Camping
From Burden's Landing
Cooking
I have a small isobutane stove that I use. For car camping, The Wirecutter recommends the Coleman Classic two-burner.
Sports Basement recycles isobutane canisters for free. You can recycle them yourself by making sure they're completely empty, puncturing them using a can opener, and taking them to a recycling center. (It looks like San Francisco curbside will recycle steel cans.) (Here's another howto.)
