Has anyone used this fuel for their Wallas and what results did you get? http://www.msiwix.com/Klean-Heat.htm

Hey Sea Wolf, I was reading up on this thread and back in January I read your post about a platinum "Cat" catalytic propane heater. That's the same heater we had in our boat when we bought her. It worked pretty good, but I didn't like the 5 gallon bottle of propane in the cabin. It does work with a thermostat and is vented outside. This thing has been sitting in our garage for almost two years now. If anyone would like to have it, let me know and we'll figure out a way to deliver it. I'll give it a week and if I don't hear anything, she'll be hitting the dumpster.

Mike, I'm hoping I got the new and improved model. Maybe after all the little "quirks" with these stoves, they incorporated a better design. Wishful thinking on my part.

Hey Mike, I didn't Know it at the time of installation, but Cynthia now has a hair blow dryer on the starboard side of the boat.

Still have the "ol clunker" radar. Maybe this summer I'll install that bow hatch I was yaking about. Cynthia is really against it, she hates any bit of light when trying to sleep and is burned out on making covers. I showed her Tim's post about the safety feature involved with hatches. A couple more posts like that and I think she'll give in.

I bought 4 gallons of Klean Heat (made by Klean Strip) at Home Depot. I'll give that a try and see how it works.

Hey Jon- Did you get my private email regarding the Platinum Cat? I'll be glad to reimburse you for the shipping and handling, plus, say $25 for your trouble. I'm a compulseive tinkerer and love to experiment and to just figure out how things work. I'll put it to god practical use in a houseboat in the process. Let me know what you're thinking. Thanks! Joe.

Joe, I never did get your private mail or e-mail. Dang, I wished I had another propane cat heater for you because I gave this one away this afternoon. Would you be interested in a 100 lb dog? Just kidding, Cynthia would have my hide if I parted with that big stinker.

Jon- Too bad about the Plat. Cat, but oh well, thanks anyway. No, no 100 lb dog, I already have a 155 lb. Great Dane female (Shadow) who is my official First Mate (as long as my wife isn't along, then I'm the First Mate, Shadow is in the DogHouse (v-berth). and guess who the Captain is???

Dusty- I was hoping you'd come down with Les and the EQ Gang for the Lake Shasta Cruise in October. I guess I'll just have to come up north to one of the C-Brat get togethers to meet you in person. Would be a good time to bring up and dispose of some unwanted government surplus that the good people in Nevada don't seem to want stored inside that big mountain just outside Las Vegas. Placed in just the right position there near Deception Pass, it ought to help the local salmonoids quickly evolve into some great red-hot lunkers for to to catch on your new boat. Joe.

Joe -

The trip with the kids to Shasta would be great fun, and I certainly would like to meet you in person. My really LONG trips are from here to the CDory plant in Monroe with Les - as long as he drives. Of course I drive to Port Angeles to visit Jon and Cynthia, but get a break on the ferry, so it's not a bad trip - well worth it too, because they understand my pain and ply me with smoked salmon and beer!!! Tough.

Not sure your ordinance would do much good up here. No smart salmon is going to come anywhere near the Deception Pass Bridge. In fact salmon swim miles and miles just to avoid the area. I spend hours under the bridge drowning herring, and I know.
