Gas conversion head

[13rett]

I have just received a conversion head and a Gelert Apollo stove.I was wondering if anyone had tried one of there as I have no clue if it will work with the connection on my stove as it looks different to other stoves. At the moment I have no gas to just give it a go and don't want to waste money if i don't need to and it is my first time trying a gas stove. Any help or info appreciated.

THat looks like a conversion piece from those tubular gas cylinders used in the cheap camping stoves. Does the convertor fit onto your gelert connector? If so, then it should work with those gas cylinders.

yea that's the idea it does fit I was just double checking didn't want to blow myself up and wasn't sure as the connection on my stove looks different to other stoves.

Don't use it with the cheap Butane cylenders this time of year, Butane is as much use as a chocolate tea pot in colder months, keep it for next summer.

Thanks for that think it will be a summer thing then it was more to save space than money to be honest but I have since found out that it will probably use more space using the cheap ones and not save that much money.

Yup rik_uk3 is right, unless you have a preheated or a regulator stove anything below 10 degrees and your stove is unlikely to even light.

I decided to try a butane battery can and see how I get on over the winter. Then maybe try converters over the summer. Thanks for all the advice.
