I need butane cartridges for this.
Does anyone know where I can purchase some?
Brinkmann Qwiklite Butane Stove
Quartz Ignition
B & ? International Inc.
Jacksonville, FL 32245-903?
Made in Italy
upc 0 39953 12001 5
Some other number: 841-0100-4
Possibly model number?
The question marks in the company name and
zip were characters that were worn off box.
The canister, they call it a cartridge, is about 3" in diameter and 3" tall.
It's a nice little stove, I would hate to throw it away because I cannot find refills.
Thanks in advance for any help. |

Can't you write to the company that is here in the USA? I'd think that would be the way to do it. I have never seen one of those stoves, so i can't help you!

| Sounds, too, like it might be a stove with a little "age" on it and no telling if it's still being made and by whom. Besides, the price now-a-days for the these off brand replacement throw-away fuel tanks can be astronomical. Let me give you an example ... a friend of mine is getting to the age where back-packing is just not a good idea and he gave me his "GAZ"back-packing stove. It very well might be a good stove for back packers but for my use, not so good. The disposable butane fuel tanks are expensive, plus they do not hold the fuel content of the 16oz Coleman types. I took my tent up to the North Carolina mountains this past summer for a 5-day outing to see if we could catch a few trout and we camped streamside. I made the mistake of taking this GAZ stove, along with the two or three extra tanks that my friend had given to me, and neglected to take my old single burner standby Peak stove. Well, used those GAZ tanks up kinda fast and then went into Brevard to see if I could find who might carry this brand. Found an outdoor provision store that carried them but the price per tank was $6.95 each! To be sure, their Coleman tanks were high, too (something like $3.50), but they contained more fuel! I ended up going down the road a little ways to the K-Mart and bought a single burner (made in China) butane stove that uses the Coleman type tank. The stove was only $8.00 - plus their store brand of Coleman type 16oz tanks were $1.99 each. The end of this story is that I gave that Gaz stove, along with the pouch that held the stove and it's accessories and what was left of the fuel in the last remaining tank, to a woman back-packer. She was so delighted! Now I have another back-up stove to the other back-up stove, which is a back-up stove to the main popup camper stove! Dale |
