In my opinion safety is paramount and a cheap gas stove is a potential death trap.

Possibly true to say a decent brand such as Campinggaz is better designed/safer but still the method of sealing a gas cartridge leaves a lot to be desired as far as safety goes.

Obviously they are very popular as they are cheaper than the traditional stove and regulator/gas bottle setup and smaller in size etc but as has been said they are also limited in their use with pot size, some people do not understand or are even aware of the risks involved.

It seems anything China chucks out nowadays is allowed into the UK, safe or not!
