I've been using an alcohol stove for a long time and just picked up a Soto OD-1R Micro Regulator Stove used off here for when I do shorter trips and want to do a little fancier cooking. I haven't used a canister stove in a long time so I don't know if this is normal but after I use it and I unscrew it from the canister at one point there is a little pop and some of the fuel sprays everywhere…is it supposed to do that or is something wrong with it? Thanks!
That's normal.
Thanks, just wasn't sure
yeah, I have a Soto Windmaster that's the same I think insignificant amount of fuel lost when unscrewed. Weird popping noise. when I screw it on it also loses a bit of fuel. I think there's one spot that the valve is released but the o-ring not sealed, but I always quickly screw it past that point so insignificant amount of fuel lost.
And take the stove off pointing up. Do it sideways or down, and sometimes you might lose a lot of fuel.
Mine does that, too. I just unscrew quickly past that point.
It happens. Thing is, if you keep the stove and canister upright, all you lose is a tiny bit of gas. Yeah – do it quickly! Cheers
