike,
The canisters for these stoves use a propane/butane mix with a brand 
name of CampinGaz. I think the 206 is the kind that is punctured as 
you lock it into place. This means you can't remove it until it is 
empty. We had one and never had any problems with it though the 
puncture feature always made me worry a bit. When the canisters 
became harder and harder to find, we finally replaced it with a 
Bleuet stove that uses the CampinGaz with the valves (CV270 or CV300 
canisters). It fit the existing stainless steel pan in the galley 
with only a couple of modifications.That fuel is also difficult to 
find but when we found some a few years back we bought a multi-year 
supply. Really like the stove. Don't know if canisters are still available.
