[Cassette Gas Type] Heat and "boil water"! Indoor and outdoor usable stove that can hold a kettle

As autumn deepens, campgrounds can suddenly become quite cold after sunset. While campfires are enjoyable, if you want a more convenient way to keep warm, you'll want to check out Iwatani's "Cassette Gas Stove Marudan Plus". It uses readily available cassette gas as fuel. Because it doesn’t require batteries or a power cord, it can be used not only at home but also outdoors, such as while camping. Its handle makes it easy to move around inside the house or take it outdoors, which is also appealing.

What stands out about the "Marudan Plus" is the stainless steel punching metal tube added inside the combustion cylinder. It has a double structure that stores the heat generated from the combustion area and radiates heat from both the combustion area and the punching metal tube. This increases the temperature around the combustion cylinder to about 1.5 times that of conventional models. The heating area is approximately 5 tatami mats for wooden detached houses and 7 tatami mats for concrete apartment buildings.

What personally attracted me is that it can provide warmth as a stove while also boiling water on the top plate. Surrounding the stove outdoors at a campsite, you can prepare coffee or hot cocoa with the boiled water. It seems like you can enjoy a winter-like time, such as keeping cooked hot pot dishes warm while enjoying a meal. Since it doesn't use batteries or power cords, it may be a good idea to keep it prepared for situations where power cannot be secured, like during a blackout.

Since it is a heating device that uses fire, safety is a concern. The Maru Dan Plus is equipped with four safety devices. It has an incomplete combustion prevention device that stops the fire when oxygen is insufficient and a tip-over safety device that stops the gas if the fire goes out due to wind or other factors. Additionally, it features a tip-over extinguishing device that automatically extinguishes the fire when it falls over and a pressure-sensitive safety device that cuts off the gas when the pressure inside the cylinder rises.

Having multiple precautions in place is reassuring, especially when there are children nearby. Be sure not to forget proper ventilation when using it indoors.
