Anywhere that sells gas for camp stoves, really. Shop around for the best prices. This time of year the bigger supermarkets have gas, Wilko's etc.

Hi Billy, it's a standard gas thread for camping stoves. Will take Coleman C100, C250 & C500 , MSR & EPIgas (if there are any kicking around anywhere still.) Tiso, Blacks all the usual suspects in Dundee sell them. Look like this.
Don't buy the Camping Gaz clip fit by mistake, looks like this.

Bilmo it's a thread fit not a clip fit, not easy to see in the photo though. Camping Gaz wont fit (even though Camping Gaz and Coleman are one company these days.)
Yup it's a screw fit self sealing cartridge. Dead east to fit, safe and pretty strong. Means you can disassemble the stove from cartridge for packing. Just try not to get muck/detritus in the seals.

Thank you for your help! Can't wait to use it and test it out so much smaller than the old thin I was usin haha
Just remember that that stove has fairly small pot supports and they're angled, always hold onto your pot when stirring. Other wise your tea will be on the floor, it also puts out a really good heat but it's concentrated in the centre of the pan. food can be burnt in the middle and stone cold at the edges - especially dependant on the pots you use. So especially if you have it turned up high - KEEP STIRRING.
If in doubt about fitting - take it into the shop when your getting gas and the assistant if they're worth their salt will show you how it all goes together.
Great wee stoves - and for that price can't really be beat.
Have fun,
GB.

My apologies, you used an "S" rather than a "Z". Sorry Bilmo. Pavlovian response from me, used to get folk picking up the wrong cylinders for the wrong stoves.
Sorry again.

Nay, it's me who should be apologising for wording my post so poorly. It was not my intention to confuse.
that is a very large reduction in size billymitchel, I thought you where after something only a little smaller than the bistro type stove. You'll be able to take a much smaller bag now, or lots more stuff ! As others have pointed out the cartridges are very widley avaliable. Re your last thread, once you get used to that stove, get a remote feed with a preheater, they are a step up, avaliable from sports direct for 20 quid.
Nb. Camping gaz, now owned by coleman(strange considering the cartridges and stove design), spelt Campingaz, as one word. Personally the twist and click system is best, no fiddly threads to clog, wear out, and very fast and simple.
