    Most megas are really anal about that type of thing and open flames in the truck. I'm glad I work for a company that has APUs with 110 outlets. The also don't care about propane and propane accessories.

    Company rules or no I wouldn't have open flames inside the truck.

    I have them all the time. I grew up in campers and RVs so I know what I'm doing. I did see one driver one time err on the side of caution and use his propane stove out side of his truck. It was on his cat walk right next to his diesel tanks.

    Back in the old days,the Indians and Pakistanis would try wire around a bottle of water and stick it down the exhaust pipe. That is how they heated their water to make their tea.

    You can't talk or think about propane and propane accessories without doing in Hank Hill's voice. I was waiting to see if anyone caught that.

    i cooked rice every night with one of these for a year. a pot of rice and two cans of tuna, and use nacho cheese Doritos to eat it. somebody tell me a combination that's cheaper and better for you. that's called a "lighter" by the way. for really big cigarettes.
