Could I use but and however together in a sentence, just as:
The weather was stormy but, however we went out into wide open spaces.
Thank you.

Not a teacher.

Maybe I am not qualified enough to offer you the help, but the sentence does sound weird to me.

You have to strike one of the term out.

Here are 2 more similar examples:
1. The book is too long but, nonetheless, informative and entertaining.
2. The old system had its flaws, but nevertheless it was preferable to the new one.

Do you accept "but + however" in one sentence?
Thank you very much indeed.

No you can't use 'but' and 'however' together.
However, the sentences above are correct.
