What safety gear would you have near a propane
stove in the galley?

1 pt

1. Master shut off valve for propane.
2. Fire hood.
3. Cover for stove.
4. CO detector.
5. Vent fan.
6. Fire extinguisher located near exit.
7. Heavy duty oven mitts or M-60 barrel changing mitts.
8. Halon or purple K in a can/small bucket/bottle.
9. Propane leak detector.

Good Grief!

Are you sucking up to Bart or what?

No, he has me killfiled so he never would see it.



If I was worried about the safety of my stove,
then I would send Bart down to do the cooking.
He's a big guy, and he would be able to absorb
a fairly large explosion.

I think that I deserve 2 points for this
answer.

If you'd used the proper clyclic rate of fire, you would't need those
mitts.


The newer stoves are even better:

That's something. As one who had to teach half sleeping classes how
to set the headspace and avoid overheating to the point of cook offs
and lock up on the predessor stove, that's impressive.


I bet you can kill a lot of wolves with it.

He may mean a smoke hood.

I know a number of people who fly regularly and who stay in hotels,
mostly in Asia.
They have these at hand to offer at least an opportunity to escape the
all too often fires

Very interesting. I've seen these on Air Force jets.

One thing I noticed on boats in the UK. A flame retardant
blanket--to one side of a stove. Good for putting out a
grease fire.

Can you explain what a fire hood is?

A firehood is used to contain flames and heat. There are many types for many
different applications. Next time you are in Home Depot or any of the big
box stores look up at the ceiling. You'll see something like curtains or
barriers about every 30 feet or so. This is to stop heat, flames and
pyrolysis gases from spreading along the underside of the ceiling. Steel
weakens considerably under heat, so the intent of the curtains/hood is to
limit the structural failure to a small area. You see the same principle in
platform framed houses with fire blocks (cats) installed halfway up inside
the wall between the studs (it looks like a horizontal stiffener).
Restaurants have them above the stove, it doubles as an exhaust hood and
looks like a big stainless steel funnel. In the case of a boat, a firehood
would look like a normal kitchen style exhaust hood but a bit deeper and
would not allow flames to escape around the sides, flames and heat go up
into the hood and not onto nearby wood, fabric, maps, etc. The proper name
for the thing is probably something other than firehood. The thing just
slows down the spread of a fire, hopefully enough to allow people to escape
and give time to fight the source of the flames.

Most boat galleys:

Are a conflagaration waiting to happen. Feeding stoves with pressurized gas
(propane) is really asking for it.
