BIANKA is high and dry today having been pulled for the winter. But, years ago when I was living on board in New York she would often be in the water until December. One year when i was alone I thought it might be nice to have Thanksgiving on board by myself. I was not about to cook a hole Turkey for myself but, I thought buying a whole meal from a local Boston Market take out store would be perfect for a Thanksgiving dinner in BIANKA's cozy cabin. I got all the fixings I might have even had some cider on board. As I was heating up the meal and the cabin began to fill with a wonderful aroma of turkey and gravy etc... the propane ran out. Unfortunately, the meal had not been entirely cooked. Beng Thanksgiving there was no way I could get the propane tank refilled either. Enter Black Friday to save the day. Because some stores were getting a jump on Christmas sales they were open on this holiday. I jumped in the car and picked up a small Coleman stove and a one pound can of Propane. I headed back to the boat and finished cooking my Thanksgiving feast. It was a Thanksgiving to remember.

Hey Mike, I keep onboard 1lb cans and an adapter for this exact reason. You can google for "DozyAnt Steak Saver Adapter 1 lb to 20 lb Propane Tank Adapter for Disposable Throwaway Cylinder, Converter Universal 1 Pound / 16.4oz Disposable Small Bottle for 20 or 30 Pound LP Gas Steel Bottle"
Good $8 spent!
Anyway, too bad you were having dinner alone :(

Sounds good but, I actually only use one pound propane canisters on board these days after I found severe corrosion on the three burner stove and oven. Much easier to find in stores when needed too. One canister will last several weeks for me.
