Kerosine is the most dangerous when they are adultrated they explode easily

Gas is very save when they are not kept in the kitchen, even when kept in the kitchen and properly monitored, they are save

My brother is not a nairalander. I wish he would be reading this. Meanwhile, I never like gas for one day before. Two things I mostly have phobia in life for are gas cylinder and accident scene.

yes you only need less than 1 inch hole to do this, if you live in a fenced compound then you are lucky, do this as a matter of urgency

What of someone that stays upstairs. How can we go about it and the kitchen is indoor too

try to live in a secure house security means everything no man born of a woman can enter my house at night

The house ia very secured and well fenced..but these hungry thieves are taking unnecessary risk. The scale the fence just to steal car battery and gas cylinders.

The other day, my friend brand new Toyota Corolla 2014 model was vandalised. The house is well fenced with two security guards . The guards said they did not know when the thief enter the compound .The guy spent over 300k to replace the the head lights, brain box among other things stolen...God that saved my friend was that his Toyota camry tiny light is still available. ...he actually travelled with that one the day ..so it was the camry he was using till he fixed the Cororlla back....

One thing is sure... jungle justice is loading for those thieves.....seriously ..one day na one day.

This is a very important warning.

But I am confused because I dunno where else to keep my cylinder because the only space outside is where my generators are.

In UK, gas cylinder is put outside of the house in a small underground pit; from there, a pipe is connected to the gas cooker in the kitchen.

This should be the safest method/practice but it is neither feasible nor obtainable in Nigeria. We are not just serious about anything.

Re: Stop Putting Gas Cylinders Inside Kitchens, Burns Expert Warns by homesteady(m): 8:26pm On Jan 21, 2018
You should just be careful while using it. You must always have it in mind that it is very volatile, by that way you can perceive it easily when it is leaking.

I'm as scared of gas as you. Maybe I'll stop cooking or get a new stove. But there are cases of kerosene explosion as well. What will one do now?

Re: Stop Putting Gas Cylinders Inside Kitchens, Burns Expert Warns by Nobody: 8:41pm On Jan 21, 2018
av been keeping cylinders in my kitchen for 20+years , safety rule use good quality hose
hose should not be more than 5feet in length
always turn off the valves when done.
finally don't use odorless butane.

For kerosene explosion, to avoid, once you buy kerosene, pour small on the floor/ground and try lighting with matches. If it's kerosene it will not light or make pop sound but if it's adulterated it will makebpop sound

Sure just a chisel and hammer will do the job. I am planning to build a smaller place for it outside to prevent direct sun shine and tunder storm. . That thing is better stored underground

What happens when lightning comes in contact with the cylinder? What happens when the sun is too sorching? Leaving the cylinder outside for a prolong amount of time is also dangerous. The best thing to do would be to have a big ass ventilation in your kitchen incase of a leak, the gas can escape easily through the vent rather than being trapped inside leading to an explosion.
You made too much sense.

Apart from leak and carelessness, gas explosion normal occur as a result of pressure and inferior gas cylinder. I always advice peeps... Which ever cylinder you are using, fill it with less than 1.5kg in other to have buffer space for expansion or if the cyclinder is weak. Filling a gas cylinder almost to the brim is dangerous.

Just come here and be saying what u don't know smh...only a spark and phone call can ignite gas explosion and for u to fill a cylinder to the brim it depends on the regulator u use for example if u use the high pressure regulator you're safe 100%.

Guys we are all taking the information wrongly. She said 90% of gas explosion incidents are due to camping gas explosion. We need to know that camping gas are those small cylinders with burners on top, no matter their shape. They are highly unstable and prone to unnecessary leaks.
If you must use gas and put it in your kitchen, make sure it is one that is sturdy and has separate switch.
Gas is still far safer than kerosene in the long run if you consider carbon monoxide poisoning.
