Portable butane stoves recalled in NSW

[Clunk]

A snippet taken from http://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/ft..._cookers.page? regarding double canister burners

What about double canister burners?

The ‘stop sale’ relates to single burner portable butane cookers. Fair Trading is continuing to look at double burner cookers and still has concerns regarding their use.
Consumers should carefully follow the user instructions when using double burner cookers. Always allow for adequate air flow. Never use the canisters in a way that overheats them, as this contributes to canister explosions. As such, you should never:

• use oversized pans when cooking
• use them on very hot days
• use the device to heat up heat beads.

So I wonder how long it will take for them to decide that the doubles should be pulled from the market too!!!!!????

Thats the safety feature... same as fighting Oil field fires with explosives.
When the 2nd one explodes it blows the 1st one out

Thanks for posting the link, we have one of these bought years and years ago. Probably around 7 years back. Only used it a few times.

I have quite a few of these burners and never had an issue with them. Having said that, I have never put over size pots or pans on them nor tried to light heat beads with them either.

Jumbuck from Bunnings bought out a set that included a purpose built non stick hot plate for the to prevent people from using over sized fry pans, great little plates and good for 1 to 2 people depending on appetites. I keep 2 of these in the drawers of my troll including a small pot / kettle set that is suitable for these cookers.

Further to this, Coleman issued a statement this morning as shown in the image.
