Portable butane stoves recalled in NSW

[lucus30]

No need for that Clunk. No one is telling you what to do.

Using the published list of current models banned from sale as a means of convincing yourself that if your cooker is not on the list it must mean it is safe is, I believe, either misinterpreting the published statement or is self deception.

I won’t stop caring though.

Its nice you care cuppa somebody has to

Interesting question about insurance. I'd rather not test it to find out though

Don't forget about cleaning the maf, it's very important you know

Well, thanks for that advice... the fireys have just left.
I sprayed the burner with MAF cleaner and the flame front was like an Apollo Moon shot... or are you supposed to do you do it with the Burner off?

P.S. I think I'll side with Cuppa because;
a) he's right, and
b) he cares

Why only nsw ? The qld govt only put a video on utube showing the right way to use one , ie don't use a big pan on a small stove , I'd post a link but I got no idea how !

That says more about this nanny state we call nsw than anything.

I probably won't use it. Not sure what to do with 8 cans of butane though.

[Cuppa]

Two state governments responding to the danger in different ways. The usual arse covering of course, but both also showing a ‘duty of care’. The timing of both state governments doing so close together suggests to me that there has probably been an awful incident.

A guy from our work had a butane gas can explode in hi work van a couple of weeks ago.
It was not one of these cans but a refill can for a gas soldering iron, he accidentally knocked a mounting bracket onto the can and it punctured the side and sparked and boom.
He was very lucky that he only got minor burns and burnt clothing, some fragments of the can embedded into a few things in the van.
Something to consider with the way the cans are stored.

And you are right to do so, after all I'm only good for wallowing in mud holes and running underwater. It's nice that he cares, I'm pretty sure I've said that too.

I didn't know that... can I side with you now please?

P.S. you owe me a can of MAF cleaner and a new pair of undies
