Well we had the force 5 in the galley for about 6-8 mo. now.

What a fuel saver, the gas will last about 3 times as long as with
other stoves like Attwoods ect..
Has no pilot light to waste fuel.

Easy to clean, solid HD stainless steel.

Nothing but positive things to say about the stove.

Sounds very good. Is it a 3-burner or 4? How big is the oven
and how well does the thermostat on it work?

Most people don't use their oven but we like bisquits (easy
to make) and pies (a bit more of a challenge) and while I
have learned to make beer bread in a pressure cooker, I have
not yet figured out how to make sweet potato pie in a
pressure cooker.

3 18X12X14 with 5 rack shelves. Mines manual with a temp gauge, has a
broiler as well for browning the pie tops! You are the thermostat,
takes a bit getting use to. Mine second hand rebuildt like new. The new
ones have a thermostats.

I have a two-burner low pressure alcohol system (no oven). I'm thinking
about converting it to CNG. a propane conversion isn't recommended by Sabre,
apparently. I think it has to do with the difficulty of installation.

Most likely. You can mount a CNG tank anywhere. Mine is
under the starboard settee, next to the stove. . You do need
a small vent to the outside. Is there tank exchange places
near you?

You can even mount your tank outside. Alcohol is more dangerious IMO.

Doug,

I had an inverter on "Pneuma" for my Micro Oven but I also like
biscuits; so I also had a Toaster Oven. My crew use to kid me about my
$2000.00 biscuits.

I could bake a 7" pie in the Toaster Oven but I only did it when I had
Shore Power hook-up. Just to much battery drain for a pie.

The biscuits though, Ah yes! 12 minutes of toaster oven time were more
than worth it. I'd run the engine to help the batteries for the inverter
draw.

How? sounds good!

CNG is a pain to find. You need a good bilge
blower for propane. You can do it if you want
it Jon. It is not that hard.
