availability of butane gas cylinders
 

Guys,

Cna I just double check that butane cylinders are easily available in SA for my MSR rocket stove???

Hi I can't answer from experience as not been off the beaten (i.e. tourist) track yet but have been told that outside of tourist places these can be difficult/impossible to get - we have actually changed our stove because we've heard several reports of this.

However these two links may be of some help to you.

Avail of gas
 

Hi
I used a small gas cooker on my trip through SA. They're available in bigger towns / cities in camping / hardware stores. I was just using it for cups of tea in the morning and a single bottle would last me 3-4 weeks. I can't remember ever not being able to buy them.
