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

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.

yacht.

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.

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.
