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.

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.

Heck yeah! Fresh hot bisquits are awesome, nothing to warm
you up faster on a chilly day. Plus the oven warms the
inside of the boat, and the smell is heavenly.

How? sounds good!

It's actually pretty easy. My recipe is easy to remember:

Three

That means 3 cups of flour (self-rising), 3 tablespoons of
sugar, slightly less than 1 beer. Mix up in a big bowl and
knead well. The official recipe doesn't call for it, but I
add a teaspoon of salt which improves the crust. Normally,
you'd bake it in a greased bread pan, but to make it in a
pressure cooker you have to have the perforated insert for
the bottom of the pot.

When the dough is thoroughly kneaded and you can feel it
start to rise with your hands, it will still be rather
sticky. Roll it into a ball, and sprinkle more flour over it
to take away the sticky-ness. Roll & sprinkle some more
until it is no longer sticking to the bowl. Now grease the
sides of the pot, and put a circle of tin foil over the
insert. Put the ball of dough down in the pot and mash it a
little, you want about 3 fingers width clear all the way
around so the bread can expand. Now put it on the stoveon
low, seal the lid, and wait about an hour to 1 1/4 hours. If
you want the crust to brown, open the pot sooner & paint a
little butter on it- cook another 20 minutes.

Time to cook & heat may vary, the best way to tell if it's
done is to stab a skewer into the middle and see if it is
sticky inside.

The bread should pop out, then you roll it upside down and
peel off the tinfoil. Slice to desired thickness... it is
usually a bit crumbly so it doesn't make good sandwiches.

People were amazed when we produced what appeared to be
fresh-baked bread on the Hunter 19.

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?

I would think so, but I haven't checked.
