Here is a summary of a test conducted by The Sideburn Hunter on different Isobutane fuel canisters
- Burn time: The burn time varied between the canisters, with Coleman lasting the longest at 3 hours and 16 minutes, and Primus coming in second at 3 hours and 13 minutes. Snow Peak and GSI canisters had the shortest burn time at around 2 hours and 22 minutes.
- Boil time: There wasn’t a significant difference in boil time between the canisters. All the canisters were able to boil 16 ounces of water in about 3 minutes.
- Temperature: The canisters burned at different temperatures. The Ola Camp canister burned the hottest at 674 degrees Celsius, while the Optimus canister burned the coolest at 511 degrees Celsius.
- Price: The cheapest canister was Primus power gas at $4.99.
Overall, the video suggests that there are some differences between the canisters in terms of burn time and temperature, but these differences are unlikely to be significant for most backpackers and campers. The Youtuber recommends buying the canister that is easiest or cheapest for you.
