The compact size is nice for a small boat.

What type of sailing/cruising are you planning to do, Jon?
The biggest glitch with CNG is finding a place to exchange
bottles. Not a problem for short term sailing. My last
bottle has been in 2 seasons and is still 7/8 full.

I guess I'm going to try it before I convert to CNG.

I haven't tried it yet, but that's what I have on my

We had the earlier version on our last boat. Great
stove, if a bit
smelly. Never failed to do what we asked of it.

You could put in a drop of scented oil (rose oil is nice)..then it
wouldn't smell so bad...

Were you able to adjust the heat output?

Yes. Infinitely. On mine, it was a round 'plate' that slid
over the fuel canister opening, via a sliding knob. Also
when you closed it , it would cover the opening, thus
preventing evaporation, which I believe Thom mentioned.

Yeah, that should work. At first I though it was the fuel
( Hardware store) but I tried some from an RV place and it
was the same.

I think 95% of the time it would be in the bay. So, finding an exchange
probably isn't an issue. At some point, I'll do a long weekend down or up
the coast, but realistically for the short-term, it's not in the cards, as
work is really getting crazy right now. At some point, I'd like to take it
down to Mexico, but that's not for a couple of seasons.

The Origo was the builders choice. $300 for the option I believe. For some
reason, the original owner didn't go for that.

they're nice little stoves. Very simple. Hey, if you end up
with a single burner I have the cutting board for it.

Thanks Scotty, IKTIM )

Scout,

I had 500 watt Micro Wave and I loved the damn thing. The inverter to
run it was a HUGE current drain on the batteries. I ran the Diesel when
ever I used the M/W to keep the charge up. I got by with a 50 Amp Gen.
on the Diesel.

When I say used I mean over 5 minutes. To heat soup or morning instant
coffee wasn't a problem.

I made a jumper cable to plug the inverter into the shore power plug.
That way I could use the Electric Percolator on the 110 outlet plugs.
Did make the Cabin smell good.

Another inside cooking source was my Origo Cabin heater. I'd flip the
top grate over and the Pressure Cooker fit nicely as well as a Dutch
oven ( Great for making Ribs) I heated the Cabin, and had a stew going
on those chilly evenings in the Northwest.

Suprised you did not go with this Scotty, Scout.

Hey Scotty,

Your Jib Sheet should bisect the angle of the Clew 50/50 under normal
conditions. As the wind picks up, move it the back to to let top fall
off as you put more of the tension on the foot of the sail. As the wind
gets weaker, you want to move the sheet forward to tighten to leech and
make the sail baggy.

Often, with Auto furling head sail, people reduce sail without moving
the sheet car to maintain this angle relationship.

Proper Jib sheet angle will be felt in the helm, the heeling will be
less and the "Groove" will be wider.
