Magnum

A tabletop stove and the cartridges for it, where the second page answers the first

A pair of pages that need each other

The stove page describes its fuel as commercially available 227 g butane cartridges and never says what fitting the valve is. The cartridge page states an MSF-1a bayonet connection meeting EN 417, in the title and again in two bullets. Same brand, and the specification the stove page leaves open is written plainly on the cartridge page. That is worth knowing because a bayonet fitting and a screw thread are not interchangeable, and a stove listing that will not say which it takes is a stove you cannot restock with confidence from the page alone.

The stove’s own contribution

It answers a question most of that shelf ignores: how wide a pan will sit on it. Cookware up to 22 cm in diameter, stated. If you already own a pan, that single figure settles whether the two go together, which is more useful than another wattage. It also gives a burn time of 1.5 to 3 hours per 227 g cartridge and ties the range to the flame setting rather than quoting a single number, and it states an integrated piezo ignition needing no lighter and no mains power.

What the stove leaves blank

No output figure at all, so it cannot be set against the rated stoves on the same shelf. No boil time, no boil volume, no pressure regulation, no weight and no packed size. The listing ends on a note about standing the stove level, and says nothing about ventilation. Any stove burning gas is a manufacturer’s instructions matter first, and this page does not stand in for those.

What the cartridges leave blank

A standard and a shape are both named, which is the pair that decides fit. What is missing is everything about the object: no diameter, no height and no gross weight, so whether a cartridge nests inside a pot or clears a stove’s holder cannot be read here. No consumption figure either, so twelve cartridges is a quantity rather than a duration — and the fill is butane alone, with nothing published about how it behaves as the temperature drops.

    • The valve name is in the title, so the fitting is settled before the bullets are read
    • EN 417 is named alongside MSF-1a: a standard and a shape, rather than one or the other
    • Butane alone, with nothing said about how it behaves as the temperature falls

    Best for: Restocking a tabletop stove whose manual names the MSF-1a bayonet fitting, a whole season at once.
