butane canister

Portable gas container

A butane canister is a small pressurized metal container holding liquefied butane gas, used as portable fuel for camping stoves, torches, and lighters.

The canisters typically attach to devices via a threaded or bayonet fitting: I need to pick up a new butane canister for the backpacking trip.

Also called butane cartridge or fuel canister.
