Stoves, Tents and Carbon Monoxide – Deadly or Not? Part 3: Laboratory Measurements for Canister Stoves

[Roger Caffin]

And in liquid feed, it’s not hard to avoid any flare-up, correct? Low vapor-feed flame until the vaporizer tube is at temp and then invert the canister.
Perzacly.

I will add that imhe silnylon fabric is very hard to ignite at all (and I have done the Standard tests). The silicone polymer just does not want to burn. Of course, if the outside of the tent is wet from pouring rain, that just makes it even safer.

But do be careful with mosquito netting. It is unlikely to flame up and burn, but it sure can melt and shrivel up! I have seen that.

Cheers
