this forum always provides me with valuable info, especially in areas I have never considered.

Propane tanks - I don't have one and could not imagine needing one on my little vessel.

But, I do have a couple 1 lb. bottles of "Coleman propane fuel" for my Magma grill. My boat actually came with 2 grills and 2 bottles. I disposed of the 2 bottles that came with the boat since I could not verify their integrity. Bought 2 new bottles last year, but have yet to use them. The grill mounts on the stern rail, so cooking from the cockpit puts one in close proximity to the bottle / grill if ever there was a problem.

Couple of questions here, hopefully still relevant and pertinent to this thread:
1. Does anyone have any experience to share using these propane bottles aboard?
2. What are safety precautions to take prior to use? Can they be tested safely?
3. Proper storage aboard the boat?

Thanks!
