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



You are so wrong.




I'm Horvath and I approve of this post.

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.



All of which tells me only idiots would abide propane cook stoves aboard a
yacht.

You get 2pts there Wilbur. I got my safety gear list from a pamphlet on
propane safety by Harold Harris.

Mr Harris also recommended:

Stainless steel non arcing hand tools.
Fully hermetic circuit breakers.
Wye type ground connection to a single point to the water.
Electrostatic conductive carperting, counters and tops.
Heel ground strap.
Hull referenced electrometer with alarm.


I have a liquid fueled stove, it uses kerosene and hydrogen peroxide. Cooks
quickly and gets me up on plane in 5 seconds.

Good Grief!

Are you sucking up to Bart or what?

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.

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

For a long time, I carried one in my car... partly a safety
precaution, partly because I had an inventory of a dozen or so and had
them recertified & redistributed every 6 months and I just seemed to
not be all that organized.

Better to have it and not need it, than to etc etc...

I like the idea of carrying one (or two) to strange hotels.
Thanks Oz!
