I upgraded my Princess stove. I like the alchoal Stove except for the fumes in a closed cabin. The fuel is in extremely wide distribution domestically as well as internationally. Once you know how to use it and maintain the burners, it is a dependable source of dual burner cooking equipment. Over the alchoal burners is a two element electric cooking surface. It is wired to a second dock side power line (one that bypasses the inverter). As luck would have it, I found a Black & Decker wonder appliance. It is a micro wave so it defrosts, and cooks anyghing containing water (liquid or gas but fluid water). It has a cal rod in the top and another in the bottom of the oven. These calrod elements allow me to broil and bake as well as toast (both units operating). The only propane I have on board, is for my Magma barbecues. I have two because I love to cook and in the summer outside is the best choice. They are mounted port and starboard on the aft pulpit. The spare cylinders are in the engine compartment. I have an outboard and the engine access compartment is sealed from the boat and well vented around the overboard opening. anyone wanting additional information and/or pictures, is welcome to contact me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) .

Thanks Tim, and that was one of my real question. Are the small disposable 1 pound (440g) canisters safe when used appropriately? I am stuck in a lake, so emptied a canister during a meal is just not a problem! I was rather envious as the skipper used his modified princess stove and cooked two omelets at a time, one on each burner. Our Catalina fleet http://catfleet69.org/page3.html has monthly day long raft-ups, where we generally all bring pot luck items for dinner. Being able to warm or cook something there would be nice. I am looking at the Force 10 Model 60100 http://www.force10.com/60100.html as another solution and wondering if it will fit and can be connected to a canister.
