My boat (89 C25 SR WK) came with an LNG 2 burner stove. I love the stove, but the LNG bottle has finally run out of fuel, there appears to be nowhere to get it filled except on the coasts (I live on the western slope of Colorado)I may just replace the whole thing with a camp stove, as many have done, but it's been very nice to have it. The cylinder itself is pretty heavy and lives in the lazerette (sp?) any ideas?

By lazarette, do you mean the storage compartment under the forward portion of the port cockpit seat, which we affectionately refer to as the "dumpster", or the separate gas tank storage compartment with the lift-up door? I would think it very ill-advised to keep the LNG tank in the dumpster, unless it is very well ventilated.
If you cannot get the tank refilled locally, it might be smart to replace the stove altogether. Several members here seem to like the single burner butane stoves, such as the ones made by Brunton(sp?).

Edit: Have you checked to see if the stove will work with propane?

Yes it in the Dumpster, But as I understand it, the LNG is not heavier than air, so not a problem like propane. Thanks for the info, I have looked at several butane stoves and may go that route, I already got an email from a member interested in my current unit, once again, thanks to all..

I think the Brunton is more of a backpacking stove, I was thinking more of something like this:http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-Portable-Stove-List/dp/B001TF8UY8/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1376330779&sr=8-5&keywords=GAS+ONE+BUTANE+STOVE

It would fit easily and be a bit more stable. I only use one burner at a time anyway, mostly for coffee, not just in the morning....

Not a camping stove. I've got a Brunton tabletop stove that looks like this one, as well as the one you referenced:

They are all over Ebay.
Getting one in stainless steel, like the one you referenced, would be a plus.

I haven't seen those under the Brunton name, but I have one with the Kenyon brand, have also seen it as Burton. They're the exact same thing--the black plastic carrying cases are identical and unbranded. Apparently they've become too cheap for WM and Defender to carry them. They cook like gas, but only down to about 40 degrees (so I hear), below which butane doesn't have enough pressure.

How will one of the Brunton/Kenyon stoves work at Jeff's altitude of 9,017'?

I stand corrected. Mine is, in fact, a Burton stove. Sorry for the confusion. As I once told my English teacher, it's just a few letters...! LOL
Can't comment on the altitude question. his best bet may be a propane camping stove. They are also available in stainless steel.

My wife and I took a trip a few years back. I brought along one white gas Coleman stove. In the morning we were all set - we had a nice night. We also had a coffee pot, a frying pan, several eggs, bread, butter and oatmeal. Tried the stove and it did not work! There were no barbecues available at the marina so we were screwed! We had to walk about 3 miles for a cup of coffee and stale pastries. Since then, I've purchased a propane stove (max burton) and now I carry both just in case. I never want to be in that position again.

well, Its on it's way, I'll let you all know about how the altitude, and probably the cold issue works out. It routinely gets into the 20's at night before the seasons over. one of the prettiest sails I ever had required removing 6 inches of snow off the decks.... I am hopeful....

You're right Dave - butane. But like my Chemistry prof used to say what's a few C-O-H atoms among friends?

But 20 degrees is dubious. If you can keep the cannister warmer somehow, that's what matters.

The reason I brought this up was back in '72 we stayed a couple of nights at Shadow Mountain Lake just outside of Rocky Mountain National Park. Due to the altitude it took mt parents like 30 or 45 minutes to boil a pot of coffee using a Coleman stove.
