I took the little one-burner propane backpacking stove I used to use when my back was young enough to backpack and put it in the vented laz where my gas tanks are located. No more fighting with alchohol stoves, and no safety issues since I usually use in it the cockpit. One of these days, I'll get around to yanking the stove and using the sapce.

Sandwiches and cold drinks are all I have when sailing so I don't need the added danger of propane on a boat. Propane turns a pleasure craft into a floating bomb and too many cruisers who chose convenience over safety have learned the hard way.

AM I breaking the one-design rule ? If so. I apologize, but I ain't going back.

Breakfast and coffee was cooked on the original Princess alcohol stove which was converted to use a small disposable propane cannister. This would be perfect for my, maybe once a year, stove usage. BTW, the converted Princess worked really well and I had a great cup of coffee and a very tasty omelet. I talked to my local Westmarine manager today, he remembers that there was a time when you could get a conversion kit. But does not remember much else about it. I have looked on the WWW, but I find that all of the links to a possible conversion discussion are broken. Does anyone remember anything. John Change your thinking, change your life.
