Doesn't matter, just needs to be isobutane. Certain brands like MSR (PICTURED), Jetboil, Primus, make nice small sized canisters that can fit inside a pot, but they're more expensive. White and...

Good deal, but in the price range I'd suggest the Soto Amicus instead. Better wind blocking. It's the best stove under $80 in my opinion.

I know, the weight difference is minimal and does not make it a more attractive item.
4.5 - 2.6 = 1.9 oz or 53 g, plus it has no built-in starter.
