but what if I am sharing the coffee? :-)


It shares just as nicely when boiled up on a nice, silent, propane
stove.

In a small boat, you can use the propane stove as an impromptu cabin
heater as well. Turn a clay flower pot upside down over the flame, but
leave a hatch or window open a tiny crack because this technique will
produce a lot of moisture. Make sure some air for combustion gets in
under the bottom of the pot.
