Camping stove of death

[Jack]

Surely it would be a faulty cannister that causes an explosion rather than the stove itself?

either way, not good

Ye spud was like that one hence why I've posted it as I know we all use them I've used mine in the past to warm the tent never will again and when cooking I'll be well clear if I have to use one of them again, as said my mum is on the mend but is a bit shocked

[Hobbit]

I guess this is why we are banned from having them in our trucks. Unless you're on the telly, then you can cook away on your derv tank

Hope your Mum gets better asap

bad news rich! Hope your old dear is on the mend soon!

[hendrix]

I have two of these, will have to think twice next time. iirc you can get them for like 3 quid in Poundstretcher.
Anyway, send best wishes to ya mam

there are some shockingly different quality canisters on the market.. i had a rogue one last year on a camping trip to rutland water, and now i only buy them from a reputable supply (ie. not from a discount shop with a name that is an anagram of M&B)

hope she recovers quick & the injuries aren't too permanent.
