MK LIGHTER MK isobutane canister, 100 g (3.5 oz)
A 100-gram EN 417 canister at a 75/25 blend, published in exactly the words another brand on this shelf uses — down to the twenty meals and the thirty cups of coffee.
On the maker’s own page
An isobutane fuel canister, portable camping gas 100 g (3.5 oz), suitable for all seasons,
two cans.
MK LIGHTER states a premium blend of 75 per cent isobutane and 25 per cent
propane for higher vapor pressure and cold-weather performance at all four
seasons and all altitudes; 100 g (3.52 oz) a can for up to 20 freeze-dried meals
or about 30 cups of coffee, with usage varying by stove system, weather, altitude
and cooking style; a size of 3.6 × 3 inches at 100 grams with a tight-fitting cap
keeping the valve leak-proof; a standard EN417 screw-in connector compatible with
most backpacking stoves, burners and lanterns, with instructions printed on the
canister; and two cans in the pack.
No gross weight. No resealable statement.
One text, two brands
Word for word, on this shelf.
Another brand here publishes the same five bullets: the same blend sentence, the
same twenty meals and thirty coffees with the same caveat, the same 3.6 by 3
inches, the same EN417 phrasing.
Two EANs, two names, one specification. There is nothing on the page to separate
them, so this page says so rather than writing two different reviews of one
canister.
What differs is the price.
EN four one seven
The term a manual uses.
This shelf’s introduction: the threaded canister with its 7/16 inch UNEF screw valve
is what most modern backpacking stoves use, and it is resealable.
The buying tip: check the valve wording in the stove manual before ordering,
because a threaded canister and a bayonet stove is a stove you cannot light.
Naming the standard lets words be matched with words. It does not replace the
manual, and it says nothing about the third system on this shelf — the pierceable
canister, which has no valve at all.
A hundred grams, and the steel around it
Why size is a carrying question.
The only listing on this shelf that publishes a gross weight gives 198 grams for
100 grams of gas. The steel is about half the load.
A bigger canister carries proportionally less steel per gram of fuel. A hundred
grams is right for a weekend where the can nests in a pot and nothing is wasted;
for a week, two of them weigh more than one larger can holding the same gas.
MK LIGHTER’s own instructions on the canister carry the handling. Nothing here
replaces them, and nothing on this page describes any product as safe.
