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.

A hose extension is available for Coleman two burner stoves so you can stick
the large propane tank anywhere you wish. I've seen it at the local army navy
camping store and at an RV supplies store. Check em out befo you discount the
stove.
