What are you skippers using for cooking stove on you M-15? Are you using a gimbeled stove? What is the best fuel to use? Thanks Captain James A. Sadler Skipper sailing vessel Pelican M-15
I use a single burner ORIGO alcohol stove on my M17. Which reminds me, I need replacement gaskets. I found a source online and ordered some, but never go them, and now can't find the place I ordered from. West Marine used to sell them but they have been dropped from the catalog. Anybody have a source for these and could send me a couple? On Sep 24, 2007, at 10:54 AM, Jim Sadler wrote:

I still have my original gasket, if you are talking about the circular piece of foam used to cover the fuel canister when not in use. Origo says the gasket is only needed for long-term storage, so I don't use it except for that. I think new ones could be made from thin rubber sheet material. --Gary Hyde 2005 M17 sailboat #637 'Hydeaway 2' We can't change the wind, but we can trim our sails.

I use an Origo alcohol stove. It can't spill and alcohol fires can be put out with water. I mounted it between lugs I attached to the port cabin locker lid in my M14 so it can't slide around. Cooking inside the cabin can be nice on rainy Puget sound. In my M17 I attached it to the underside of the port bow locker lid (again inside the cabin, same locker as the battery). To cook I just turn over the locker lid and there it is. --Gary Hyde 2005 M17 sailboat #637 'Hydeaway 2' We can't change the wind, but we can trim our sails.

I have been using a wide base butane stove for the last 7 yrs and cook in the cockpit or on the cockpit floor. It works great. It heats water in 1/4 time as the alcohol stoves. IThe draw backs is that the butane turns to a solid around 38 degrees F, the fuel is expensive and can be hard to find. I just bought a wide base colman 1 burner which will work far better for the late season cruises with frost in the AM. Only drawback I can see is that it takes up more space when it is being used due to the long connector tube to the propane tank. I never (rarely) ever cook in the cabin and never underway.

this is the cooking stove i use on my M15 - http://www.athenabrands.com/products/maxburton_detail.asp?ID=20 the prices listed on this site are those recommended by the distributor, i found mine for $25 at GI Joe's. the cartridge prices are anywhere from $1.25 to $3.50. i search for sales and stock up when i find a good deal. positives: * when the cartridge is full to 2/3 filled boil time is fast * built in 'sparker' for lighting * can remove the cartridge when the stove is not in use limitations: * not gimbled nor has pot holders * when the cartridge is less that 1/3 full stove output is low * when the cartridge is full the stove will not 'simmer' ... just to much heat (i save my 2/3 empty cartridges for simmering applications). * butane will not function below 38deg * gas stoves on boats ... if you are not careful you can go BOOM the stove in its carry case goes easily into the cockpit locker (both lockers on my M15 are 'cut out' so i have lots of storage). i keep the cartridges in a small bucket that is placed in the cockpit locker. i use the bucket as if a cartridge leaks the bucket will fill with the gas before the cabin/bilge (that is my idea anyhow). better system is to purchase/make a holder that hangs off the stern so any leaking gas stays outside the boat. i cook in the cockpit. if in a calm port i'll put the stove on one cockpit seat and sit on the other. if a sea is up i'll cock on the cockpit floor. i have been in a few situations where i needed to hold the pan on the stove because of a rough anchorage -- the stove is not gimbled nor has pot holders. i would never use this stove when underway. west marine sells a stove that looks 99% the same for $70 - KENYON MARINE Express II Portable Stove i've looked at these and can see no differences besides the shape of the stove. i have found references to 'pot holders' being availble for this stove, and 'suction cup' feet. i've never seen these available (and wonder if they would would on my 'max' as the burner and feet are of the same design as the kenyon). dave scobie M15 #288 - not yet named
