    Is this deal available in any Woolworths in Sydney? It would be handy for the camping!!

    • dtorr on 17/03/2013 - 19:06

      Should be nation-wide. They're apart of a promo for a two-burner camp stove.

  • froggyalice on 17/03/2013 - 19:16

    Does anyone know what's the good way to dispose the empty can? In recycle bin? Thank you

        lol, 7 upvotes and 7 downvotes on this commment :)

      Go outside and empty the can by pressing the head down on a brick or concrete until the hissing stops. after it's empty it is safe to just add to the regular domestic recycle bin.

      I sell Butane and Butane accessories.

          Haha I also highly recommend these. Extremely hot flames.

          Saw someone using as a weedkiller (good if allergic to sprays..maybe)

        • Geewhizz on 18/03/2013 - 06:56

          I have a 'wand' version of the same thing, which is specifically designed for just that purpose. It sure saves the back.

      Cheers, great idea, just bought one. Got heaps of can left over from camping and this is another way to use them.

  • dannyboi on 17/03/2013 - 19:34

    That's very cheap. I use it for the portable desktop stoves for hotpots, and they're generally 4 for $6.

  • clandestino on 17/03/2013 - 19:44

    can anyone advise, what is the shelf life of these 12 cans? I don't mean what's printed on the label (if anything).

    I've got 8 cans downstairs that I bought from anaconda….7 yrs ago now?

    • Geewhizz on 18/03/2013 - 06:58

      Unless they've gone rusty they'll be fine. But in your situation I'd definitely be asking myself, "Although it's a bargain, do I really need it?"

    • King Tightarse on 18/03/2013 - 16:47

      Wot he sed

      Cans of butane should be pretty much indefinite unless the can is damaged.

    this should go well with the Coles buy a gasmate cooker and get 4 cartridges free in this weeks catalogue ($20 all up)

    Just check with my local store in St Ives. They are still $12 each!!! so this special is not nation wide

    • Scaregdearimasu on 18/03/2013 - 15:09

      My local in tweed City is also at $12 each but also sold out.

  • Telios on 17/03/2013 - 21:01

    Any ideas if these canisters will fit an MSR Pocket Rocket?

    • Scaregdearimasu on 17/03/2013 - 21:30

      dunno if it'd fit but boy you'd have a balancing act on your hands if it did.

      • Telios on 17/03/2013 - 21:50

        Ha ha. Sometimes the tall/thin canisters will fit on sideways.

        But yeah I'll probably stick to the cans that fit in my mug/pot combo.

    none in bankstown woolworths

    I spotted one of these stashed in some obscure spot at Kmart a couple of years ago (had never seen them on display in the camping.sporting section) marked with a clearance sticker at $35. It works very well, and runs for about 6 hours on a single can. I'm not sure whether they'd be suitable for using indoors though … you'd have to check on that.

    • snappy1234 on 18/03/2013 - 07:23

      That is a bargain Geewhiz…and 6 hours running on 1 can :)

      • King Tightarse on 18/03/2013 - 12:46

        Well they say they use ~100g per hour and the cans are 220g.
        6 hours seems a bit hopeful.

        BTW Did anyone find this price at any other Safewqay/Woolies at all?

    • AMLagonda on 18/03/2013 - 12:54

      I used one inside when the power is out :p

      • Scaregdearimasu on 18/03/2013 - 15:13

        Make sure you have some ventilation or you'll die of Carbon Monoxide poisoning.

  • mywrx on 18/03/2013 - 16:30

    cant find any store selling these for $5.99 in Sydney

    • monarocv8 on 18/03/2013 - 22:52

      $12 at Top Ryde. Shame the pic isn't a little bit clearer so we can read the dates on the bottom of the ticket.
      Maybe they mis-ordered and they're trying to get rid of them at the local store level…

  • kwaker on 18/03/2013 - 16:56

    the catalogue just came and it says $12 in there.

  • mywrx on 18/03/2013 - 19:37

    well…People in Victoria always get things cheaper than Sydney

  • plague69 on 18/03/2013 - 20:09

    Just that store.

    Southland also $12. Still, $1 a can isn't bad…

  • theguru1 on 20/03/2013 - 12:00

    Eastland Victoria $12 for 12.

  • King Tightarse on 23/03/2013 - 08:40

    Hey liquid12 or anyone thats been there recently:

    Are these still available for that price?
    Its the supermarket inside Westfield Doncaster, right?

  • Scaregdearimasu on 07/04/2013 - 23:35

    If anyone has any Woolies with clearance bins go check out the clearance bins I was able to grab 36 cans at 45c each. they were all separate (I think either employees dropped boxes or customers knocked over boxes). oddly though 32 cans were priced at 50c each, but 4 were priced at 45c so was able to to get them all priced at 45c,

  • plague69 on 13/04/2013 - 04:06

    Southland now has stock for $6

    edit: not damaged. in box
