cooking on ice

[Wiener]

I'm looking at getting a small stove for cooking brats etc. while on the ice.

What's better Propane or the white gas?

I'm thinking it's going to be propane, but I would like opinions on what everyone uses.

I like Propane and propane accesories.  I am already taking out a heater that runs on propane, just get a tee and a few hoses, wala, no messy liquid fuel to mess with.  IMO   tight lines, tight lines

Propane all the way.  Why take a chance on contaminating the water with a spill of a petroleum product.

The propane is your best and easiest bet. The gas is for very very cold temperatures I think.

Like it was said before put a tee on a bulk propane bottle and run heat in the shack while you are cooking outside.  I have done it and it makes things easier, one less thing to carry out.

1 lb propane bottles are easy to cary on an off the ice!

I think those white-fuel products should be banned. I have seen so many nasty fires from the pump style stoves and lanterns it makes you sick. From spilled fuel igniting or the tube/tank falling out of the appliance etc.
My biggest negative about the 1lb. cylinders is the mess of them being left behind littering the place up.

More so with camping I use the distribution post with a bulk cylinder and have the lantern on top and either a bbq or stove connected as well.

My last trip out I had a small bbq for my daughters hot dogs and the big outdoor cooker deep frying fish and chips for the rest of us.

At the two get togethers I have been at, I haven't heard any complaints on your cookin' Digger!  You definately know how to make them elk burgers!

propane, Got one at walmart that works on the 1 pound green bottles
Love it. For Back packing I use white gas for weight and bulk
But if you are going out for a day the propane is the way to go.
I use a buddy heater and you only have to get one kind of fuel.
If you have a bulk tank so much the better.

propane is the ticket. no mess on the ice or in your vehicle. we use a small grill from wally world. the option of the upper rack is always a plus. you can run it off 1# btls or split off a large tank.
