Coleman 16.4 oz Propane Camping Cylinder (12-Pack)
The Coleman 16.4 oz propane camping cylinder is the standard 1-pound fuel canister for portable camping appliances. Each steel cylinder features a universal CGA 600 connection that fits Coleman stoves, lanterns, tabletop grills, and most other 1-pound propane appliances, with a stable base and reliable valve for safe, easy operation. Pre-filled and ready to use, these clean-burning cylinders are ideal for car camping, tailgating, beach trips, and emergency preparedness. A 12-pack gives a family roughly a season of weekend trips without resupply stops.

Nothing kills a campfire dinner faster than running out of fuel on day two of a long weekend. A 12-pack of Coleman's universal 16.4 oz cylinders means you stop rationing heat and start cooking — one cylinder runs a single-burner stove at high for roughly 1.5-2 hours.
🏆 How It Compares
These are the same squat green 1-pound cylinders sold at every Walmart, gas station, and ranger station — the universal CGA 600 connection fits virtually every portable propane appliance on the market. The 12-pack price lands around $5.40 per cylinder, roughly half the per-canister cost of buying singles, and Coleman's valve reliability is the industry benchmark. The tradeoff: you're committing storage space to 12 steel cylinders, and like all propane, cold-weather performance drops as the canister empties.
