We were recently without power for 25 hours this winter and used our Coleman stove with that little bottle of propane that had to be 10 years old. No problem. We had it stored in the garage so the bottles look brand new. We expect ours to last forever as long as they don’t have a leak and are stored safely.
Thanks!
I have a couple propane stoves, including one that just screws on top of the bottles. Has a plastice base to hold the bottle so it doesn’t fall over - I use that one for stir-fry because no one can do stir fry right on an electric stove.
Also have about 4 of the single-mantle lights that go on top. Those are great when the power goes out.
And what collection would be complete without the attachment that lets you refill the small bottles from the 5 gallon ones?
Still, one time I was messing with a propane heater and it went POOF! and I lost half the hair on my arms and face...
I treat that stuff with respect!
