Are these type stoves meant to be kept attached to the fuel canister at all times. or disconnected after using?

Personally, I would disconnect for easier storage. that way the gas canister can be stored safely somewhere else.

While you can keep it attached to the isobutane cartridge at all times keep in mind that the cartridge's connector isn't very strong against lateral force. So while you can stack a pot on there that's pretty heavy, any kind of left or right pressure is going to weaken the connector. It's best to disconnect it from the cartridge if you're going to not be using it for extended periods, or if you're putting it into storage. If you're going to be keeping it in one location for several days (like as a basecamp item) then you can leave it hooked up.

as with any portable "camping/survival" type stove you should remove it from the tank when it is not going to be used for a while just for safety sake. But it you wish to live on the edge you can leave it attached but them you risk the valve being opened while in a pack and a possible unexpected surprise fire or explosion.

They are meant to be disconnected after using. It comes with a small pouch for storing the 2 pieces, and when taken apart it occupies almost room. I really like this stove.

You can disconnect them after using if the fuel canister you connect to it has a "self sealing" grommet.

Carb float sticks, so fuel leaks bad... I converted to tri-fuel, no issues on propane. Before I had to take apart the carb each time and fix the float.

As some of the other comments here suggest it may not be the safest thing to do. However the maker of the kit sells replacement natural gas burners http://www.bayouclassicdepot.com/natural-gas-jet-burners.htm. If you feel like you need your burner connected to natural gas I would suggest contacting Bayou Classic to inquire about your options.

This unit gets attached into the stove pipe just as you would any other length of stove pipe.The piece of pipe in the middle oft he unit connects into the smoke pipe on top of the stove. The closer the unit mounts to the stove, the more heat you get out of it.I connected the MH6 to the top of my wood stove and started the pipe from the top going out the wall.

Yes, the can threads into the burner and is removable. A good portable system.

I gave two sets of stove and cannisters as gifts for tailgating parties. I think the cans can be stored until you see evidence of erosion around the seams, probably years if stored in a dry and cool place. Just an opinion.

I have a glass top stove and I use it on there all the time, I'm just extra careful when I set it down and pick it up. Although maybe I should drop it on there so I can get a new stove :)

No the stove only works on. The canisters it's recommend for! Unless there is a adapter that I don't know about but I don't think there is one!

We just bought the stove this summer and we did not have an issue with ours. Sorry to hear it did not work for you. It may be a manufacture defect.

I am sure they mean the connection to the boat motor fuel fitting connection shuts off when disconnected. You will find it if your search for fuel fittings for your motor.

I have had the same problem and I found out it happens the most when the fuel canister if full. Make sure to hole the canister so the threads are up as if the canister is setting on the ground when you thread it on. thread on slowly until you feel it getting tight then quickly turn it on to avoid excess spay. You will notice the difference that very little if any comes out.

Sorry, but no info here about your gas stove. Most have pilot lights so you don't get hurt lighting them by hand.

Nope! This stove is the best I have had to date. And I have been through a bunch!

I seasoned mine on a burner of my gas stove. A BBQ grill might work, too, you're right that the handles don't come off.

on the side there is a lever that engages the fuel, when done i push the lever to disengage. i dont remove because it is just laying in the bin and will cause no harm. the care taken should be, not to use too large a pan, which may trap heat if doing a long cook. this may force heat down to the cannister and cause it to explode. i stir fry or scramble eggs a lot, so not a concern. this may be rare, but read some safety concerns by googleing dangers of butane stoves. i will say, have used them for 20+ years and no issue. oh! i paid a little over a dollar each for fuel at lee lees in chandler,az.........asian market. on the side there is a lever that engages the fuel, when done i push the lever to disengage. i dont remove because it is just laying in the bin and will cause no harm. the care taken should be, not to use too large a pan, which may trap heat if doing a long cook. this may force heat down to the cannister and cause it to explode. i stir fry or scramble eggs a lot, so not a concern. this may be rare, but read some safety concerns by googleing dangers of butane stoves. i will say, have used them for 20+ years and no issue. oh! i paid a little over a dollar each for fuel at lee lees in... » Read More on the side there is a lever that engages the fuel, when done i push the lever to disengage. i dont remove because it is just laying in the bin and will cause no harm. the care taken should be, not to use too large a pan, which may trap heat if doing a long cook. this may force heat down to the cannister and cause it to explode. i stir fry or scramble eggs a lot, so not a concern. this may be rare, but read some safety concerns by googleing dangers of butane stoves. i will say, have used them for 20+ years and no issue. oh! i paid a little over a dollar each for fuel at lee lees in chandler,az.........asian market. « Show Less

I bought these for use in our Brunton stoves. In those stoves the canister is laid in a channel, to begin the flow of the fuel you push down a lever and that pushes the can against the port on the stove. If you actually need a threaded end this canister won't work.

Yes, you can separate the stove before the can is empty and use the rest later.
