How big is your battery bank? Inverters take a lot of
juice, don't they. I think you'll still want some kind of stove for the cabin, even if it's a one burner propane. Handy when it's cold and/or raining outside. You'll already have bottles along for the Magma. A lot of times when I sail late into the night ( AM) and I'm too tired to 'cook' I'll just warm up a can of soup before hitting the sack But I guess if you have enough battery , a micro will do those things easier and faster. Scotty "Scout" wrote in message . .. Thanks Jeff and Scotty, I actually have the Magma I bought for my Starwind, so I will use a rail grill. I like the idea of the pvc tank storage too. I'm thinking I wouldn't use an oven below (like Scotty) but would make mostly coffee and soup type meals. We typically don't eat too fancy even at home. I'm considering a small microwave since the boat has the AC inverter. Maybe with that and the grill, it'd be enough. Scout "Jeff" wrote in message . .. Scout- I was going to suggest the same thing. We used our old BBQ a lot, and this year I got the Magma II. Its a major improvement, with the hinged lid and lighter. Also, it never once blew out. In fact, it was flawless. The old one was plumbed to the main propane, but I didn't bother with this so far - it too easy to just use the small bottles. The stove below does get used; since we sort of move on board for the summer, and always stay at anchor, so its hard to do a quick b'fast run. Coffee, eggs, & toast down below in the morning, but dinner is on the BBQ. BTW, I don't mind having the propane on board - our tank locker is in the stern, well ventilated, and the solenoid is always turned off immediately. However, if we had simpler needs, I might consider the Origo. Scotty wrote: Hey Scout, sure was nice out this week. Do you have, or plan to get a BBQ? Like a rail mount Force 10, or Magma for the stern rail? I have a propane one and do about 90% of my cooking on it. Highly recommend getting one. I have a CNG, 2 burner stove and oven. Never used the oven. Mostly use the stove for coffee, occasional cooked breakfast or a bowl of soup at night. I carry a one burner Coleman propane stove just in case I run out of CNG on a trip. I store the bottles in the cabin. My slip neighbor mounted a PVC pipe with glued bottom cap and loose top cap on his stern rail and it holds two bottles. Scotty |
