<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi! I was just wondering about the availability of gas canisters for hiking stoves in Kunming and Yunnan as a whole?

Also, if anyone has been hiking up around Dali, would they recommend using a multi-fuel stove or just a gas canister stove? And if a multi-fuel stove is recommended, is it possible to purchase one in Kunming?

Thanks!]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Personally, I prefer multi-fuel stoves. 
They heat faster, are not affected by cold and wind as much, and you can always find fuel. I have been to a lot of gas stations, and they have a large teapot (believe it or not) that they use to fill motorbikes. It would be easy to fill a fuel bottle this way.
I have only seen gas stoves using something like a large aerosol can. There are camping shops in Dali that may be able to supply you, but I could not guarantee it.

CAVEAT
It is bush-fire season, you would not be allowed naked flames on the mountainsides in most of Yunnan.]]></content:encoded>

If you are only going to Dali, and surrounding area, try to buy a stove in Dali. There are a couple of outdoor clothes stores. Maybe one of them sells stoves, but you may not be able to use it on the mountain; if that is what you were planning.]]></content:encoded>

A while back, German Democratic Republic produced petrol stove called Jewel. It costs 11.20 DM, equivalent of 1.2 Eur. Sure that changed "a bit" but is it still available. I bought one using eBay from Austria for 40 Eur, i.e. little bit over 300 RMB. similar one is here:
