Greetings,
Mr. BK. I'm not even going to ask why you have a cooker in the head....
I was surprised by earlier strong negative comments on alcohol stoves. Had them on 2 boats, no problems, no risk of explosive gases.I'm one of the few with an alcohol stove. I'd rate it preferable to electric, but I'd rather have propane if it wasn't so costly to install and certify.
Alcohol stoves can be dangerous if someone doesn't know how to use them, but I don't have a problem with it, other than it doesn't quite give off as much heat as propane.
I also have a portable butane cartridge stove that I use when cooking a big meal, or need a hot flame for a wok or crab pot.
Neither of mine was pressurized. Never seen them here, no experience of them, they sound nasty.In the US, pressurized alcohol stoves were attributed to many fires and burns because of their flare ups and almost invisible flames.

Ski,
We can make coffee on the propane stove ..... ect ect ect. And we use 7gallons of ice when we're away for many days. Guess we really don't need a generator. And that is good. But I admit if we lived in Florida we'd get a gen for the AC. But I would'nt live in a place that was so hostile we'd have to treat the air before it was tollerable.
Over here in our apts and villas we cook with gas and everyone's propane tanks are in the kitchen, not outside. Does anyone have a setup on their boat with the LP tank inside? Judicious use of shut off valves and gas detectors would be prudent of course.
Wow boatpoker, is that a residential blower unit in your boat??
I thought it was a Newfie coffee maker.Not my boat but seeing this kind of stuff is why I love my job
Thats a natural gas furnace running of several 20lb. propane tanks strung together and no the furnace burners were not modified for propane.

I really like the work you are doing on your boat but you know poker, what I find really, REALLY neat is that your daughter is right in there getting her hands dirty with you.boatpoker; said:My boat is a little neater than that.
