Another gas explosion?


I wonder if it was one of the lunchbox ones.

we were able to buy the lunch box type cooker in NSW about 4 weeks ago and of course nearly all the appropriate shops are selling the canisters..........

It was a large camping type store and when I asked them about being withdrawn and banned from sale - they said yep - but this ones were the new style and were approved (looked the same as the old ones to me)

We just make sure we use it outdoors, rather than in the 'van and don't use a pot or fry pan that is too big and in the process deflecting intense heat down onto the canister which will probably cause it to rupture and catch alight

Re the lunchbox cookers - I was told by one of the outdoor shops that Primus was bringing out a new one in about 2 months - that was about a month ago! If that is going to be the only one on the market at the moment, then it will be interesting to know what they will charge seeing as they will have "cornered the market".
