Thanks for the link to the review Tom. That's real handy.

Seems like Gasmate have been the first to apply common sense to the problem and got them back on the market. A little more exxy this time but I'll be getting one poste haste.

Bill, while it may be hard to know exactly why some failed, one idea was the radiated heat from a overhanging edge of a pan ( or hotplate) was forcing heat down ( instead of up ) onto the gas canister and valve area, which was twofold.....either the canister overheated and exploded or the valve area overheated and failed, letting gas escape and catching fire ( or exploding ).

The new updated models haven't fixed the idea of this radiated heat, but supposedly have fixed the safety valve to shut off properly if overheating occurs.

I still use an old stove, but mine wasn't on the list of undesirables !!....but I ( like you should do as well ) feel the gas canister while cooking to make sure it doesn't get warm or hot.

And I also don't use anything that protrudes past the edge of the burner square !!

I don't know whether you are talking about a single or double burner stove, but the burner square measures 210 x 210 mm and if you are using that size plate on top of a single burner stove, then keep using it at your risk, but at least keep your kids away while cooking !!

looks like billm is one of these people that contribute to a product getting a bum rap , the manufactuerer has now put quite specific
instructions on how to use ,an he knows btter as you said
