Hi, my family is building a small cruising sailboat, and we're trying to decide what fuel to use for our stove. I thought propane would be a good choice, but I read in a book that using propane on the boat could be dangerous. Does anyone out there have any advice?

We have both a propane stove and hot water heater, love them both. You need to make sure you use an approved marine propane stove and that you have a properly vented propane locker for your tank/tanks.
You may also consider a propane "sniffer" or leak detector in your bilge. Other than that it's pretty hard to beat propane as far as cooking and odor. The alcohol stoves smell horrible IMO.
