    Hi everyone . I was wondering if anyone could help me find or name the correct stove that fits the blue camping gaz tall gas cannisters (net weight 380g).
    Thanks so much for your help

    A Campingaz Lotus, which took either the long gas cartridge or two of the usual-sized ones stacked.

    They made a parabolic (reflector) heater which took the long ones too.

    Figures John would know!

    Once upon a time I had a lot of Gaz stuff, but nothing that took that long canister

    I still have a CampinGaz lantern that uses the long cartridges (or 2 "small" ones stacked).

    That’s interesting, Wim. Could you oblige with a photo? I visualise something that works better hung rather than a top-heavy free-standing.

    Nothing much fancy about it John @presscall ! It is indeed not very stable and I would suggest to only use it hanging especcially when using the stacked smaller cans. After changing the upper empty one for the bottom full one it gets even worse (top-heavy)! A helpful accessoire is the plastic folding feet but I don't know when CampinGaz commercialised these. I used them on the stoves (with the single can) as these were also not stable on uneven soil.

    Thanks Wim, I’ve learned something. I didn’t know a lantern was made for that capacity of fuel.

    I passed on one of those lanterns at the boot fair a few months ago.
    I didn't think I could source the cylinders and didn't know you could stack 2 of the shorter ones.
