[Public-list] Propane

[Richard Mair]

We bought an origo as well. It is a 3000. We also
bought the Gimbals and muonted it in the hole left by
the old stove. This gives it enough swinhing room. It
works great.We have had it for 3 seasons and the fuel
is 99% alchohol sold as paint thinner in a lot of
hardware stores without a marine markup
