Portable butane stoves recalled in NSW

[relyimah]

Just reading through this thread... Definitely a bit of a concern...
Can attest to the same "it hasn't happened to me" way of thinking but really the justification is that they are just so damn convenient.

A little common sense does go a long way but I will certainly be on the lookout for another option that matches like for like in size, etc. DO NOT want to have to start carrying a gas bottle around (and don't want the double burners anyway) and most of my cooking is done on the rear door table so need another similar option....

these work a treat

I’ve got one of these somewhere. Optimus 8R. Swedish. Used to fill it from the fuel tanks on my bikes. Absolutely roars. Self pressurising. ⅓rd size of a lunchbox cooker. 1 tank fill lasts 50 minutes.

Mine is not on the list I'm thinking its the later ones that are failing, but at $35
for a Coleman one thats no going to break the bank for ease of mind
I do have a Trangia, never used it, MR and a few others use a JET BOIL cooker

Anyone got a link to these ones? Cheapest Coleman I could find on their, some was way more and a double burner job...

I've found out that only certain models of these have been recalled, not all brands have.

I rarely use mine so it's not a major issue to me. I have a Campmaster brand.

Campmaster is on the banned list of makes and models,
Make sure you use it in an open area, but I would throw it TBO

[oncedisturbed]

Campmaster are 1 of the only makers of cannisters with the CRV installed, just use those type cannisters and nothing oversize on the flame.

Most, not all, of the instances were unsafe use and unsafe cannisters. Yes some were just plain stOOpid like setting alight heat beads.

Any cannistera like these in the photo and all should be good. At the end of the day, use what you fell comfortable using.

Just realized my band new never used, Campmaster is banned too. Cost me $20 from Big W, so care not if I chuck it out ...
I only bough it to quickly get some water hot for coffee in the mornings. I wouldnt cook on it .
