 Over the last few years, there have been a number of serious incidents involving the use of gas cookers and lanterns which employ pierceable cartridges.
Equipment of this type often referred to as ‘Bluet' were amongst the earliest examples of personal, lightweight cookers and lanterns. As such, much of this equipment held by Groups may be over thirty years old.
Over the last ten years or so, the old pierceable cartridge has been superseded by lightweight aluminium cartritges which incorporate a screw or clip valve fitting. These can be fitted and removed repeatedly, with a minimal risk of the escape of gas.
