My old 7000 btu single burner stove gave out. Decided to upgrade to a Coleman triton 2 burner 22000 btu.
So far it starts up nice. Need to see how it fares with some daily use in long term. Need to be mindful of extra fuel consumption too
Upgrading my propane stove/heater

Hope you've got a carbon monoxide detector.

He appears to be in a tent. I think it's alright

People die doing this in tents all the time.

Now you can have a cooking pot next to your cooking pot.

How is the terracotta pot used?
Smokeydope@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 305d
The clay pot is put over top of the propane burner and serves a few purposes.
It captures and redistributes/radiates the heat at the lower room near floor where cold air is. Without the clay pot the heat would quickly rise at the ceiling and rush out through vent holes.
The terracotta thermal mass acts as a heat sink and its large surface area effectively exchanges/radiates heat into the air.
If I want to cycle propane on and off to conserve propane the pot stays warm a while and acts as thermal battery.
Also the pot covers up the flame so its not exposed which is good for safety. Heavyness helps stabilize stove and table too.

Ah, that makes sense
I thought I was coming across a new way of cooking 😆

Flip it over and you've basically got a tandoor!
