G'day Trent,

The Gasmate Backpacker stove is compatible with any self-sealing screw thread hike style gas canister. They're generally available in 230g (pictured) or 450g and should be around $10-$15 depending on the brand and the store.

G'day Kathy,

We sell the has canisters for the Backpacker stove but are unable to ship them due to the high costs of shipping dangerous goods. They fit a standard screw-in thread lightweight gas canister that is pretty universal. You should be able to pick one up at the local Aussie Disposals in Warragul.

G'day Andrew,

Yep that's right, this newer model comes with piezo ignition for easy lighting.  However, I would recommend always packing a lighter or matches as a back-up.  Piezo ignitions are brilliant when they work but are known to not always be reliable ;)

G'day Andrew,

We've just done some double checking and unfortunately, Gasmate doesn't actually include the Piezo ignition on this model. Sorry for the confusion above based on the November 2018 answer, we might have been looking at the model that made that had a windshield and Piezo Ignition. Sorry for the confusion, I hope the lighter will continue to do the trick. 

G'day Jared,

Thanks for pointing that out to us, mate. Embarrassingly enough, that photo isn't even of the Gasmate Backpacker Stove but a different stove altogether. We've taken that photo off now. Sorry for any confusion!

G'day Sigrid,

The Gasmate Backpacker Stove uses a different type of connection, pressure and gas to your 9kg bottle.

For this stove, you'll need to buy the canisters.

G'day Lyn,

Most reputable camping stores along with well-stocked petrol stations/roadhouses should carry the screw threaded gas canisters. This style of canister is the most common as is the required canister for the Gasmate Backpacker Stove along with many other hiking stoves on the market and the canisters can often be purchased in a range of sizes.

G'day Ian,

Unfortunatley I think you'll find many portable stoves are to small to successfully use a wok without having to pay really close attention to keep it upright. 

G'day Ian,

I wouldn't recommend it as the Gasmate Backpacker Stove is very unlikely to provide the required stabilisation without very precise attention to keep it balanced as you cook.

Hi Laura, good question! I've never been asked this before, so I've given it a go. The Gasmate stove will work, but the smallest Gasmate Cartridge (230gm) is too big. It does however work using the stove with a 100gm Cartridge. It's just fits, with the top of the stove sitting just below the top of the windshield.
