Dual cooker..as the English call them
 
I'd like to find a stove top (don't need an oven) which
would run on either propane or shore power. Short of
making my own, are there such units available? Google
doesn't admit to any.
Thanks...Norm B

Force 10 makes them, as do a lot of other marine stove makers.

I've never seen such a thing from Force 10. Where did you see
one? Their website doesn't mention it.

I never heard of such. I can't imagine it would ever pay for itself.
We spend about $3 to refill our propane tank each season.

Oops. I thought he meant propane OR electricity. I agree it makes little
sense to want both given the low cost and convenience of propane.

I'm the OP refered to below. My reason for wanting a dual stove
is this....
My crusing area has lots of neat anchorages...therefore I
need propane. The are also lot's of neat little marinas which
provide shore power, but the propane facilities may be miles
away. In that case, I'd rather save propane, and use electricity
for heat (only to take the morning chill off) and cooking.

Why not buy a small electric hot plate. Stash it in a locker when
you're not on shore power. Same for heat -- use a small electric
heater. (I use an electric heater with fan on my CT-41 when at my
home dock. Works great, but we have flat-rate monthly power which
helps a lot.)

I thought of the hot plate too, except a google search didn't reveal
a source for them. For heating, I do as you do. I have a little "cube"
of about 1,000 Watts...really throws the heat.
