Pop! Gas hob noise when turned off

Post by DevonAid »

Hi all
We have a Fellows 2 burner hob and grille in our Devon.
When you turn either hob off there is a sputtering noise followed by a 'pop' sound.
It's always done it in many years of van ownership, the burner caps don't seem to readily come off (like the home cooker ones) for a quick inspection. I did replace the gas cylinder supply hose a few weeks ago.
Any experience or thoughts on remedying this, as the fair assumption is it shouldn't do this!
This is the only very minor niggle to great week touring North Devon, it's been good to be away.

Sounds like it's just burning off the remainder of the gas in the pipe. Could be wrong though :roll:

As above, sounds like every gas bottle stove I’ve used.
