[Rhodes22-list] Stove fuel consideration

[Richard F Sheehan]

Todd;

Propane is heavier than air.  For this reason, I put in an alcohol two
burner stove [Origo built in].  Many people use propane successfully
without explosion or catching fire - they also have positive ventilation
of their bilge and cabin.  I'd keep my propane on deck or under the
benches to avoid any possible problems.
