===========================

The Force 10 Seacook (formerly known as a "Sea Swing") is a great
little stove for making coffee, heating soup, or warming up a 1-pot
meal. I used one extensively when I was racing sailboats and never
had a problem with it. Store the propane cylinders outside (and not
in a sail locker).

The force 10 is advertised as having a regulator, not a needle valve. Is
this an Issue?

The valve serves as some form of regulator and the control knob has
several "detents" however the lowest setting is far to hot for "simmer"
and you will end up with scorched food in the bottom of your pan.

There is also a tendency to blacken the exterior bottom. This would be
and indication of a low air to fuel mix/ratio (carborizing flame).

It's still a nice little stove and if these problems were corrected, I
would use it most of the time, even at the dock.
