Two words.... Fire Ban.

You can use Gas but cannot use Solid Fuel during some Fire Bans (may vary from state to state)

During a Total Fire Ban you cannot light or use a fire in the open air.
Solid fuel
You cannot use any BBQ or cooker that requires solid fuel such as wood or charcoal.
Gas
You can use a gas BBQ for cooking if it has an enclosed flame and all flammable material is cleared five metres away from around your BBQ.

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

Actually I looked up my exact model yesterday and it wasn't on the list. Mine is about 6 years old. Only been used a few times.

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.

Yeah those are the ones we use.

Although I plan to invest in a small camping stove (that runs off a BBQ gas bottle) or a small BBQ before I go camping next.

TD put us onto these adapters to use the CRV cannisters with small bbq's. Yet to try mine out but TD, to my knowledge hasn't had any issues with his.

Some more info released from QLD on the butane cookers.

You wouldnt be using them during a fire ban, we had one on the banks of the Murray when Parks rolled up on black Saturday.
As it only had a kettle on it they said not to use it again today, their take on it is a strong breeze may knock a hot chop bone off the grill and start a fire.
I personally would like to see a fire started by a loin chop, fasinating, that was 9 in the morning the wind never arrived till 10 past 10 freaking scarey I tell you
I use these cannistors with the gas ring if I take it

I have the same cannisters and knocked up universal fitting so I can use them on both my 3 burner cooker and small bbq as they both take 2 different sized fittings.
Works a treat as I originally made them up fir the Simmo trip last year that never ended up being able to make it.

Never really thought about this until now reading ET's post, so would these cookers as well as a bbq gas rings be on the banned list during a Fire Ban? I would not class the flame as enclosed so assume they would be

For NSW Todd:

Doesn't really expand on what is classified as a BBQ

Can I use a gas barbeque?

You can use a gas barbeque under the following conditions:

• It is under the direct control of a responsible adult, who is present at all times while it is operating;
• No combustible material is allowed within two metres at any time it is operating;
• You have an immediate and continuous supply of water; and
  
  • The barbeque is within 20 metres of a permanent private dwelling such as a home; or
  • The barbeque is within a designated picnic area and the appliance is approved by Council, National Parks or State Forest.

General Advice on a Day of Total Fire Ban

Can I have a barbecue, light a campfire or light a fire for warmth or comfort?

Yes - Barbecues that are fixed appliances:

• fired by gas or electricity, being permanently fixed structures built of stone, metal, concrete or another non-flammable material designed exclusively for meal preparation
• or that use only gas or electricity, are designed and commercially manufactured exclusively for meal preparation (including portable barbecues), and when alight are placed in a stable position, provided that:
  
  • the area within a distance of 3 metres from the outer perimeter of the barbecue is clear of flammable material
  • you have either a hose connected to a water supply or a vessel with at least
  • 10 litres of water for immediate use
  • an adult is there at all times when the fire is alight who has the capacity and means to extinguish the fire
  • the fire is completely extinguished before the adult leaves.

No - Campfires, fires for warmth or personal comfort are banned during Total Fire Ban Days. Solid and liquid fuel barbecues and ovens are also banned during Total Fire Ban Days.

That is a lot more strict than Vic. You only need to have 10L of water at the ready and you can cook away.
