Camping gas in Morocco
Hi. Does anyone know if the 'screw-in' camping gas canisters are readily available in Morocco - preferably the small 100/125 gram canister - or are they the French push-fit 'pierce' type? I'm flying in so can't pack one and I'd like to take my Jetboil.
I searched HU, but no luck. I'll also need a cheapo knife, though I expect to pick one up from a market. Cheers.

Sorry to give things a nudge, but perhaps someone knows if there are camping supply shops in Morocco? I don't know if this is a stupid question as I've never been there. I've searched this site (and the web) but nothing came up.
Do petrol stations do supplies? I'd appreciate any replies. Thanks.

Hi
I got some on the north cost in Moulay bousselham but that was two years ago. This year I'm taking a petrol stove as I'm on a bike. Good luck |

If you get as far down the coast as Agadir you will find a HUGE Tesco-like store with all the camping gear you will ever need. It is heavily used by the ex-pat camping car crowd. It even has a hard liquor section.

I have a little gaz stove that uses 270 or 470 cannisters. those are by gamping gaz and are a mix of propane and butane so work anywhere. I bought it in a UK camping gear shop 12-15 years ago, and costs less than £10 ( then ).
Morroco will have french camping gaz. ( the blue cannisters). From choice when you get there the 470's last twice as long as the 270's for very little extra cost. a cannister will probably do three meals a day for 3 wweeks or more. The actual stove folds so you could easily carry it in your pocket.. |

Thanks for the suggestions so far. It's only a short trip (7 days) so I could survive without it if push came to shove. Ideally, I don't really want to buy a new stove to take the French 'push-fit' canisters, as that means I have to take an extra pot and it all adds up in space used. I'm only taking a day bag, but will consider it if all else fails.
Truth is, I just love my Jetboil. I see it as a 'water boiler' pure and simple - and it's fast! I can use it anywhere without looking like I'm 'setting up camp' - shopping precincts, bus stations, even handheld on a train! Perfect if you don't like paying tourist prices around Europe. But for Morocco, I thought it would be handy for the few times I'm on my own between towns and villages. Cheers.

oldbmw - Markill valve cartridge adaptor
oldbmw - I just found this Gas Adapter and wondered if you, or anyone else, recognize the fitting?
I think it's the one I need for Morocco. Cheers.

this price includes a gaz cylinder, but they are available anywhere, uk and continent. ( including morrocco because it is french speaking). The arms fold in, to make it very small to carry.. |

It's tempting, though I'm reluctant to add stoves (and decisions) for future trips. I'll have a ponder.
