Gelert Portable Gas Cooker

The cooker arrived at your usual commendable speed.
The gas holder lid did not fit safely on the cylinder.
The whole device did not sit steadily on a flat surface.
It was a disappointing article....not up to your usual standard.
Sorry

bought one of these NOT A GELERT but a Garden Kraft, which looks identical, no doubt they all made in the same factory in the far east somewhere. I used it on 5 separate occasions, the first 4 without any issue. On the last occasion after about 5 mins use, flames started to lick out of the side where the gas canister is, within 5 seconds we had turned the stove off and raised the lever to release the gas cylinder, yet the flames continued! Within another 5 seconds the cylinder blew up sending out a fireball and literally blowing the stove apart, sending pieces of metal in all directions. Fortunately no one was hurt, as this happened outside and we had all got back far enough away from it, but the power of the explosion was frightening. The gas cylinder was about half empty (so had been used before and without a problem), and was correctly fitted. The stove was boiling a kettle at the time which fitted well within the limits of the stove trivet. I believe the leak occurred at the valve seat which is just a push fit, held in-place by sprung lever, why it didn't release I don't know, but I don't believe I did anything that anyone of you would have done any differently. A quick search of the web reveals that there has been many such incidents, sometimes with serious consequences [...].
And decide if you want to take your chances!! Please also note that my stove carried no manufacturers serial no or identification marks other than the logo on the front, its my opinion that the design is dangerous due to the lack of a screw fitting for the canister bringing a high risk of gas leaks, and that the cylinder is too close to the heat source meaning that a large pan could raise the temperature of the cylinder high enough to explode the gas canister, as seen in the video using the tin foil.

Bought this stove for a wild-camping weekend in Cornwall & was very disappointed with the product. The overall quality is very poor rendering it totally unusable, and it has now been returned to Amazon for a refund.
My first experience was having the plastic top to the cartridge lock lever break off when engaging the cartridge. The metal lever came straight through the plastic on the first attempt at locking the cartridge. When we tried to light it the flame ignited fine, however this joy was soon tempered by the fact that it was impossible to get the gas flow knob out of the ignition position without the flame extinguishing. We tried for 30mins to get the thing to stay alight with no joy. We also used Gelert gas canisters that were designed specifically for the stove & I tried 3 out of the 4 we had with us so it is unlikely to be a problem with all 3 of the canisters!
As an aside, the quality of the case it comes with is also very poor. The catches to keep it closed had come off whilst it was in transit from Amazon. When I put it all back together again for the trip to Cornwall I arrived at the other end to find they had come off again.
We are just glad we had brought an old burner as backup - we would've been tea & food-less for 48 hours otherwise. Not cool Gelert! VERY not cool!
