    Yes and no. There is a copper ring inside the fuel cap that will melt before it gets that hot (in theory), releasing the pressure. You would have to light it and leave it for a bit before it built up enough pressure to explode, but, as with any stove, miss-use does happen. I have found it very safe, but i ALWAYS keep an eye on my stoves when lit. You do need to adjust the star wheel periodically to raise or lower the flame. An alcohol stove this is not, but like i said in my post above, if you know you want this, you are a collector

    Borde Bomb Stove Info.

    More info, from Zen Stoves (note: some info is out-dated, like the fact that they are not being made and current prices):

    "The Borde Benzin Brenner was created in 1956 by the Swiss inventor Joseph Borde and was later transferred over to Norbert Baader who is still making them by hand. Only a couple hundred are made a year and can only be easily found in some European specialty shops, Japan and on Ebay (from anywhere between 15 to 180 USD). It incorporates a small fuel tank to the side of the burner and a coiled generator tube that doubles back to the burner. The stove is preheated by warming with your hands for a minute or so, flipping it over to allow fuel to leak onto the burner star and lighting it to heat up the generator tubes. Once the stove gets up to operational temperature, the heated generator tube boils the fuel in it and transfers heat back to the fuel tank, which in turn heats the fuel in the tank, build up pressure and forces fuel to the generator tubes. The flame is then adjusted by twisting the burner star with a metal hook to open and close the fuel outlet. Since pressure continues to build up as the stove gets hotter and hotter, occasional adjustment of the burner is required. "

    And here's a video:
