We have been in Europe the past few years and have used Camping Gaz butane which is easy and not too expensive. Now we are in the Caribbean and Camping Gaz is available some places but not everywhere. Next year we will continue west thru Panama to the So. Pacific and then to New Zealand.

Should we switch to Propane? (The stove will operate on either) If so what adapters are needed to have them filled everywhere? Should I buy aluminum or fiberglass tanks?

Thanks for the help and any suggestions.
