Safe to transport gas stove on bumpy ride?
Our Coleman Sportster II Dual Fuel got a stuck one-way check valve which rendered it pretty much useless. We ordered a replacement from the UK which took 3 weeks to get here, only to realise that all mechanics and metal shops of the village we´re at are unable to remove the old valve from the stove. So it´s very close to a brick and we are looking into buying a simple gas stove, which is the only type of camping stove we can find here.
It´s a simple head that sits on top of the gas canister, typical CampingGaz stuff.
Problem is, we´re on bicycles and about to embark on a bone-jittering two-week ride to Salar de Uyuni, with conditions that have been described from horrible to hell.
Is it safe to transport such a stove after the gas canister has been pierced and used at least once? What if we take a spill on the stove while riding... spillage, potential for explosion?
Thanks for any info.
