I store three of those throw away cannisters in a piece of PVC pipe
secured to my Edson steering pedestal. The white pipe matches the
color of the steering pedestal, so it blends well and the material is
cheap and easy to work with. I have a small hold drilled into the
bottom threaded cap, so if a cannister leaks, it has somewhere to go,
into the cockpit which is open to the weather.

I use the taller, thinner torch canisters in a similar pipe
arrangement hose-clamped to the outer side of a stern rail stanchion.
They haven't yet caused any problems and drain overboard if they leak.
