DesertRider said:The risks of pressurized-fuel stoves might be a good reason to consider a gasoline-powered stove. You'll never be out of stove fuel because you can use fuel right out of the bike's tank, and no worries about riding around with a bottle of fuel under pressure. Heck, you could even empty the stove fuel back into the bike tank and carry it around empty, if you like.
KBasa said:Yeah, but it makes the bottom of your pots all black and nasty, which makes a mess in the saddlebag. I use a small bottle of white gas for our stove and have a small pressurized canister for our lantern.
jentine said:If I remember the math, a gallon of gasoline is equal to 29 sticks of dynamite. That figure times six gallons of gas equals one hell of an explosion. I wouldn't worry about a mere 1/2 quart of butane in a metal container....but lets be serious about simple stove.
lorazepam said:Having been around propane most of my life ( my dad worked in the industry, and my brother does now) I don't worry about the butane canisters. I like the convience, and believe it or not, the safety, and the clean burning they provide. Most of the warnings that are printed on the canisters are CYA, the legal system being what it is. I dont have the patience to list all the warnings that are in my new manual. It almost scares me too much to consider riding or working on my new bike . Relax folks, we have too much free time if we are worrying about butane fuel canisters.

rapz said:I contacted REI and asked them about carrying the butane cannisters in our saddle bags and they said that none of the vibrations/shaking will cause the cannister to explode as long as we keep the temps below 120 degrees. So they are safe to carry on trips.
