    BBQ. LPG or Electric ?

    FF, do you use the propane for the reefers only when stationary or while "at sea" reason i ask is in my rv i had to make sure she was level to properly work, and that was level as the fridge sits, not the rv itself is all well with a little rockin and rollin or is it electric when out ?

    converting a cozy cabin heater

    natural gas consists of methane butane ethane propane and is lighter than air propane is heavier then air thats why the orifice for NG is larger than that for LP edit: in a simple "analog" burner cevice device the regulator would stay the same i think, just the orifice would be changed
