I hope everyone using portable stoves fueled by butane or small propane
canisters is taking the appropriate safety precautions. Both types of stoves
can cause explosions.
The canisters should not be stored inside the boat unless it is an isolated
locker with a drain to the outside.
I keep mine, for a rail grill, in a large pvc pipe tied to the rail with holes
in the bottom for any stray gas to drain. A couple of years ago, a canister
malfunctioned.
I was really happy it was not down below. It would have filled the boat with
propane..

I use the oven often when cruising. There's nothing like waking up the mate
with fresh baked muffins or scones in the morning! Even better when we're under
way!
And pork tenderloins are relatively quick and easy to make. So is pizza. And I
just found a great recipe for small potatoes baked with parmesan cheese and
olive oil--goes great with steak...or the aforementioned pork...and a nice
bottle of Bordeaux. And the broiler is excellent for toasting bagels. And I
can't imagine re-heating Chinese food without an oven.
We don't "camp" aboard when we're cruising. We didn't have an oven and we
missed it on the first Peregrine, a C&C 27 I grew up cruising on.

I'm not sure how much space people are dealing with, but here's what I'm doing:
my boat came with a clunky old (and bulletproof) stainless steel gimbaled
stove/oven combination. Rather than try to get it working, I place one of
those butane units on top of the stove, and voila -- we can make coffee or soup
at sea (which is all we ever use it for).
I have an upgrade in the works. No one I know ever uses an oven, but owners of
newer boats do use microwaves. I may use a microwave, too, but only at the
dock. Force 10 makes (or at least made) a stainless steel gimbaled stove/oven
combination unit, but instead of an oven it has a microwave shelf. (It comes
without the microwave, so finding the right size microwave can be a bit of a
pain.) Once I get it out of the basement and install it on the boat, it will
provide the stove burners that I want using the old propane system (much of
which is also being replaced), and I'll be able to microwave something quickly
while at the dock.
That's my evil plan. We'll see how it works out.

I wish that those Forespar gimbaled stoves were still available. I am in the
process now of converting an older version to accept modern propane cylinders.
I spent several months on a boat that had one and we used it all the time,
mainly for boiling water and making coffee. A good mounting spot is to a 1 by 6
board bolted to the 1/2 bulkhead that forms one side of the galley on most
boats.

Forespar makes a nifty gimbled stove for small boats. I like the idea of a
gimble system since boats tend to move around beneath the stove, and hot fluids
splashing all over the cabin are usually a bit messy and dangerous. This one
uses the same propane cannisters as a Magna Grill or Lehr Propane outboard
motor and can be purchased at any grocery or hardware store.

I used to use a wind proof butane Optimus backpacking stove when I had my C&C
25 and it worked well, but the compressed gas cannisters are no longer
available.
