Butane Adapter WARNING

[hikin_jim]

Cheap canister gas. Sounds nice, yes?

I mean in warm weather, why not just use those cheap 100% butane canisters? All you need is a little $5 adapter off eBay, right?


Well, yes, but use it wrong and that little adapter could cost you big time.


So what are the issues? Can it be used safely? I cover this in my Butane Adapter WARNING post on my blog.

Another excellent article with who'd'a-thunk-it? information from Adventures in Stoving.

Thanks.

Kind of a shame. The adapter is good overall, but it has one flaw that makes it in my opinion unsafe: There's nothing to preventing from rolling. If it rolls, it can produce a fireball. Not good.
