I picked one up for a Christmas present: http://www.fedtacticaldirect.com/Primus-EtaExpress-10L-Pot-Fry-Pan-P-353083_p_26907.html About $63 USD shipped. It came with everything shown except the fuel. That's not bad for a stove, and cookware along with a windscreen and carry bags. Anyone ever looked into what the best deal on blended fuel is? I found a pretty good price on some Coleman 3250-702T (70-30 mix I believe, Butane to Propane).
The best deal, at least in my area, on blended gas is at Walmart where the Coleman brand 8oz/227g (approximately, don't quote me on the grams) sized canisters are $4.88. If the temperature is over 50F/10C, then there's no need for blended fuel. There are adapters available on eBay for about $10.00 that allow one to burn the cheap 100% butane canisters. For the same amount of gas you pay $1.00 instead of $4.88. At least those are the prices here where I live. HJ
Ditto on the Wal-Mart. That $4.88 price seems to be pretty consistent across the nation as stores in Kansas, Iowa, and Minnesota all have the same price on the cans. The best I could do on the aerosol sized pure butane cans is $2.35 each at a commercial restaurant supply store. Salvage and scratch and dent type stores sell them at prices from $2 to $5 for the same cans but the stock level is inconsistent.
I am in utter dismay you couldn't find it with a simple search. With a title that is so cleverly written as this: "BE ABLE TO USE SCREW TYPE GAS NOZZLE TO NOMAL BUTANE GAS" That is seriously the title you want to search for. Or just use this link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/KOVEA-DUAL-...ltDomain_0&hash=item1e671cf815#ht_3249wt_1037 DO NOT buy the Chinese ones. This is the one you want. The Chinese ones will leak and then you will end up with instant hair removal of one arm and half your face, along with a large painful partial thickness burn. How do I know? It happened to me using one of those deadly Chinese made ones.
"BE ABLE TO USE SCREW TYPE GAS NOZZLE TO NOMAL BUTANE GAS" Eschew obfuscation I always say. Yes, get the Kovea ones. MUCH better quality. The Chinese ones are a roulette wheel. Maybe you'll get a good one, but chances are you're going to get junk, potentially dangerous junk. HOWEVER, the Kovea ones are good for stoves with a hose (remote canister stoves). If you try to stand a "long" can on end and affix a stove a top it, it won't be very stable. For an upright canister stove, This Type works better. Not as nice in terms of quality as a Kovea, but the Kovea type aren't any good for an upright canister stove. HJ
