Read the reviews before throwing anything out. I had a look in Bunnings and they don't look any different, other than the price, now $30. Bunnings bloke didn't know what the difference was and there is no explanation in the pack.Originally posted by OldGreyFart View Post
The expedition Aus bloke had a look and found the trivet is fixed, making the box bigger, and it now has a 20cm paper template in there.
I got in touch with gasmate as in amongst all the recall stuff it's impossible to find out anything about it. They said the key differences were.
1. Trivet fixed in place. Assume this is to stop you using it without or upside down.
2. Regulator has a lower safety release pressure. If the heat and pressure on the butane canisters rises above a safe level the gas is cut off.
3. The housing under the cartridge chamber is now fully enclosed. This ensures that no foreign objects can come ini contact with the reg or canister while in use.
4. Burner rim is slightly thicker an wider. Less likely the flame will go out with a spill over
Also check out the Gasmate Facebook page, some people are having issues with the new ones (might be user error).
Also the $10 price increase is a bit steep. gasmate would probably say it's the additional certification and redesign and safety features. I reckon it's a bit of that and the fact that it's the only one the has a valid cert at the moment.
I've never had a problem with mine so I'm going to keep using my old ones with the CRV canisters (see link below) until there are a few more available and the price comes down.
