I'm the OP refered to below. My reason for wanting a dual stove
is this....
My crusing area has lots of neat anchorages...therefore I
need propane. The are also lot's of neat little marinas which
provide shore power, but the propane facilities may be miles
away. In that case, I'd rather save propane, and use electricity
for heat (only to take the morning chill off) and cooking.

First, we have dual propane tanks and after 3 winters of cruising we
finally went ahead and refilled the propane tank. It lasts a really,
really long time on one tank and it wasn't empty. I think they are 20
lb. tanks. We also have a small propane tank for the grill.

Second - instead of getting an electric stove or the like to use when
hooked up to shore power why not get a microwave? We don't have one
because we never used it and took it off the boat and gave it away (to
our grandson), but lots of people do. For heat, we use a small space
heater.

I saw these, but they are not what the OP asked for.

Oops. I thought he meant propane OR electricity. I agree it makes little
sense to want both given the low cost and convenience of propane.
