00:00Howdy! Today we're gonna take a look at a very very very handy item indeed. It is
00:06the butane camping stove. This one is by Bush Baby. I assume they come under many
00:15names. It's a small little gas stove, gas-powered stove. And yeah it's very
00:21useful for everything from doing experiments to cooking demonstrations to
00:27actually cooking in the kitchen to taking it on picnics and cooking food
00:33there of course. So let's have a look at it inside. Yeah this is actually a new one
00:39I bought for myself so I thought I would unbox it in front of the camera while I'm
00:44discussing it. Let's just see all the information here. Gas canister not
00:48included. Yes I got my gas canister right here. You buy them separately. This case
00:54is only to pack the stove. No seeing it as a part of the stove. Yes alright. What
01:01does it say here? Automatic ignition and so on and so on. Yeah that we'll see when we
01:07work the thing. Let's take off this cardboard thingy. Portable gas stove it
01:15says there. So let's put the case down and yeah then you can open it. Very handy little
01:25carry case. Seems we actually have it upside down now. Anyway yeah I know some
01:33people will just keep it in the suitcase and then open the case and then use the
01:39stove in there. I don't think that's very wise because this is just plastic that can
01:44melt and probably catch fire. But yeah also hasn't happened yet with the people
01:52that do that. So anyway there's your little stove. This model anyway. I know you
01:59also get smaller models. There's a stove. You just turn here and it'll ignite by
02:07itself. Yeah. Oh there's a little booklet. Instructions for operating. But alright I
02:15think I know how to operate it. What you do is first take your gas canister. Remove the
02:24red top. This part of course as you can see opens up and you lift that little thingy.
02:31You see this gas canister. Let me just show you. This ring has a little gap in there. That
02:37gap must go right in here with this thingy. Otherwise it won't work. Oh it seems
02:44there's like a pipe or a hole there. So we put the little nozzle in there. Like so.
02:56There we go. This must fit into the gap. See then it's sort of secure. And we close this.
03:11And now we just need to lock it in place for it to start. What this will do is push forward
03:16the gas canister so that the gas can start coming out. What's wrong? Something seems
03:28to be wrong here. Oh I think I see what was wrong here. This thing needed to be off
03:35first. Let's test that again. If it's on. If it's on. Then this thing is locked. Yeah. It needs to be
03:49off. Gas needs to be off. Then it can lock into place. Okay that's nice. And very much
03:55safer I would say. So now you know. If you have trouble locking or unlocking the gas
04:01canister. It's probably this. What do you call it? A dial or switch. That's not turned
04:08off. It has to be in the off position. The gas has to be turned off. And yeah. Then it
04:14moves really easy. You see. Of course now to start operating it. You just turn this. Turn
04:21it all the way. And it will turn on. And then you can turn it down a bit if you so like. To
04:28get it off you just turn this again. Flames off. Flames on. Adjust the flame. And flames
04:37off. Flames go on. Flames go off. Flames go on. And flames adjust. Bigger or smaller. And
04:48that's basically how easy it is to operate. Now all you do is place your water on it. Or your
04:55pan. If you want to fry eggs or whatever. And yeah. Turn it on. And now your water should
05:03start boiling after a few moments. Works almost immediately of course. Because it's
05:08got an open flame. It's not like an electric stove that first takes about 3 or 4 minutes
05:16to heat up. This one is pretty easy. Yeah. Gas canisters. Well the prices vary a lot. So far
05:25what I've seen is these bush baby types. The bush baby brands. No more explosion. Thank
05:34goodness for that. They are the least expensive ones. You do get ones that are literally double
05:41or even more of the cost of this one. Of course you want the cheapest one. Because otherwise
05:48it's just not going to be economical to work with this stove. Of course once you're done
05:53you can carry it in this little carry case. Or you can leave it open if this is going to
05:58be your regular stove at home. What happened? Did I put it the wrong way round again? No I don't
06:09think so. Oh I remember this thing was upside down. Yeah these little what do you call them
06:16supports. They stand out a bit. So if you want to put it back you got to keep it upside down.
06:23Oh well it seems now won't fit in as long as there is a gas canister in there. Is that
06:39right? Let's just test that out quickly. Unlock. Take out. Close. Oh yeah you can see there.
06:50There was a little metal thingy that stopped this from fitting in there. But now that it's
06:57unlocked this thing fits in perfectly into the frame. And then of course it will fit into
07:04the suitcase. Close that out. And you can carry your stove. Yeah. Apparently they don't want
07:13you to be carrying a gas canister inside a suitcase. I don't know if it will explode
07:18or whatever is the reasoning behind it. But yeah. There is your gas stove. Very convenient
07:25I must say. And they certainly do come in handy because they are so portable. All right then.
