Thank you for your reply,

I am worried about the state of which you describe it is your stove. You
know that when they are going, they do it with a big BANG!!!

We are planning to sail all the tributaries rivers to the River Plate and we
know that the paraffin over there is very good and cheap. Primus stoves are
everywhere. The LPG bottles in Uruguay do not have a fitting with thread.
They clip on. For this reason we were considering the paraffin stove (the
look is beautiful)

After the trip through the River Plate we would like to see the waterways of
Europe.Should not be a problem with LPG over there.

regards

Arthur & Rosa
