Gas Tin in Billy Can?

[Erbswurst]

Does the 450g Primus screw ventile gas tin fit perfectly in the 12 cm Zebra billy can?
Or is the 450g tin to high and only the 230g Primus gas tin fits well in the 12 cm Zebra billy can?

Or do you recommend something else?

Unfortunately the 450g is too tall.

I carry my one like this.



Hope this helps.

Thank you very much!

Is that a 12 cm billy can on the photos?

Am I right, that the gas tin doesn't fit in the 10 cm billy can?

Does the 12 cm billy can fit in the 14 cm billy can?

Which volume contains the 12 cm billy can?

 

[crosslandkelly]

Yes. it's a 12cm Zebra billy.

The 450g won't fit, neither will the 230g.

Yes.

the Zebra billy holds about 1.5l.

Tank you!

That seems to me a very good 2 men option if weight isn't so important:

Stove with Primus 230g gas tin stored in 12 cm Zebra billy can (1.5 ltr, tea) stored in 14 cm Zebra billy can (2 ltr, meal).

One just has to store the mugs under the bottles as usual, and to think about the plates, a British or Dutch mess kit for example.

Do you think that would work well together?

I always find that the bottom of the gas cans rust when in even a slightly damp billy can , this leaves a mark in the billy which must be cleaned out before cooking .
this can happen in just a few hours when on a weeks hiking trip this is a pain in the ***
I store them separately now days
