    I can't believe I just found your video on RUclips literally a week after doing exactly what you've shown here to my dad's old campingaz stove. Wish I'd seen it earlier. Great video though.

      That's awesome! Maybe next time, you search RUclips vids before fixing stuff? That's what I do!

    We did this recently to my old beloved Globetrotter stove that I refused to get rid of even though we haven't been able to use it since 2001 when the last fuel canister ran out. Not only does it work again, but the re-fit shaved a good 5+ ounces off the weight. We happened to have a Peak 1 hanging around that my husband was never impressed with and he was happy to offer it up for sacrifice. Love that you did it, too!

    This is fantastic news, Ingrid, many thanks.
    My Globetrotter that has sat unused since 1987, can be resurrected.
    Very grateful for your post.

    I last used mine in 1978. It fired right up, no problem.

    Thanks. I think I'll upgrade my own good old Globe Trotter stove that way. For some reason, I love that thing. There are better/lighter alternatives, but it's good enough for my week-end hikes. When I ran out of GT106 cartridges, I first grabbed legs from a Bleuet stove and used the Globe Trotter stove with C206 cartridges. It wouldn't fit entirely in the pot (3-4 cm gap) but it was still better than a regular bulkier Bleuet with additional pot. Later I replaced the original valve with a "Bleuet Micro" valve for newer CV cartridges : the CV270Plus cartridges would fit with the stove inside the pot, and it was lighter (no more bell and callipers). But Camping Gaz also discontinued these proprietary cartridges and I'm now out of stock for them (and never considered refilling some of them before I ditched them all, stupid me) ! So thanks to you I'll move on to a Lindal/EN417 standard - final (?) - solution. And from now on I'll refill my canisters... You might want to save that last empty GT106 canister : it can also be refilled, through the stove valve.

    I've done this exact conversion on both my Globetrotters, and also a Campingaz lamp, which used the slightly larger 206 canisters. It works brilliantly, and resurrected my favourite cooking solution back to life. Now I can choose to use any of the Lindall valve modern canisters on all of these devices, and with the smallest 4 ounce ones, the stove is even shorter than before, and fits perfectly into the kit. I think that internal valve of the Peak is actually made by Campingaz, and just window dressed by Coleman to hide it. Just BTW, the Svea 123 Swedish stove also fits perfectly into the Globetrotter system. BTW2: The great Globetrotter stove, once converted, fits perfectly into the Stanley Mountain Compact cook set (minus the cups), and in turn, the pot of that set sits perfectly into the Globetrotter's little holding brackets on top. They fit into each other! Just for a little modern take on the old faithful 🙂.

    Very cool. I wanted to see a video about how older camping stoves staged to cartridges before the lindal valve.

    The new CampingGaz lantern valves are the same thread size as the original globe trotter. So they are interchangeable.

    Hi, very inspiring information but I found out that the coleman peak 1 gas stove is not for sale in the EU (not a part of the products coleman sells in the EU). If you live in the EU you might consider buying the Primus Mimer Stove, which will cost you € 29,95 and fits perfect as well. I revived my own camping gaz stove with it works very well.

      Thanks Cesar - good to know EU people have options to revive their Gaz stoves too :-) Very helpful info!

      Hello. I live in the EU. I tried with the Primus Mimer Stove... Technically, it works : the GlobeTrotter burner+windstopper fits on the Primus Mimer valve. But that valve throws a damn lot of gas resulting in impressive flames that climb on the sides of the GlobeTrotter pot. That's wasted energy... And the Primus valve is very difficult to set on a low "simmering" allure. With my regular GlobeTrotter it takes only 6 grams of gas to boil 0.415 liters of water. On a 110g canister that would be 18 boils. With the Mimer valve I cannot get less than 8 grams per boil (only 13 boils). On Amazon US, I have ordered a "Coleman Classic 1-stove" which appears to be the exact same stove as the Peak 1, only with a different name, and is only 20$. I should receive it in about a week now...

    Not blowing my horn but I will..
    I started this conversion before anyone knew about it..
    Knowing Coleman bought out Campingaz U.S.A. (REASON FUEL CANISTERS WERE DISCONTINUED) I noticed the similarities between the Peak 1 packer stove and the Campingaz Twister 270 Stove.
    This led to "Could It Be, Can It Be"???? And that's how it started..
    This works on the lanterns as well, just need to swap jets remove the lamp heads and screw them on to the Peak 1.
