There are places along the ICW that deliver propane tanks as a swap function.
Also heard not all that hard to get refills in the Bahamas or the islands....
But hard or difficult is a relative term.
Sounds about right. I didn't do much research, just haven't seen any fuel docks here where propane is routinely available. Wasn't actually looking hard, but thought I would have seen one or two. Nada.
I have a non-pressurized alcohol stove, and I have grown to like it. I won't let anyone use it until I give them a lesson, then it's simple. It doesn't get as hot as propane, but great for cooking anything on medium or low heat. I also have a portable butane cartridge stove on the side for quickly boiling big pots of water. This simple setup works well for me.
As someone mentioned; We all adapt to what we have.
I couldn't see the flame, and that made me nervous. But it also wouldn't make coffee in a percolator, so I gave up on it. And we had electric at the time, too, so we adapted.
