I do. I use 'em (the green Coleman 1 litre bottles) on my rail BBQ.
Good for about five meals. The galley stove is a converted Kenyon
Homestrand using barbeque side burners (10,000 BTU) and outside
propane.

Can you explain more? That sounds interesting.

TIA

Which bit? The Coleman bottle on the rail BBQ or the alcohol
stove-to-propane refit? For the latter, I used essentially barbeque
parts and pressure-ready refrigeration hose mated with flange-fitted
copper tubing running to the outside via a hole punched into the
lazarette..there's a solenoid shut-off and a propane bilge sniffer in
that mix, too.

I follow essentially the same technique used by a fellow who still
posts here whose name I can't recall, but who I think had a Pearson
Triton 28 (?) and had a photo-heavy website showing a number of good
boat systems ideas. He shows a bullet-proof propane installation, but
there are many safe ways to do this job.

I have all the pieces, but haven't finished the job due to more
pertinent engine issues, now close to resolution.

For onboard cooking, I use a Coleman two-burner camp stove on a plank
athwart the cockpit for boiling pots and stews, and a Force 10 BBQ on
the rail for grilling.


It was the converted Kenyon with 10,000-BTU burners that caught my
eye. But your last leaves me puzzled. I don't know what the galley
stove does if you do your cooking outsied.

Thanks
