Hi all,
I am looking for some advice regarding the stove in the pictures below. It is quite old and was given to my by my gramps.
My question is what canister and/or adapter will I need to use this. I am not sure if I can use an ordinary pierceable canister or if I would need some kind of adapter?

It looks like the arms are for the pot and that the cradle for the canister is missing, as that is what the threaded part would screw into.

Yes the cradle where the cylinder sits in is missing.

It's a Camping Gaz Bleuet S 200. The bottom section is missing. If you're ever wondering about an item, put the photo into Google Lens.
Unless you can find that section it I'd bin it in the name of safety. I once sprung a leak from my old MSR pump next to a river with the canister full of benzine. Luckily I was cooking on flat rock and it escalated radically but 2 or 3 douses with a 1.5 litre Nalgene bottle saved the day - there was no sand around. Had that been in the bell of a tent, it would have been catastrophic. Don't take the chance. (As an aside, MSR changed the pump design and mine has been going over 20 years now without fail.)

Luckily I was cooking on flat rock and it escalated radically but 2 or 3 douses with a 1.5 litre Nalgene bottle saved the day - there was no sand around.
