Maybe the Nathans is a northern thing. Both Sams and Costco sell them
but not at the snack bar.

Costco, until recently, sold the Hebrew National 1/4lb'er. Now their selling the Kirkland brand,
same size. I can't tell the difference between the two. Both are great, and, I think, have a better
flavor than the Nathans. But, maybe there's just more salt mixed with the fat. I don't tell my
doctor that I eat 'em. And, I do it only once every couple months.

I haven't looked at the package but Kirkland has been listing the
manufacturer on a lot of their products. It may still be Hebrew
National.

I think virtually all hot dogs have way too much salt but that may
just be me. I usually get the low sodium, low fat Mavericks if I want
a hot dog for me. The kids still like the regular ones. I have a
roller so hot dogs can be too easy. I have to watch myself.



Hebrew National has some lower fat dogs. I've never looked at what
they've done about the salt. The lower fat dogs are pretty good.

Those are usually what I buy for the kids (all beef low fat) but they
are still pretty salty. The mavericks are better for you but they cost
almost as much as sirloin steak.

Have you ever tried turkey dogs? I believe they have about half the sodium of a hot dog. Don't know
what they taste like though.

We've been using ground turkey instead of ground beef with the Hard Times Chile mix. Can hardly tell
the difference.

It would certainly eliminate the ethanol/bad fuel problems.

Where onboard does one safely store the propane?

Why not where the gasoline is stored now? Different tank, of course. I've got four 20lb'ers on my
trailer. Doesn't seem to cause anyone a problem until I go under the tunnel at Norfolf or Baltimore.
Then I just have to turn them off.

That looks like a weed eater engine to me....

I think you are supposed to worry about storing propane anywhere that
it could pool in the bilge.
I would store them on deck, in a well ventilated area.

I didn't think you could even go through a tunnel with a propane tank,
on or off. They must have loosened up on that.

Maybe enough RV'ers have complained about it. As to your assertion that propane would pool in the
bilge, you are correct - if it leaked. But gas would do the same thing, no?

Anyway, to check your assertion I went here. Very informative. Some funny responses!

I have a hard time getting commercial hot dogs that don't taste real
salty to me. I like mine grilled to a char, though!!

In a gas tank? Somehow I think that's a bad idea. Why don't you google
up the correct answer.

Conventional wisdom is that it should be stored on deck, away from any
openings that lead below or to an enclosed space. Many boats that
use propane for cooking have a sealed locker that is ventilated
overboard. I have seen others with the propane cylinder installed on
a stern bracket.

Your answer makes a lot of sense. Being heavier than air, propane will
drift along a surface and fall into any hole it finds.

John, management of LP gas is a well known problem, on boats.

I am always in the learning mode. That's why the question mark.

But the article indicates that proper procedures for handling the stuff are well known. The article
answers the original question.

Thanks.
