I bought an Origo 3000 stove which fits the space left by the old Princess stove. The Origo is a first class replacement and other than the hurt to my wallet when I bought it I have been very pleased with it. http://tinyurl.com/3rkqpj
For cooking the other essential is the propane grill on the rail. I can't imagine surviving without this. The Canisters live in a 4" PVC pipe mounted to the support of the aft rail. http://tinyurl.com/3wglo Mark Tamblyn 1976 C27 "Josephine" Gloucester Point VA -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Oppenheimer Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2008 12:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: catalina27-talk: Converting Princess stove to Propane 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.
