Thanks, that Coleman dual fuel stove looks very promising. What's the deal about storing fuel for it? They always say you can't store gasoline for more than a few months, and even adding stabilizers doesn't help that much. Is there a "shelf life" specified for Coleman fuel (=white gas?)? What do you do with it after it passes expiration? Can you use it in your car? Do you really feel comfortable storing a gallon of what amounts to gasoline at home indoors? I'd hate if the cans let out any fumes, both from a health/odor point of view and from a safety standpoint.

Re propane: it's not out of the question but I'm -really- short on space. 720 square feet is huge compared to this place (small studio, maybe 250 sq ft). I do like the ability to simmer since I buy rice in 25 pound sacks so there's always lots of it around here. Cooking stuff like that also requires a lot of fuel, which takes even more space, especially for propane.

The dual fuel stove doesn't look built to support much weight (8 qt pot full of rice and water, say), but I guess I could put some bricks on either side of it to hold the pot up.
