I have used my Force 10 for two summers for all types of cooking. The
only limitation has been the size of the pan. (As the weather gets cooler, I use my diesel stove or while at the dock, an electric hot plate.) I think the Force 10 is of good quality and very serviceable while at ancbor or while under sail. However here are a couple minor problems I have noted that you might note: 1) The cylinder screws into the bottom of the control valve which is made of cast aluminum. After threading and unthreading the cylinder about 6 times a day, these threads are becoming worn and I expect I will have to replace the whole valve next season.. 2) The control valve doesn't allow the flame to be lowered enough for a low simmer and I end up scorching food somethings. As and alternative, I made a auxilary grate that allows me to raise the pan higher above the flame. (Not recommended when under sail, since this may upset the balance of the stove.) I may attempt to contact Force 10 about these complaints and perhaps if others have the same complaints, they my offer an upgrade. Bottom line-- I think this is a good value for the money, very handy piece of gear. Steve s/v Good Intentions |
