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. Regards Donal -- |

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. |

Halon or purple K in a can/small bucket/bottle. 9. Propane leak detector. 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: http://tinyurl.com/6df9bv Are a conflagaration waiting to happen. Feeding stoves with pressurized gas (propane) is really asking for it. |

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! Fresh Breezes- Doug King |
