The boat cooks with LPG or propane. I have a brass coloured spanner (wrench) to dis/connect Calor canisters or bottles.

I just swapped an empty for a full one when a fuel boat* passed. We stopped side by side in the middle of the canal, which blocks it.

The brass-coloured spanner was quick to find among the nickel-plated ones, so the entire exchange was quick.

*Fuel boats sell diesel, LPG, and some do pump-outs.

Apparently, if the #propane delivery guy overfills the tank, another guy has to come out to hook up another tank to deal with any gas expansion that'll happen when the weather warms up.

Microwaved leftovers for dinner tonight, but the gas is back on, and the stove didn't explode when we lit the burners. Calling that a win. #Vermont

Yes, propane! Most #narrowboats have #propane #cookers. It can also be used for #heating. Alde is probably the leading brand for producing #propane boilers for boats that will run radiators as a #domestic #boiler will.

#Diesel #heaters are also popular. Eberspacher and Webasto being the main brands though many fit very competitively priced Chinese units, but I read somewhere that they are not approved for marine use and should they start a fire insurance would be invalid.

A few #liveaboard boaters have larger Aga or Rayburn oil or solid fuel fired cookers that will also drive radiators

I referred to #cooker rather than #stove deliberately. Almost all privately owned narrow boats have small traditional style #solidfuel
(wood/coal) stoves fitted. On 19th century #boats theses would have been used both for heating and cooking. On modern boats they are usually stand alone heaters in the saloon, but some will be fitted with boilers and drive radiators elsewhere on the boat.

We offer propane heaters to make your tent comfortable all season long. #tents #partytents #Propane heaters #tentheaters
