 A butane stove is an excellent cooking tool to have in the outdoors. You can cook your food in less then half the time compared to using solid fuel and you can actually do cooking (control the heat easily). Hence it is good to know how to setup the stove properly so that you can use it for a long period of time.

The Parts

The Campingaz Blueut butane stove comes in two parts (the canister comes separately). To cook, you need:

  1. The Burner (top part, has a needle at the bottom to pierce the canister)
  2. The stove holder
  3. The canister (C 206 model)
Clipping in the canister

Step 1:

Place the canister to fit right into the holder as shown.

Step 2:

Close up the legs. The base can still easily open, but will not be able to do so once you screw in the burner.

Step 3:

Screw in the burner. Before doing so, make sure the gas valve is closed fully (but not too tightly; doing so will wear out the threads quickly). 

You will know that you have connected the burner to the canister when you cannot screw down any further. There will most likely not be any sound when the canister has been pierced.

To test that the canister has been pierced, turn on the gas by turning the gas handle in a clockwise manner in a well ventilated area (outdoors is the best). If you hear the sound of the gas, the stove is ready for use.

Usage:

Turn on the gas and holding a lighter or matchstick below the part where the gas comes out from, light the stove. A flame is not clearly visible, but you can feel the heat of the stove very soon.

Once screwed on, do not remove the canister until it has been completely used. You can then replace the canister following the steps above.
