I just upgraded to a gas (LPG) double burner. $50 from BCF, but you do need to buy a gas bottle too, I already had a 2kg bottle. I found those butane ones chew through the canisters way too fast.
I have the COTD one for about 18 months and its great but Rays have it all sorted now. The Blowmould case is massive!
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
Rays Outdoors now sell them for $34.95 but they don't come in a blow mould case (which is huge) normal price is $50 rrp. BCF will have the same thing.

I know that plenty of folks have used those butane stoves for ages without problem.......... But........ During our travels around Oz I heard of several first hand instances where folks had been using them & they blew up, luckily with only minor injuries, singed hair & the like. One person had their vehicle saved by a quick thinking neighbours with a fire extinguisher. The main problem is that folk tend to put to large pots or frypans onto them, which partially sit over the top of the canister compartment.
However I removed the one I had fitted to an external drop down door on the side of our bus after the seal between the canister & the stove became leaky. First I knew was when I lit the stove the flames weren't where they were supposed to be. I reckon I was pretty lucky it wasn't worse.
I had a heap of (brand name) canisters left over, & more recently bought a blowtorch attachment for them to solder up some Andersen plugs. New canister worked just fine for the first few I did, but then started leaking. I could see the vapour escaping. If I hadn't been on the ball it could have been pretty nasty.
As a result I've now given up on any appliances which use those canisters, I just don't trust them any more. When using yours please don't get complacent with them. Check EVERY time you use them to ensure you have no leaks.

I have the original U-Bute twin burner with hot plate and have never had an issue, also don't put over-size pots etc on it either. The blow mold case is very large and does take up quite a bit of room but still worth using it
