This compact ceramic heating burner features an infrared heat source that can be adjusted from ambient to 2012°F (1100°C).
Fuel capacity is 40 gms (1 to 2 hrs/fill).... I wonder if the Butane refills you get for lighters would work to refill this?Do I feel a group buy coming on?

I use a butane burner for my Yama tabletop vac put, and these refill cartridges.

Convenience has its price.

I use a butane burner for my Yama tabletop vac put, and these refill cartridges.... but at a 1 to 2 hour burn span between refills and at an average 5 minutes of heating each brew cycle, you'd still be able to brew at most around 20 vac-pots before a refill. The refills you linked to each hold 150gr of fuel, which comes down to just under 4 fills, or 75 pots of coffee per canister.. not too daunting, if I may say.

Convenience has its price.How so?On the listing it has 3 canisters ... and it goes on to say "Each canister contains 150 grams of butane".
