camping gas

Outdoor cooking fuel

Camping gas is portable fuel used for outdoor cooking and heating, typically butane or propane sold in small canisters that attach to camp stoves and lanterns.

The term is more common in British English; Americans often say camp fuel or refer to specific brands: We need to pick up some camping gas before the trip.
