Portable butane stoves recalled in NSW

[TPC]

I will keep using mine as I live in SA and it is only a problem in NSW.
Must be the dirty air over there causing a problem.

Seems all the stoves that use those portable butane canisters have been recalled in NSW

Not before time, they’re bloody dangerous things. I know of two people personally who have come to grief with the damn things. One lost some eyebrows & one almost lost their motorhome. When my one leaked & had flames coming out of parts where flames shouldn’t come out (using brand name canister) a few years ago I decided to turf it.

Damn I have 6 canisters to use, maybe this weekend. May as well throw them in the campfire, as they're not safe to use.

Oh well, time to dust off the old coleman, will just have to grab a smaller more portable bottle for short trips. Still canjot beat my little hiking stove for those fly fishing wander though, best fresh fish you can get.

We were camping about 100m away from a group when we heard an almighty bang. I grabbed my torch and ran over as I knew there were youngens camping with their dads at the campsite.
When I got there the two dads were just sitting there shell shocked and the kids thought whatever happened was awesome with snags and eggs all over the place and a twisted up stove laying on the ground. Once we worked out what had happened we found the butane canister and a knife and tongs about 15m away.
Vowed never to buy one and pittied the poor Dads having to explain to the missuses why the were home early.

Or stick your wallet between the cooker and the bottle to get the connection juuuuuuust right when you're in the laundry desperately trying to make a coffee because your tent leaked and you got wet... Lmao!

I don't know what your talking about

Yeah that was a crap time!!!

Yeah that was a crap time!!!

Hahahahaha. I wonder if this ban has something to do with it being so easy to buy the canisters which so many people use as explosives in camp sites?

Wifey had a shot at me for buying the Coleman last week for $160 bucks and said I should have just bought another single burner to go with the one we had. I showed her the recall and she said lucky you didn't buy that single burner like you were going to. Lol

I upgraded to a two burner and bottle set up this summer. Nothing to do with safety just sick of waiting for the canister ones to cook. I want a lot of meat, cooked hot, NOW!
