[0003] In general, a portable gas stove using flammable liquefied butane gas charged in a disposable gas can as fuel is one of a variety of types of cookware which is usefully used in the open air in addition to the interiors, such as homes or restaurants, because it has a relatively small volume and light weight and can be easily carried. Liquefied butane gas is usefully used that much, but careful attention must be paid in order to use liquefied butane gas vulnerable to heat and pressure it is easily expanded by heat and has a danger of a possible explosion. The most dangerous accident when the portable gas stove is used is an explosion accident attributable to the overheating of a disposable gas can in which flammable liquefied butane gas is filled in the nature of liquefied butane gas as described above. Accordingly, special attention must be paid because the explosion force of liquefied butane gas expanded by heat corresponds to an explosion which may kill or injure people around 10 m or more. One of the causes of the generation of most accidents attributable to the explosion of the disposable gas can may include the use of an excessive hot grill. If a hot grill or a frying pan is placed higher than the top of a gas can reception unit in which the disposable gas can is received, the upper side of the disposable gas can is overheated by heat from the excessive hot grill or the heat is transferred to the disposable gas can through a boundary surface on the burner unit side of a housing and the gas can reception unit. Accordingly, there is a problem in that an accident in which the gas can explodes because pressure within the gas can is increased due to the overheating of the gas can.

[0010] The merits and characteristics of the present invention and a method for achieving the merits and characteristics will become more apparent from embodiments described in detail later in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0011] However, the present invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but may be implemented in various different ways. The embodiments are provided to only complete the disclosure of the present invention and to allow those skilled in the art to understand the category of the present invention. The present invention is defined by the category of the claims. The same reference numbers will be used to refer to the same or similar parts throughout the drawings.

[0012] Hereinafter, a portable gas stove equipped with a dual-layered cover 110 according to embodiments of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0013] FIG. 1 shows an example in which an excessive hot grill is used in an existing portable gas stove. When the excessive hot grill is used in the existing portable gas stove, the upper side of a gas can is overheated by heat from the excessive hot grill. Alternatively, the heat is transferred to the gas can through the burner unit 200 and a boundary surface between the burner unit 200 and a gas can reception unit 100, thereby overheating the gas can. Accordingly, pressure within the gas can may be increased, thus generating an accident in which the gas can explodes.
