Kenyon stove
I am converting my Homestrand from alcohol to propane via the
installation of 10,000 BTU "side burners" from barbeques. Got replacement valves and a regulator from a hardware store, proper rated hoses from a commerical appliance place, and the proper-sized copper hose awaits installation. I will run a connector out via the coaming and hang the 5 lb. tank off the stern rail on a SS hoop with a Y-connector to the nearby Force10. Oh, yeah, I also have an inline solenoid, a remote on/off switch and a gas/propane sniffer for the bilge. Cheaper than a retrofit and I'd have to plumb the thing regardless. R.

I then converted it to kerosene (with burners provided by Kenyon, about $75). That was a waste of money, still needed to use a primer fuel and the stove smoked a lot. The reason I mention the kerosene conversion is the possibility that yours my have been converted. Just smell the tank and you should be able to tell. I ended up giving mine away. It was the Kenyon alchohol and elect. model with the burner in the middle of the electric element. Be careful or upgrade to a safer stove. |
