Safety Issues
The Boy Scouts of America now prohibits "equipment that is handcrafted, homemade, modified, or installed beyond the manufacturer’s stated design limitations or use, due to legal concerns. Examples include alcohol-burning 'can' stoves, smudge pots, improperly installed heaters, and propane burners with their regulators removed." The invisible flame along with the risk of the stove falling over and spilling can cause burns.

Famous quotes containing the words safety and/or issues:
“There is always safety in valor.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Your toddler will be “good” if he feels like doing what you happen to want him to do and does not happen to feel like doing anything you would dislike. With a little cleverness you can organize life as a whole, and issues in particular, so that you both want the same thing most of the time.”
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
