    The burner makes it look like a rather better known American stove, but the resemblance is only in the burner head.The pot supports actually look more functional
    I would like to know what yours was like, if you bought one.
    I am unaware of the brand/s the stove may be marketed as.

    They are being sold at around the same price as the 'real thing'.
    The factory has not referred to kerosene or diesel fuel, just 'oil' and 'gas'.
    Despite what some sources might suggest I reckon this stove would never be able to use kerosene.
    Even their famous cousin has 'issues' with that fuel.

    It appears that the BL100-T2 is the same stove as the Bulin X2, but the pumps are different.
    Maybe not, but unless I had both in front of me I cannot be sure.
    It would be interesting to know what the stove is like in use. Is it quiet in use?

    While it takes more than a wick in the priming cup to make a stove work with kerosene, the presence of a wick suggests that might be intended by the maker/seller.

    I think a Whisperlite and a Nova got drunk one night, and nine months later, out came ... a WhisperNova!

    It doesn't mean ALL the stoves mentioned are dangerous, or even that every example of the BRS-8 for example was unfit for purpose.
    One incident! Sounds more like a case of sloppy assembly not a generally unsafe product.

    I am interested to know if that specific Bulin stove is as quiet as it's American relative, or not excessively loud compared to a 111T silent burner.
