Oh, of course, and a very good point. I didn't mean that comment as a
piping instruction. The fuel regulation in that kind of burner is
rather crude and would fluctuate wildly with any pressure changes in
the fuel line. A header or day tank would be essential. I was just
referring to having only one fuel to worry about. Fill up the fuel
tank and you are filled up with stove fuel as well. The day tank
supply would tap into the fuel system somewhere so you didn't need to
handle stove fuel other than filling the big tank.

I see the particular little stove I saw in the store is no longer
shown on Dickinson's web site. I wonder if I should grab it. I could
always Ebay it if I decide I want something else, like a larger diesel
stove where the gimbaled alcohol stove is now. This is Maine after
all. I used to cruise with a wood burner and seldom found it
oppressive.

I'd use a day-tank instead of piping it off the engine fuel supply.
