So, do you guys think that the party grill is safe enough? I was thinking to get one as well to replace the smokey barbie...

I have a Party Grill. I wouldn`t use it inside a tent, but that`s because I don`t cook in the main tent anyway. It`s very stable, easy to change the gas cannisters, the gas is under the flame ...yes, I would think it`s pretty safe as far as any gas camping appliance is.

The one downside is that if you use it on a slope and try to fry an egg on the flat bit of the hot-plate , the egg slides off. Duhh.......happened to me!

This incident should be reported to the HSE. The fact that it blew up so easily means there is a serious problem and there could be a design fault or a mistake in the manufacture. This could have caused a very serious accident and needs to be investigated

We were thinking of buying the 2 burner Coleman petrol stove.  This has a resevoir at the front for the petrol, not that far from the burners .. is there a danger with these also ?

Worried now as I used one of the gas cannister types shown above, although noy of my pans are that wide.

I use the coleman and have had no worries what so ever.  Even after having it lit for 1 hour + the petrol tank has remained totally cool to the touch.  Great piece of kit.
