Just had the whole installation check by a gas fitter who was recommended by BSS Examiner, and you where right on the button My gas regulator had totally failed the full pressure of the bottles was going to the gas cooker

here the link to my equipment http://www.canalworld.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=69665

No I always turn off gas after using the cooker and turn it back on when I am going to cook. It has flame failure devices and usually the grill is hard to light, all I can say when I pushed it the grill Knob there was a load whoosh noise but I was pressing the ignite button at the same time , that was when the flame explosion happened I think the metal tube of the grill failed and gas came out unrestricted . That why I want someone that deals with gas appliance to look before I do anything.

Had a major scare last night switch on the grill on my caprice 2020 gas cooker and it exploded in flame, went straight to gas locker which is only about 4 foot away turned of gas, know now CO2 and CO monitors work very well. Apart from no hair on both forearms trimmed eyebrows and side burns am alright Have two questions 1. Does anyone have any recommendations for someone to look at my cooker and tell me if it can be repaired and cost , in the Great Heywood area? 2. Also where is the best place to buy a replacement if necessary excluding ebay Have no idea why it happened was alright day before and as gas scares me I have no intention of dismantling the cooker to find out why

Have you checked the thermostat it could be corroded or blocked . the thermostat should start to open at 155/165F(68/74C), and it should be fully open at 185F(85C).

whoops

Or you can be cheeky and turn in the entrance to Great Heywood marina or in the marina

I am extremely pleased with it you can get a router for my booster but decided against it as you can turn windows 8 PC in to a hot spot easily which I did for my son so he could use his Xbox to access the internet. . and the whole thing is cheaper than mobile dongles.
