I think I read somewhere that compressed natural gas is lighter than air and therefore somewhat safer than propane, but not sure if its packaged in portable cylinders, and easily available.
Propane is great if used properly. Having witnessed a propane explosion as a boat was departing a dock which resulted in a crew member thrown overboard and another temporarily blinded by the concussion of the blast, not to mention a totaled boat, extreme care must be taken.

You’re right. CNG is far safer and won’t collect in the bilge but it never caught on in the States and is harder to source.
I don’t think one can buy a Forespar Mini-Galley anymore. It seems that they are not being made. The article needs to be updated.
