The electricity in the computer you're using to post to this
group has the potential of killing you, yet you use it. One
assumes that it's because you aren't sticking your fingers into
the power supply, or ****ing into the vents.

Propane isn't inherently dangerous, it just needs to be treated
with respect. A properly installed, maintained, and operated
propane system is safe. It's cost, availability, and ease of use
make it a very good source of heat in a boat.
