you're going to **** around over $20 ?

i'll continue to use my two for steamboats . This ruling is just to protect ****ing idiots who should be up for a darwin award anyway

Yeah me too. While I am certain the NSW and QLD cookers are no more or less dangerous as ours in the west, the bulletin only recommends them not to be used. It doesn't ban their use. I'll continue to use mine until I can no longer buy the gas for them.

Toph, best check on actuals with the use of these here in WA, as on news a few nights back, these were claimed to be "banned" from sale here in WA and an incentive not to use them, a $2000 fine in place if found to be using these items. I may have miss-heard the topic, but best to be sure
Just took my old ones back to outlet, all received, and store credit given. Bit of a pain as these are great to use.

mineral could you let me know where this was written.

I think I might keep away from seabreeze and keep using my cookers and tying my boards down with rope. Ignorance is bliss

I don't mind so much about the stove getting sidelined - as long as I can still get the cans of gas.

my half made brass annealing machine is designed around my butane torch, and I don't want the hassle of changing my design again.

They are a standard type of gas cylinder, so I would expect they wouldn't disappear. They are used in a lot of other things besides these cheap stoves. They evolved around the idea that these type of cans were already certified for aerosol use with butane as an propellant, so they decided to just use butane as a fuel source.

On ebay you can buy adapters for these cylinders to go to the threaded type connections and vice versa, so you should be able to find options. In my case, BCF even sell an adapter to go from these cylinders to a screw connection, so you can use other gas burners with a threaded connection.

Is your butane torch the threaded type of the clamp-on type?

Looks like a few single and dual burner stoves are now being recalled, with more likely to come:

Oztrail—The Anywhere Stove portable butane gas cooker
AHM Limited—Campmaster Twin burner portable butane gas cooker
Austcrown Pty Ltd—Auscrown AD90 Handy Range
Chens Bros Trading Pty Ltd—Butane Gas Cooker
Sitro Group Australia—Twin Portable Butane Cooker
