propane camping stoves have *substantially* higher heat output than propane
marine stoves, which have about the same heat output per minute as an Origo
stove.

FWIW, a golf ball size clump of C-4 plastic explosive burned under a pot will
boil a liter of water in about 30 seconds, but I wouldn't recommend as a marine
stove.

OK, I know the dangers of propane, and I have been using it for years
with no problem. I do not store propane in the cabin, nor do I leave it
in the cabin overnight. I use a stainless coleman type stove and love
it. I have external fuel lockers and leave the small propane cly there.
I can get 10-15 days out of one cly but all my cooking/coffee only
lasts 5 mins. I heat can goods and boil water. Nothing fancy.
My question is am I the only one? Does anyone else here use propane?
Alcohol is a hassel and slower.
