Thanks Tim, and that was one of my real question. Are the small disposable 1 pound (440g) canisters safe when used appropriately?
I am stuck in a lake, so emptied a canister during a meal is just not a problem! I was rather envious as the skipper used his modified princess stove and cooked two omelets at a time, one on each burner. Our Catalina fleet http://catfleet69.org/page3.html has monthly day long raft-ups, where we generally all bring pot luck items for dinner. Being able to warm or cook something there would be nice. I am looking at the Force 10 Model 60100 http://www.force10.com/60100.html as another solution and wondering if it will fit and can be connected to a canister.
