Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
They look to fit the Camping Gaz Globetrotter stoves, We used to use them in scouts back in the late 90's till they got banned due to the nature of the system (puncture cylinder with no safety valve). The cylinder itself i think should have the number/model GT106

Looks like the canister for the Bleuet 'Cornflower' stove which was the original Camping Gaz stove. That's the only stove they fit.
They will be GT 106's and they fit the excellent little Camping Gaz Globe Trotter stove and lantern. The canisters have long been out of production so the stoves are effectively obsolete unless you modify them with longer bails for the larger 190 g canisters....
I had one of those, and gave it to my dad. Not sure if he's ever used it though. The pan set is quite good.
It ain't necessarily so. They will be either the GT106s as Johnboy suggests, or the Bleuet cartidges that I guessed. Its hard to tell from the view that Tengu has given us as both cartridges are the same diameter. The sure way to tell is by the height; the Bleuet cartridge is 46mm tall whilst the GT106 is somewhat taller at 55mm
Oddly enough the puncture type canisters are VERY popular here, to the point where you can find them at most supermarkets in varying sizes.
It's the threaded type that are more difficult to find here.

The 190g pierceables are still easy enough to obtain in UK, and are generally cheaper weight for weight than proprietary screw-ons. I dont use them much for stoves but do so regularly for light & heat under canvas.
I quite like the old Bluet type stoves... Mainly Due to the fact there is a never ending supply of 190g canisters at work that folk have chucked out....
I built up a hybrid stove the other day using scrap parts from several stoves and a Lumo Gaz lantern....
It works well and chucks out a good amount of heat and the flame is nice and clean...
Plus the components are well made so it'll last.... I probably wouldn't take it on a sub zero trip due to the limitation of the butane but for a 'beater' stove it works well.

I have a Lampe GT lantern that uses this type of puncture canister. Can't get the canisters here in the United States. Anyone know where I can purchase some online or if there's someone who might want to purchase the lantern who has access to the canisters?
