Alternative stove

Why would it matter if it meets today’s code or not?

Compliance to the codes in effect on the date of manufacture is all that’s ever required.

The law says I have to wear the seatbelt in my daily driver, my 1934 Ford doesn’t even have seat belts, so I can’t be ticketed for not wearing one.

Many good suggestions. My plan is this, and this can be altered easily.
I bought this on ebay $27


which is one-burner and does not take up much space. I will use the 1lb propane for now and reserve the option to add something at the 20lb tank to send both 11 and 14WC so both stove and heater will run off the 20lb tank.
I often need two stoves when cooking so will either get another one of these, for $27 shipped this time, or maybe a two-burner down the road. I like that this is one also so less counter space needed in a small kitchen.
It is not ideal, but bigger renno projects come first.
It i big enough for my wok yet will hold my little coffee maker. It has rubber feet so will not scratch also.
The upside is I can cook outside those meals I would never do inside which have the downside.
thanks

Like those involving the wok I would expect! :B

I think my wife would kill me if I tried to put my wok in one of the cupboards.

Sorry - shouldn't have said "bottle" of propane. I meant a small tank of propane. Like a 20# tank you would use with a grill.

Most times inside I just need to heat a couple cups of water. Coffee press, instant whatever, I use my old Jet-Boil.
A little butane one burner is used a lot for heating leftovers. I have never shot my eye out using the propane Coleman inside.
My wife has a picture of me stir gravy with 1 hand, holding umbrella over DO and skillet with the other. We ate biscuits and gravy inside.

Yes, any food that has strong odor that lingers or is greasy. I will have a vent hood over the stove, but will cook the natural bacon outside when possible. There are meals I would never cook due to the odor or grease…
Side note, I use a small pressure cooker for as much as possible so steam is all I have to vent.
Put the Fantastic Fan in reverse to help the vent hood out.

Ha, but one of my buddies almost did with a little Coleman propane radiant heater.
Story goes, he came home drunk from the bar, fired up the little heater in his old camper (camper was a strong word to use for it, lol). And him and the dog went to sleep.
He woke up cold, heater out, click, click BOOM!

We showed up the next morning to go snowmobiling and he was sitting outside by a campfire with no eyebrows and his camper door lodged firmly in the snow about 20' behind the camper!
Poor dog had gotten a haircut too!
Was funny since no one was hurt!
