I think his point was that you need fuel to burn the stove anyway, why
not carry alcohol or propane instead of losing efficiency through the
inverter chain?



Because you don't have to haul tanks of inverter power down the dock in a
car out of the foreign taxi you had to take to get the damned tanks filled.

Diesel to charge the batteries and run the inverter are at the dock and
you're going to charge the batteries, anyways....

The less propane searching and hauling the better, eh?
