When we talk of 'canister' stoves, it's safely assumed we mean iso-butane in threaded Lindal-valve canisters:


Here in Parts Unknown I've seen butane packaged in aerosol cylinders with twist-click connections


In the USA these are used in car camping (NTTAWWT!) stoves


although in Japan and other locales they make nifty hiking/cycletouring stoves that use the twist click cylinders



My local Walmart, Acadamy and REI have a shelf full of these aerosol butane canisters, but I haven't seen them anywhere in the hinterland.

There are Lindal-to-Aerosol and Aerosol-to-Lindal adapters available.
