Scott, I not only agree that it is not always a great idea, but that it is always a bad idea. But get ready for the attacks, because they are coming. We are about to be pilloried by those who run their refrigerators on propane while underway. I was even given an electronic, digital lashing for pointing out that the owner's book says that one should make sure to turn off the propane valve before getting underway. mcneely > > > On 1/5/2013 4:33 PM, Dave Mcneely wrote: > > ---- Don Hanson <dhanson928@GMAIL.COM> wrote: > >> Here's one for all you westie campers out there....How many of you have > >> closed the stove lid, after turning the burners "off".....but really > >> turning them down to the German Low setting where the flame is really low > >> and almost invisible in sunlight?

However, more times than I can count, I have turned the burner to that setting and left it on while thinking it off. Went hiking once with it that way. Yikes. I have a marker posted between the burner knobs now that is a reminder to me to be sure the burners are turned to the "off" position. > > > > mcneely > > > -- David McNeely |
