In May 2014, Rich Ingardia reported that he'd received 2nd &amp; 3rd degree propane burns from his Oriflamme. Anyone else had any similar safety issues?

I would suspect operator error. I have had no issue with the unit. Obviously safety must be observed when using. Not manufacturers issue

The unit is well made. Is it safer than the less expensive unit? That is hard to tell. However, inspite of the warning from want anti, other brand butane canisters with UL listing worked probably just as safe.

Thanks for the info. I also like the unit. I've never seen smoke or even smelled anything close to burning. However, I don't leave my on 24/7...... only a couple of hours at a time, once or twice a day. I checked mine on their website and it is not affected by the recall.

Make sure you bought the one for ng and not propane. I sure wouldn't burn it if your alarm keeps sounding.

I liked it. It seemed to work well. Seemed to me it was so hot, my grandson could burn his hand, as well as parents had to oversee it so much, I think it was thrown away. It was just too hot and a fire danger.

Well I found a lot more items the last 2 minutes... nothing official, but I also found others things (non-flammable included) that are also banned (non-flammable break cleaner here on amazon)Also banned from sale there are:Portable Fire ExtinguishersCologne for Men and WomenAlso found it might be for chemical substances in general.... nothing solid though and I don't care so much about it to do anything more :)TTT (take to top)

This is a propane stove and a joy to use. The only problem I've had was the safety valve in the hose was tripping and would allow almost no gas to go through. It was largely due to living in a higher altitude which makes them trip more easily. Open your propane tank valve slowly to avoid this problem.

Not as far as I can tell. Lehman.com has propane refrigs. Very expensive but gives us freedom.

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

I am wondering the same thing about the flammability. Did you ever find out the answer?

I did mine as it happened. I VERY much enjoy this burner - we ran a whole camp kitchen at the Indy 500 with just one. Will buy a second before next year...

I actually ended up returning the item because the fumes were making me dizzy. Be careful with that heater. Not sure maybe special propane would work?

I grew up in South Korea where most homes have this item sort of like most Homes in the US has a BBQ grill.My family's been using this type of burners for over 3 decades (for family union events, picnics, camping outdoors, etc). As long as you disengage the safe lever when not in use, the butane canister can remind inside. Perfectly safe. I leave mine inside up to an year between uses and have never had any problem.If you feel like you must do something, you could rotate the canister about 90 degrees so the safety lever can't be pushed down accidently (very unlikely).Indoor use is also perfectly safe. Use your common sense. Treat the burner like a full size gas stove, and there won't be any problem.

Oh no, JUST denatured alcohol. Now, if we were friends and going camping together I would say yes and then laugh like hell when your stove erupted into a ball of flame but since I wouldn't get the opportunity to see that happen nor be there to put out the fire and apply any needed first aid I have to be honest. Hope this helps&#55357;&#56842;

I don't see any problem as long as you have no gas leaks. The propane heater fits right into one of the cop holders. I really like it. Paul
