Got Hungry and No Propane

I was sitting looking at the board and noticed my stomach was rumbling. I went to the kitchen and decided I would have a couple of eggs and a piece of toast. I turned on the propane stove, it hissed a bit, the igniter clicked but no flame. I listened and no hissing sound meaning I'm out of propane. I have a very small apartment sized stove that uses propane from BBQ sized bottles. One will last me around three months or so.

I was wanting those eggs NOW. I turned around and saw the coal stove sitting in the dining room beckoning me. I got the griddle out, and greased it up. I opened the ash pan door to goose the flame a bit as I had it on barely an idle. It cranked up and wallah!!! Two fried eggs with toast and coffee. Closed the ash pan door; ate my eggs; and now I can get ready to hit the road with Momma to go to the Meet and Greet.

It's gonna be a good day!!

Get yourself a second tank and a switchover regulator like they use on RV's.

I now have a hunger for bacon and eggs and coffee. Blueberry pancakes would be the perfect end to that breakfast.
