Carrying Butane stove in pop-up truck Camper. 'Hawk' shell.

[maddog348]

As we have no cooking stove in our new pop-up, need to know where the best place to carry our small Butane stove would be. Know the propane needs to be in a dedicated vented compartment. We do have a furnace;2 10# propane; but not enough room in the cabinet for butane tanks.

Thanks One 'N' All for any help. Will be back. Just go this Beast 2 days ago; Four Wheel Camper 'Hawk' shell on 2006 Tundra 6 1/2 ft bed.

CoolMom42 ~~ As for me ~ Not Newbee ~ see sig. Just checkin' to see if there was as STRONG a 'push' in keeping the small butane cylinders vented as with the propane tanks & 1# green bottles. All my PROPANE cabinets are vented and 'unlockable'. K

Just newbies, I think. Haven't heard of any incidents.

Thanks coolmom42 ~ Yes just the cylinders. They have a padded case they 'live' in in the motorhome -see sig- in the propane compartment. Just heat water for coffee on short trips with the Butane ~ It is a lot smaller than my 3 burner Brunton ~ but don't have the room for it. Stove itself lives where I can find room or in cab of truck. Thanks again, Kate

I assume you mean the butane itself and not the stove components.

I would put the cylinders in a sturdy box, with cushioning to keep them from banging around, in whatever storage area you find convenient. And I would not be overly concerned about it being vented.

You will get a lot more efficient/rapid heating from a propane stove.
