    Check out hellroaring at http://www.hellroaring.com/. I have been using one of their isolators for 7 years and no problems. Pretty simple and mindless operation. They also make battery combiners like when using a second battery for winching that may work for what you are trying to do.

    Simple stove setup

    Altho' not propane, I've been using a single burner coleman powerpack propane stove. It has a large surface area for a big pan and sits low to the countertop so is very stable. it also simmers really well. I added a pezio ignitor from a bbq to make it matchless. I've been really happy with it.
