Pinguin Gas Canister 230 g – Propane/Butane/Isobutane

Camping Gas Canister Pinguin – Propane/N-Butane/Isobutane Mix, Four-Season, 230 g

Camping gas canister Pinguin 230 g contains a four-season propane/N-butane/isobutane gas mixture that maintains constant pressure even at low temperatures, allowing ignition and reliable output below 0°C. The canister uses a standard EN417 threaded valve, compatible with the majority of freestanding and integrated camping stoves. Total weight including valve and casing is 380 g, with a diameter of 105 mm and height of 90 mm. The taller, narrower profile of the 230 g format means a canister stand is recommended to widen the base and improve stability during use, particularly on uneven terrain. The larger fuel volume makes this canister suited for multi-day trips, group cooking, or extended use with higher-output stoves.

Features

• ➤ Four-season gas mix: propane/N-butane/isobutane blend maintains pressure and ignites below 0°C
• ➤ Standard threaded valve: EN417 thread, compatible with most freestanding and integrated camping stoves
• ➤ 230 g fuel content: suited for multi-day trips, group cooking, or high-output stoves
• ➤ Total weight: 380 g including canister and valve
• ➤ Dimensions: 105 mm diameter × 90 mm height
• ➤ Canister stand recommended: taller profile benefits from a stand to increase base stability on uneven surfaces

The Pinguin 230 g canister is the standard choice for trips of two or more days where a 110 g canister would run out mid-route. On a three-day hiking loop through the Sigulda valley trails in Latvia or a multi-day traverse of the Sudeten ridge in Poland, the 230 g volume provides enough fuel for morning and evening cooking without the need to carry a spare canister. The propane and isobutane content in the mix keeps output consistent when overnight temperatures drop below freezing, where a pure butane canister would lose pressure noticeably. A canister stand is recommended for this format due to its taller profile – it improves stability on rock, gravel, or sloped ground.

Technical Specifications

Materials and Design

• Steel canister body – pressure-rated for gas storage, standard outdoor canister construction
• EN417 threaded valve – industry-standard thread compatible with the majority of camping stove brands
• Propane/N-butane/isobutane mix – propane maintains pressure at sub-zero temperatures; isobutane improves cold-weather output; N-butane provides high energy density at moderate temperatures
• Taller 90 mm profile – canister stand recommended to widen base and improve stability during cooking
• 105 mm diameter – wider base than 110 g format, stable on flat surfaces without a stand
