Each cabin is equipped with a propane stove. If you run out of propane, please notify the retreat manager. In some situations a replacement tank will already be available at your cabin. To change tanks, make sure the valve is turned ‘off’ and unscrew the fitting from the empty tank and screw it on to the new tank’s fitting.

When attaching a new bottle, please note the following:

• Turn gas 1/3 turn on at the tank outside the cabin.
• Inside, light the stove by holding a match over the burner and turning the gas knob to ‘on’.
• Put a little soap on the hose coupling (brass part) inside. If it bubbles, there is a leak. Tighten the coupling, wipe off soap and try again.
• When coupling checks out ok, turn outside tank on full.
• Don’t turn propane stove on too high when lighting the burner inside.
• If you need help, please ask the retreat manager for assistance.
• When using the propane stove, maintain a blue flame rather than a yellow one. When the stove is turned up high enough to create a yellow flame, the flame will cause carbon to build up on the bottom and sides of the pot, creating a mess when you set it down on the counter.
