I'm trying to work out how much gas I need to take with me on a camping trip, which will last 3 days, cooking twice a day, boiling a litre of water each time.
My stove is a Coleman F1 lite. It has a gas outflow of 346 g/hour. It takes 3 minutes under ideal conditions to boil a litre of water. So, if we say that the boil time is 4 minutes under windier conditions, that is 0.0666 of an hour, which will use 0.0666 * 346 = 23.06 grams of gas.
If I take a 100g gas canister, will I really only get 4 boils from it, or is my logic flawed?
Does anyone have any experience using the smallest (100g) gas canister and a small stove like the Coleman or a MSR pocket rocket?
Cheers, Neil
