Just make sure you don't buy your stove from Hobbyking or else you'll cause a whole host of arguments:woot:

Oh, and the German dipstick who lobbed an "empty" canister into a fire pit.

Ok, more prone perhaps than others. As a scout leader I also do lots of camping and have seen 2 go up. One at car fest and one on a scout camp site. Didn't see either happen first hand so can't say whether misuse or idiocy was involved, but saw aftermath

Bit of common sense says get yourself a fire blanket and extinguisher.

Don't forget though that if using an extinguisher you will need to add a bit of weight at the front as it has a habit of flipping in the air
