sorry, I meant the alcohol cookers, not the unvented, potentially suffocating heaters. Just finding ways of eliminating RV explosions. I should have been more explicit. Lot's of carbon monoxide fatalities on all kinds of boats. Quite a few poorly installed propane rigs, as well. I'm no expert, just an observer. Camp safe. I buy gallons of stove alcohol on sale at home centers. A gallon is more than enough for cooking on my annual 2 weeker. I have a vented woodstove for heat, and no inboard engine. Haven't needed heat in my wooden boat since November of '97 George
