Do you still have yer eyebrows?MarkBC said:This thread popped up in my research on this model of stove.
I have now ordered one of these for my "other" camper to replace a Suburban model that has an explosive temperament. Ask me how I know about that "explosive" thing...

In my trailer last spring: A leak from a fitting on a burner caused build-up of propane in the cabinet below. The burner flame connected to the blob of propane in the cabinet, blowing the cabinet door off its hinges, burning my arm, singeing my beard and eyebrows and leg hair.ski3pin said:How do you know about that "explosive" thing?
Wow, we're sure glad you survived without any other damage!MarkBC said:In my trailer last spring: A leak from a fitting on a burner caused build-up of propane in the cabinet below.

The Suburban had been the standard stove in my brand of trailer...but a number of folks had similar experiences to mine. The Dometic is now the standard stove.
Thanks, Monte. I gotta say I was kinda shocked when it happened. Not shocked just from the 'trauma' itself... but because something that I would usually discount as a low-probability event that only silly people worry about actually happened -- TO ME! This meant that maybe I DON'T live a charmed life!ski3pin said:Wow, we're sure glad you survived without any other damage!
EEEEEK! That’s not good, apologies for my eyebrows wisecrack! I don’t blame you for switching to a Dometic!MarkBC said:In my trailer last spring: A leak from a fitting on a burner caused build-up of propane in the cabinet below.

That's ok, Steve. I thought maybe I had told you the story already, so you knew about my singed eyebrows.Wandering Sagebrush said:EEEEEK! That’s not good, apologies for my eyebrows wisecrack! I don’t blame you for switching to a Dometic!
Did anybody else install the 50210 model? I'm looking at purchasing but the higher elevation issue has me hesitating.Taku said:Hmm, I have the 50210 model, but won't have it installed for another month or so. will be easy to test since I live at 6200' and can get to 9000' with a short drive. MarkBC: that is scary. and why I will have the propane alarm in the same space as the stove. Yikes.
