Might make sense if you are going to convert its use to car camping. Otherwise, dumb.

Well ,it seems to me that most people switch to alcohol stoves to save weight and to not carry around half empty cartidges,so It doesnt really make sense to add this converter plus a cartridge which will jack the weight back up quite a bit.I know sometimes alot of people will want to take their canister stove instead of alcohol but ,most probably already have a canister stove that is lighter than the converter setup.And in one of the reviews it even says for the price (40 quid ,whatever that translates to) you could get a new canister stove ,and prolly a lighter one at that.

Dang English! ;-)

This will make a little sense if you have one of those cooksets with pot stands.
