What you have there is a "Sea Swing" by brand, and I am strugging to
remember the actual manufacturer (I half think it was either
Willcox-Crittenden or the foundry that did some alluminum for them).

They have ben out of production for several decades. It was
designed to use canned gellied alchohol as a fuel, but they and
others built the add-on liquid fuel burner that this one has.

A similar idea was the Forespar "Swing Stove" of a while back. It used
those blue butane "Camping Gaz" fuel containers that were, I believe, of
French manufacture. Lighter than the Sea Swing, and probably cheaper as
well. However it too has been out of production for some time.

The Force 10, SeaCook is the model I have for summer use, when I don't want
to use the diesel stove.

Works great, but I'm a bit apprehensive about having those small cylinders
in the cabin all the time.. I take the cylinder off and store it in the
cockpit when I'm not using the stove. I also installed a gas/propane
detector. (see how propane complicates life).

I also refill those small cylinders from my tank on the BBQ. I leave that
cylinder on the rail and only remove it to fill these small cylinders.

All of that said, I really love my SeaCook and I use it more than my diesel
Dickensen (sp?).

yes I have seen those, but I don't like the bottled gas, for all the
usual reasons :-)

the Petromax line of stoves run on darn near anything -- you can even
swap burners and run them on alcohol if petro fuel is unavailable.

the Dickinson [I think] stoves are very nice in cold weather, nice dry
warmth for the whole cabin. in warmer climates I can't imagine using
one. sushi, bread and butter, and salad only? grin

You can usually find old SeaSwing stoves in consignment shops. I believe
Bacons has some. Probably most of the others. Make certain you get the
mounting bracket.

SeaSwing stoves will run on Sterno,but reportedly run much better if you have
the Sterno chimney. The stove will take a Primus burner, either alcohol or
kero.

I found a SeaSwing brand new in an antique store.
