Maybe this isn’t the most exciting piece of kit out there. It’s not as shiny and sexy as a sprit but it sure solves a problem in a way that is just…nifty.
We’ve a propane grill we use on the back of the boat. I don’t like the idea of intentionally burning coals over a teak deck, so it’s gas for me. But that gives you the problem of what to do with those little cans of propane. You don’t need a lot of them, but they need to be secure and not roll around or get too salty; they rust very quickly.
This thing, from Sailor’s Solutions (the same folks that brought you the odd but effective Sensibulb) gives you a place to store them and protect them without taking up any real space.
It looks just like what it is – a few cleverly glued together bits of PVC plumbing. It also comes with some hose clamps to stick on your rail. The bottom is open, so the compartment is vented.
This makes me happy because of it’s simplicity and the elegance of the solution. It took a minute to install and can be installed outside the life lines, so it doesn’t get in the way of anything on deck. Two propane canisters are safe, protected and out of way.
I just like it so I thought I’d share. $59.95 at Sailorssolutions.com.
