suggestions for a stove?
I've been keeping up with the Force5 discussion. But, I was wondering
what you folks would do for a cooking appliance, given the space and layout I have. Here's the counterspace I have to work with. http://sports.webshots.com/photo/277...97509592aoEcBp TIA Scout |

You can do that with CNG also, even propane, but you have to have an
external tank and all the requisit stuff. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "katy" wrote in message ... Scout wrote: I've been keeping up with the Force5 discussion.

Here's the counterspace I have to work with. http://sports.webshots.com/photo/277...97509592aoEcBp TIA Scout I use a small single-burner Kenyon butane stove. They're inexpensive and can be stowed easily when not in use. No cutting required. If you want it to be permanently mounted, they sell a kit that will let you attach it to a horizontal surface. Mine is mounted on the reverse side of a cutting board so when not in use the whole thing flips upside down and out of sight. (I did have to make some small modifications to the stove to prevent it from coming apart upside down!) The stove uses small, disposable butane cannisters. There are some safety considerations when using butane (I'm by no means an expert), but there are with almost any stove. I store the cannisters in an outside propane locker and just bring one below when I need it. Two disadvantages: (1) only one burner. (2) the cannisters can sometimes be tricky to get. Most marine stores carry them but I find them much cheaper on ebay. |

Boat sure looks like a quality item, Scout. Thanks Bart. I pressure washed her bottom and topsides tonight; a good bit of the Gulf growth; also some barnacles on the prop and shaft, which scraped off easy enough. Spending some time figuring out the elec and plumbing systems too. Looks like she'll sleep 2 real comfortably, but not more than 2 (and maybe an adolescent). Cold will be here soon; gotta get a winterizing task list together. Then I can figure out that mast raising system. But for now, the Eagles are beating GB! Scout |
