I love my Origo.  To migitate the sharp corners, I keep it in a plastic
dishpan. There is enough room around it for the potholder a butane lighter.

Scott,

While I haven't actually used one of those Origos, I have seen some of
the other M-boaters using them on the rendezvous' and I agree, they
do seem very nice.

I don't keep my propane cylinders in the cabin for the very reason you
cited.  The risk of a leaking valve is very real (just had a leaking one the
other day) so when I'm not using them, they go in the wet locker on my
17 with a low vent to the atmosphere through the transom.  If I had a 15
I'd probably make the switch.

The only thing I've seen about the Origo that I didn't particularly care for
were the rather sharp edges on it, but that's pretty minor.

The burn time you list for a quart of fuel is very comparable to what I get
with a
1# propane bottle.

Tod
