Coleman 16 oz Propane Fuel Cylinder, 2 Pack
Product Information, Not A Review
Quick Specs
What Stands Out
What To Check
The Coleman 16 oz propane cylinder is the green 1 lb tank that screws onto portable heaters, camp stoves, lanterns and small grills. It is one of Amazon's top sellers in Camping Stove Accessories, and it is the cylinder most portable propane gear in a garage is designed to use.
It is built for keeping fuel on hand before you need it. When a winter storm is in the forecast, the store shelves empty fast. A few cylinders set aside ahead of time mean the heater or the camp stove works when the power does not.
The Numbers That Matter
16 oz of propane per cylinder. That is the fuel load a portable heater or stove runtime is rated on. On the Mr. Heater Portable Buddy, Mr. Heater lists about 3 hours on high and 6 hours on low per cylinder, so do the math for the number of nights you want to cover.
Standard 1 lb fitting. It fits standard portable propane appliances, tabletop grills and propane torches, so the same stock serves the heater during an outage and the small camp gear on a spring trip.
Never above 120 F. This is the storage rule on the label. A closed garage in a Texas summer can get close, so pick the coolest ventilated spot you have.
| Spec | What it decides |
|---|---|
| 16 oz per cylinder | How long your heater or stove runs |
| Standard 1 lb fitting | Which gear it fuels |
| Steel cylinder | Durability on the shelf |
| 120 F storage limit | Where in the garage it can live |
Label warnings. Coleman's label says the contents are extremely flammable, under pressure, and a fire, explosion and carbon monoxide hazard. Keep cylinders away from heat, sparks, open flame and direct sunlight. Store them in a well-ventilated place such as a garage or shed, not inside the living space, and keep them out of reach of children. Connect and disconnect cylinders away from any flame or spark, and only burn propane indoors in an appliance that is rated for indoor use, with the ventilation its manual requires and a working carbon monoxide alarm.
Who It Is For
The dad who owns a portable propane heater, stove or lantern and wants the fuel side of the plan covered before winter. Pair it with the Mr. Heater Portable Buddy and a Kidde COB battery carbon monoxide alarm, and the heat plan has fuel and a warning system. An Etekcity CL10 LED camping lantern handles light without burning any fuel at all.

The Short Version
A portable heater or camp stove is only useful if there is fuel on the shelf. Buy cylinders before the forecast turns, store them in a ventilated garage or shed away from heat and kids, and use them on camping trips so the stock stays fresh.
