Portable butane stoves recalled in NSW

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

Wow. Everyone I know has one of these.
I wonder if this is just over reaction from the bureaucracy? I just forwarded the link to my club secretary so he can forward it on to all the members.

Glad I bought a Coleman stove last week. The won't be any left soon.

Hmmm interesting..

On a different subject, I was at the tip the other day looking around the "green shed" where they sell everything they collect and spotted one of these cookers.
Anyway it still had the gas canister in it so I'd thought I'd fire it up to see if it works...all good till now. Then I sparked it up and the ferker fired up straitght away and I thought you beauty I might score a bargain here. A few seconds later the whole thing was on fire(imagine this) I'm running and trying to get the furking thing out of the building laughingh my guts out when I realised I'm ganna burn the whole place down...LOL

Anyway, I'm still alive

Coleman will be laughing all the way to the bank

So Nisshead, are you doing a Mythbusters episode and testing to see if the claims of unsafe stoves is true?

Strewth... there would have to be a million or more in the public domain at least.

I'd like to know what the problem is that they 'found' after all these years.

Oh funny shit you had me in tears

I always laugh when people sleep with the canisters during winter, otherwise they won't fire in the morning or something! I think last year my mate had about 4 of them in his swag, and being in the high country, they still wouldnt work in the morning as it was farkin' stupidly cold!

Hell yeah, I'm always open to suggestions.

In this episode I'll need a few volunteers and a few stoves to do the experiment but I can promise you one thing...YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED!!! bwahhaha
