Please forgive m7 insubordinate comment earlier.
As fas as Propane is concerned: I agree, a big propane tank below is an
issue and should be avoided at all costs.
But those little 400 gram bernzomatic tanks you hook into a camp-style
one-burner are not, in my opinion,
terribly dangerous when handled properly. Building a more stable base
housing is also very easy: with just
a jig-saw and a round template and some plywood, you can make the thing
almost impossible to tip over.
A helluva lot more reliable and convenient and at no real sacrifice to
safety...plus they can be stowed easily and
the space-savings are nice.
I think the very first thing I told to take a hike was: my Princess.
