Kerosene to Propane Stove Conversion
by Cliff Peterson, #72 (mindseye77@aol.com)

I converted from kerosene to propane four years ago and mounted two 6-pound aluminum tanks on the stern pulpit. Square stainless steel tubing (1" square) was cut to the needed length and fastened to the vertical position of the stern pulpit using stainless steel u-bolts. I added a piece of teak to the cap rail on the gunnel for the tanks to rest upon. The tanks are fastened to the square tubing using stainless 1" x 1/8" strap with stainless bolts. The pressure regular is housed in a small teak box fastened to the opposite side of the tubing, and the hose is run through the little vertical piece right by the bronze chafe guard.
