| 615128 | 2007-11-26 01:14:00 | Hi Guys I just bought one of those small Campmaster gas burners, the ones that use a gas cartridge from Mitre 10 etc. I have not used it yet, as I am a chicken and worried about it blowing up in my face ! Also I do not have an outside shed to store it in once I have started using it, so wondered how safe they are to store in my basement ? Regards Digby |

Doh! I'd place it in the coolest part of the garage as close to the floor as possible. (Cooler down there) |

By the way, I used those things almost exclusively for nigh on 18 months, and they never gave me trouble. They are very cheap to buy and run, and give very good heat. [Edit]: I do recommend that you store the cartridges in a cool, dark place. |

| 615132 | 2007-11-28 05:51:00 | Watch out for it if the canister is full but the thing won't light - we had an experience with one that didn't go, when it finally did the flame wasn't small and blue like it should be, but yellow and a lot bigger :lol: I guess the regulator or whatever was broken, but nobody bothered to find out afaik |

| 615133 | 2007-11-28 06:26:00 | We use them for tramping when we don't take a white spirits stove. We used to take Gaz (little blue canisters), but we found they stink real bad in your pack when they're empty. In fact it got so bad one day, we buried one under a tree stump (naughty, naughty!!). Anyway, the campmaster ones are better because they seal off, so they don't leak fumes when they're empty. | TideMan (4279) | ||

| 615136 | 2007-11-28 19:28:00 | Digby they are safe enough. I used to carry them in my Roadtrain when I did Brisbane to Darwin runs many years ago. They rattled around and used to wear some of the paint off, and my food cans used to wear all the labels off so I sometimes had pot-luck dinners, like a can of stew mixed with a can of peaches. With all the heat and rattling around i never had any problems with any gas canisters. I used to get through a few of them on a return Darwin trip. I now just have my canisters in my camping box with all the other stuff laying in my garage. I only use about 4-5 a year now days. |
