DGF and all

I had a hard time finding the butane cylinders locally so was looking into
switching to propane. What I found was that the Coleman two burner had the
can mounted where it wouldn't fit the 'stove' counter in the P-19. I did
find a small one burner (non-Coleman) that used a hose so the tank could be
kept up in the shelf and am considering buying one of those.

Another way to go might be cutting a hole in the cabinet top and mounting a
'cup' made out of PVC pipe under it so the cylinder of a single burner (tank
top) stove could fit down in it.

As I am loaded down with projects, and as West Marine has the butane cans
and is only 30 minutes away, I will probably just pick up a half dozen cans
the next time I go down to lighten my wallet.
