Roger what is your opinion about what this guy says?
A quote from another website:
yesterday, I was using a canister stove in my office to keep my morning coffee warm. I had the stove turned down as low as I could get it to prevent boiling.
I left it on for quite awhile and when I went to drink the coffee, I turned it off and started to unscrew the stove from the can and burned my finger on the stove where it screws into the canister. also, theĀ canister itself was extremely hot and fearing it would explode I opened the valve back up and immediately ran cold water over itĀ .
the stove I was using was the 25 gram BRS 3000-t stove but I reproduced this condition with another stove I own so I would say it is not stove specific. rather, it seems thatĀ <b>running a stove for a long time turned down to the very minimum it will stay lit, allows the stove to heat up and conduct heat sufficiently so that it heats up that canister as well.</b>
I tried using different stoves with the same canister to boil water and as long as I boiled it quickly, it didn’t seem to overheat. as soon asĀ I turned it down to simmer and left it on for an extended period of time, the canister heating occurred.
I don’t know how close I was to that canister exploding but it would have been catastrophic. the canister was extremely hot and the part of the stove that screwed into the canister was hot enough to blister my finger. this was a scary lesson and I hope we all can learn from it…
