I have just checked our 600g dry powder Fire extinguisher in the Eriba and find it is years out of date. Upon checking the one in the car and also the one in our kitchen, they too are out of date.
However, I can't find a replacement anywhere for less than a tenner ( that's a total of £30 ). Has anyone found them at a better price?

I notice that Lidl often sell the 1kg one for about £8. Do others carry a bigger extinguisher and if so, where is it mounted? Our small one is mounted on the side of the high level cupboard immediately to the side of the entrance door.

Presumably, there's a safe and correct way of disposing of them too?

What's interesting is the warning on the Wilco page that John has linked to:-
"Ideal to keep in the boot, this small fires extinguisher is for liquid and electrical equipment fires. Small fires extinguisher, for liquid and electrical equipment fires. WARNINGS Not suitable for use on deep fat fires. Keep out of reach of children. Not to be refilled. Always read label."
So is there a better product for caravans?

Fire blanket? Interesting. We've got one in the kitchen as well as a dry powder extinguisher.
Thanks,

The fire blanket reviews on Amazon are quite funny. Unsurprisingly - and thankfully - almost all of the people who bought one have never used it, so lots of them give it five stars because it looks nice.

I'm absolutely amazed at the difference in prices of fire blankets. There's even one seller on Amazon offering 1qty for £3.96 plus free delivery or 2qty for £12.02 plus £3.98 delivery. How does that work ?

We finally ordered one, 1 metre square and when it arrived it was 1.2 metres square. When we compared the quality to a quite expensive one we've had in the kitchen for several years, the only obvious difference is that the kitchen one comes in a fancy hard plastic box.

Upon researching replacements for our 600g dry powder fire extinguishers, the cheapest we could find were in Wilkinsons £9.99.
