[Alberg30] Propane Tank installation(Help on stoves too)

[win alled]

These little canisters make great landfill items too.  Why buy something that
is environmentally damaging and also dangerous on a boat being that propane is
heavier than air and there is enough in one of those canisters to make a pretty
good bomb of your boat.  Ask your insurance carrier.

The Orego non pressure alcohol is MUCH safer, cheaper in the long haul and
better for the environment.  You can also use CNG without the danger problems
associated with propane.  CNG is lighter than air so you don't have to worry
about a bilge full of volatile fumes.
