Okay, I have to ask this.
Last year we were out on a friend's boat and went to Gull during the week for some fun and a BBQ on the stern. He had a propane BBQ that was mounted on the stern rail. As we had been anchored and out relaxing and swimming most of the day, it was one of those high 90's days, as I got near the gas vent, I could small gas fumes coming from the vent from warm, evaporating gas in the tank as it breathed. He had the grill going like it was nothing and I wondered, is there a concern about the grill flame and the gas fumes and going on the cover of some boating insurance company flyer about "While grilling on the water.... fire claim number #######"? or is this something normal as the gas fumes went straight to the water level and the propane grill was up high on the stern (there was NO odor anywhere near hear) and the propane created a forced gas, controlled burn?
As I said, a stupid question, but one I have curious about, expecially since we are thinking about gettting one for our boat this season.
