MercatorGear Gas Canister Calculator 2.0

If you just need to know how many gas canisters you will need for your trip, try our Gas Canister Calculator. It will help you to plan your trip by working out the minimum number of gas canisters you will need for your specific cooking/water boiling needs.

Reduce Dependence on Russian Gas

Most camping gas canisters available in Europe, are made in South Korea, France, UK, Greece and several other countries. The canisters are filled with liquefied gas from USA, Middle east, Malaysia & Australia. To help reduce dependency on Russian gas which is funding the appalling war, you can use camping stoves at home in the kitchen, garden or balcony. We naturally recommend KOVEA stoves, but any premium brand stove can be used to stop funding the illegal war, and help Ukraine.
