Does any one have good reasons to have spare propane tank, other than a BBQ? I don't have a generator (pending me being a cheap-a$$), so no need for that reason. I'd like a second but really can't justify it ... suggestions?
Camp stoves, i.e. Weber and Coleman gas ranges, can hook up to a conventional 32lb propane tank with adaptors. The ability to cook allows you to store dry bulk goods like pasta and rice. And, a hot meal beats cold trail mix any day of the week. Just be sure to check ventilation when you fire it up.
I have an old Campingaz Bluet with 5 days worth of fuel in my kit. Campingaz no longer distributes to the US, so the stove is only good for one or two emergency uses unless I want to drop $15-$30 for replacement cartridges.
Also, as an FYI, this season is shaping up to be a rough one...
