Hi and welcome, we don't eat people here LOL
I can confirm the above is correct. my 907 lasted 14 days exactly with my combicool cab 40, last summer , several scorching days included in the fortnight.
you must ensure adequate ventilation , we kept ours in the porch or in the utility tent, which both have no sig .
we had no issues with the flame going out, it wasn't in a draught ,but kept checking on it all the same.
I find chilling it right down the day before on mains electric is best , especially in really hot weather so you don't have to wait for it to get cold on site.i put the canned drinks in the day before and they stay ice cold . It takes a couple of hours to get max cold .
I would highly recommend it ,was worth every penny , wouldn't camp without mine now.
Cant agree more....................

Gas cylinders should not be stored or used in a tent.If you have it in the tent and leave the cylinder valve open or there maybe a leak from the valve itself when you are asleep on the floor of the tent. LPG is heavier than air and will flow to the lowest level which means you! Add to that if there is an incident and you have cylinder in the tent and someone including firefighters are injured as a result, you can be held accountable.(former senior fire officer).
On our recent trip to France, using an Electrolux 212F 2 way fridge over 10 days, we used 3/4 of a Calorlite bottle and that included cooking. As for having the gas bottle in the tent, it stands behind the kitchen and is leak tested when connected. As for injury, what if the bottle explodes outside?? I would rather have the bottle where I can "control" it (not leave it open to little fingers ) and don't say it does not happen, I have seen it.

So is it illegal to use gas cylinders in a tent ?
I have never heard you can be held responsible for having a cylinder in a tent if there is an accident.
If this is right , why are fridges sold as camping fridges?
where else would they be used if not in a tent?
a utility tent is still a tent .
You couldnt just use it in the open air surely ? because its a 3 way fridge.
Also the gas heaters, these are designed to be used in a tent too, albeit a smaller cylinder?
