The one's I've seen are almost universally made in Korea (even the
ones marketed by Target Stores) and have a pretty standard cartridge
design; they do warn to only use a specific brand of fuel, but that's
usually not all that important. I find a lot of these available at
East Asian supermarkets sold near the cookware and rice cookers. I
used to work near a local market where the owners were Korean, and
they had one model of these stoves available next to the charcoal,
lighter fluid, and firewood.

The original poster seems to be based in the UK, so a lot of the
recommendations probably have to be based around what's available
there. I found that there are refillable LPG tanks available there
(similar to US propane tanks) for gas grills and motorhomes/RVs. I
know in the US Century Tool has an adapter to allow the use of
multiple Coleman-style canister devices off of a single tank, but that
kind of device may not be common in the UK. I don't think I go
camping often enough to justify one of those, and the standard Coleman
bottles are cheap.

I've heard of all sorts of ways to get portable Bernzomatic propane
canisters to work with different devices. Not refillable, but cheap
with good performance in cold weather. I don't know how safe they
would be though.
