Stove area dimensions needed

[Kittiwake]

Hey thanks yukonbob: that looks a lot lighter than our pressure cooker (which we could use instead of water ballast if I kept it under the seat!). Of course it would be better still if they gave those cute ovens away free ... hm, tinfoil ... I wonder.
Cheers.

Coleman actually makes a really cute little folding oven that goes on top of a burner. I haven't seen one in a store for many years but I'm sure they're available online somewhere. Try this link http://www.rei.com/product/736395/colem ... QgodaRK3fg . I bought one when I was a kid with copper/brass sides and it's been running around with me on camping/boating trips for twenty years or more and works great. Folds flat, has a thermometer, etc. It will be a permanent fixture on the 26X that I purchased last week.
On another note, what are you guys using for alcohol in your stoves? Where do you get it from? I'm getting conflicting information on the subject.

I have a neat grille/oven I am considering using if out on the boat for an extended time. It is a Cobb Grill http://www.cobbq.com/. While it does cook with charcoal (use real charcoal like Coyboy Charcoal, not he Kingsford type or it will get clogged with ash), it is made so the outside (except the lid) stays cool to the touch.

Well Dive4it, in an uncharacteristically spendthrift moment of madness, I just bought one of these. Now my wife and I have been debating whether our nice light single-burner World Famous butane stove will be adequate; or whether we will have to take along our much bulkier and heavier conventional double-burner Coleman stove (+ fuel). Over your many years with the oven, have you developed a feel for what kind of heat is needed? We will be primarily using it to heat pre-frozen meals from our cooler, rather than for instance to bake bread.

And by the way, yukonbob, your kitchen looks excellent ... moreover when I first glanced at the photo I honestly assumed you had deliberately added the larger tile for the fine artistic result - much nicer than just all-the-same smaller tiles.

Yes..yes that was what i meant to do...

How did you do the metal-lined insert for the stove?

I am thinking of doing something like that for my single butane burner.

Gave the dimensions to a local metal shop and they had it for me in half an hour or 35 bucks
