Occassionally, when Lighting, it you may get a bit of a Flare up, a reasonably sized Orange flame. It is only scary if you are not expecting it to happen once in a while.

Once going, they are very effective, I have never purchased Coleman Fuel, always have used unleaded. The key driver for my original choice was that we were traveling through many different countries, and we did not need to worry about whether we had the correct regulator or not for the local supplier, as well as camping in winter, where butane has been known to be effected by the cold weather.

Troubleshooting Flare ups.

I am also a fan of the Coleman dual fuel stoves and lamps.
When you light the stove there is an optimum time to ignite the fuel air mix. Leave it a few seconds too long and you get a big pop as the excess fuel ignites. If you have not pumped the tank enough then insufficient mix is getting through the burner then the fuel ignites just under the burner and instead of tight blue flames you get yelow flames about 10cm high.
The beauty of a petrol stove or lamp is that you will always get fuel.
There are other stoves on the market that also run on multifuels esp especially the Primus OmniFuel Stove which will run on anything.

Do they smell petroly? As a lifelong sufferer from travel sickness, very car-y smells like petrol, warm plastic or warm leather always make me nauseous

They don't smell that bad. If you use Coleman or aspen fuel then it smells like a zippo lighter.

Any smell would be about the same as using a small straight petrol lawnmower or any small petrol internal combustion engine and probably less.
