Our Mainship Pilot 34 had a small genset and a two burner electric stove. I replaced it with a $300 two burner induction cooktop that works great. It heats stuff at least twice as fast as the conventional cooktop it replaced, because the heat transfer is so much more efficient.

Having said that, we really don't use it much. 90% of our evening meals are cooked on an outdoor grill and if we want to heat up something like beans to go with it, I use the microwave. I do have to run the genset for that, but it only takes 5 minutes. The batteries and inverter could also handle that small AH requirement, but the genset is easy and I often start it about supper time for hot water and battery recharging.


So I don't miss a propane stove at all.
