I ran out of propane once, and happened to have my Tangia stove in the car so I took that with me.

I know this is not going to be a popular option, however, the Trangia stove burns pretty much anything, and works fine with gel fuel if you don't like flammable liquids (and who would blame you).

It works great, it's quiet, and you can take it to the beach if you want to cook, or boil water.

It fits easily between the pot holders.  The overall design keeps everything together safely, as the pieces interlock, and the kettle is recessed into the wind guard. It won't slide off.  I wouldn't use it if you were really rockin' and rollin' but at anchor you'd be fine.

With CNG - a bad connection ....  is NOT a safety hazard


Folks, Be cautious about CNG leaks as well.  All explosive gasses are hazards.  Some much lower hazard than others.
True LNG it isn't going to settle into the bilge as LPG does.  Nevertheless it can be nearly as dangerous if, for example, the tank is mounted in a closed area where rising gas can be trapped. 
Such as ... when we chartered it was below a berth in a storage area where some gas would defo have been trapped. 
Mounted in that type of location there could also be an ignition source from anything (like a charger or an electrical connection or worn insulated cable running through the cubby.)
Twenty years from now you'll be more disappointed by the things you didn't do, than by the ones you did.
So throw off the bowlines.  Sail away from the safe harbor.  Catch the tradewinds in your sails.

Guys : A number of times I have recommended that ALL compartments be vented.  On my C34 I installed a 12"X12" teak vent on ALL compartments (even the under the aft cabin setee where the CNG tank is installed - even thought I have propane).

I did that because the best way to defeat mildew is thru moving air/ventilation!!
