OFF Level was a problem a few decades ago, today the mfg seem to say if you can stay in bed all is well.

OUT of level does burn more fuel if constant , but the units like motion and makes them even more efficient.

Sun Frost tries to make a big deal that a good electric unit uses less energy.

True indeed , but comparing the hassles of maintaining and feeding a diesel noisemaker ,with under a buck a day for propane seems more money and effort efficient.

A really great system was used in GB , acetylene .Lighter than air so no hazard.

It cooks well and can be used for heat or cabin lights .

Sadly the tank is heavy , but worse is in the USA a special paperwork is required to purchase the gas.

In the past (early 1900's) acetylene generators were installed in apartment houses , so the occupants could cook with clean burning gas.

I tried for a year or so to create a marine acetylene generator , but the results weren't worth the effort.

Any chemistry majors here? A fortune awaits!
