Is butane explosive? Can I remove and re-place the canister between cooking to lessen risk of fire or leakage from the canister?

Yes it is explosive. The butane in the canisters it is a flammable gas that has been put under pressure to the point it becomes a liquid. We've used the stove about 8x over the last 6 months or so which may not sound like much, but that was mostly because it was nearly winter when we bought it. We like it very much (nice quality material, design, and construction). You can VERY easily remove the canister if you do not feel safe storing it within the stove when not in use. When looking for fuel canisters I also look for brands that have two built-in safety features: 1) A Temperature Sensing Valve (TSV) that shuts off gas flow from the canister if the temperature becomes too high. 2) A Rim Vent Release (RVR) system that will safely vent gas in a controlled manner should the pressure in the canister become too high. Most cans from reliable manufacturers offer at least some sort of a pressure venting system, I just like the added temperature shut-off mechanism as well that companies like Sterno offer. Getting this additional feature doesn't mean you will be necessarily paying "premium" prices ether. Sterno for example usually runs $2.99 for a single can, or more like $2.25 - $2.50 ea. if you order by the dozen/case. I pay a little extra for the extra piece of mind. Since we'll only be using it 1-2x per week now that nicer weather is here, that still only means an operating cost of $3-$6 (1 or two cans) a month with the SLIGHTLY pricier/safer cans.

any brand of butane 8oz cannister can be used?

Yes,i use sams club butane,i use some butane from an Asian market,this is the best butane burner in the world in my opinion,i bought several at Asian store for 19.95 thinking they work and they do but cheaply made,got a brand name one for same price,pretty red but cheaply made,this TECHEF is quality and ive used mine for 18 months 2 times a day and still works like day 1.I bought a second one just because of the quality.I also own most of there pans,non stick and no bad chemicals,made a philly cheese steak tonight in pan.
