Is it ever possible for the can of propane to combust and/or while using one of these? Need to settle my paranoia

yes if you dont have it screwed on tight gas will leak from around the threads could ignite. but you'll most likely smell and hear the gas before this happens.

I have never heard of this happening. If you're worried about a leak, just brush some soapy water around the place where the torch head screws into the tank. If there aren't any bubbles, there's no leak. If there are bubbles, unscrew the head and try again. If you're still getting leaks, I would say it's more likely that the threads on the torch heads are stripped or improperly machined, and I'd return the torch. Once the torch head is unscrewed, don't worry about leaks. The cylinder seals itself. And it's not paranoid to be careful!

No! a fire hazard. Especially when they run out of fuel. A large yellow flame comes out when they run out of propane. Do Not use unattended.

I assume you are using a Primus propane bottle? Not sure what you meant by fuel can. If so, it should not spray out at all and would suggest sending it back for a new one. I have two and both have been excellent stoves with now problems (and no spraying).

Yes, I see no problem with using the Propane Fuel.I use an Electric Stove and it works GREAT...no problems.

I am in about the same boat. I just used a regular propane bottle. It hooked right up and I had no trouble with it at all. I was a little leary of it at first because It was the first time I had ever tried to do such a thing , but even regulating the flame was not that hard, and soon became confident turning on the gas and lighting the flame. I'd say go for it. I'm a 70 year old woman and if I can do it anyone ought to be better than me.

The burner that I ordered works very well with high pressure propane (like in a gas bottle). "Plug-in gas" tubes in a house use lower pressure, so the orifice size will be wrong, and the regulator will also be wrong. My advice: don't do it.

I can not speak for Camp Chef, but as someone who knows about gas/propane yes you could. The burners will not burn at the same temp as the manufacture intended (meaning the BTU rating) There is a fifferent size orfice between gas and propane. Propane burns hotter there for the orfice is smaller then a NG or natural gas. The BTU would be lower for the burner then what it would be for propane. High would be Med, Med would be Low, and etc.

I have without any problems, although I secure it to make sure it stays upright. If it were to roll over and depress the lever, it would pour out fuel.

I have not used the burners on the top yet. But I'm sure it will simmer for you. If you have ever cooked with gas or propane you know you just need to keep the flame very low and keep an extra eye on it until you get use to it. Enjoy

Wow! Way over my head with that one! Never owned a propane- fueled vehicle, so put me down as a "Don't Know". Good luck.

propane is supposed to be used only for outdoors, do not use it indoors in your kitchen. If you accidentally leave the burner turned on without a flame and something ignites the gas that has built up in an enclosed space it can cause an explosion or worse.

I bought this unit specifically to carry on my MC! There is absolutely zero chances for butane leakage plus there is no spark source in the Tool Roll anyway. I also carry a refill tank of butane as well as propane mini-tank for the camp cooker. In more than 20 years of summer MC touring I have never had a problem with this soldering torch or those that preceded it...

I've done it many times with no problem. I would imagine a gas burner would cause more damage than am electric burner.

Not that I know of. Make sure you are not connecting to natural gas. The flame should be small.

Yes: shouldn't be a problem. I have been brewing on a propane burner for two years.

Can't offer any info on the propane question, we have both of ours hooked up to natural gas. They are great, did not disappoint us and never needed any venting.

Suprised it was damaged!! Mine was packed like a very well! As for the temp? I had that problem yesterday. Smoked a pork roast. Fired up just fine and was running too hot 250! Had both burners on low and both dampers open all the way. So, I turned the valve back on the propane tank. Next think I know the temp is at 150 and when I turn it up the temp will not increase. I shut everything down. Opened the valve on the propane tank all the way and restarted it. Worked fine after that. The propane regulators are very cheap now days and seem to have some issues. I have only used it 3 times and here are some suggestions. Keep what you are smoking if it is a small amount at the same level as the temp gauge. Only use 1 burner at a time. Why? When the 1st one burns out of wood chips you start the other. Then you can change out the chips and it is not hot. Wrap the pans in tin foil! They stay nice and it is an easy clean up when you are done. I am also looking into getting a very thin fire proof seal for the door. It is metal against metal and leaks some smoke. May not be worth the cost but a thought. Also..Make sure you burn it off!! Do it slow and work the vents and the doors as it heats up! They will stick! Hope this helps! Going to do a big turkey this weekend?! Yikes!!!
