i don't suggest using a white gas camp stove.   propane or butane with a wide base.  i have a max burton butane stove that was used on my m15 and now the m17.   on the 15 i would set up the kitchen on one side of the cockpit seats and sit on the other.  if the anchorage was rough i would place the stove on the floor of the cockpit.   be aware that propane and butane gas will settle in the bilge is you have a canister and/or stove leak.     dave scobie M17 #375 - SWEET PEA visit SWEET PEA's www-site: http://www.m17-375.webs.com  --- On Tue, 7/14/09, Chris Smith <chris.r.smith@gmail.com> wrote: Hello all, As the best repository of opinions and good information I know of for 'live-aboard' sailing the M15, I've got a question: I'm setting myself up to take my first weeklong outing to the Apostle Islands in Lake Superior for the first week in August.  Is there any gear that has been the 'Doh! Should have brought that!' oversight in your trips? Any advice for cooking on a M15? I've got a water purifier and am considering which kind of camp stove to get to possibly cook on board...  I think I'll have to opportunity to get on shore and camp, but it'd be nice to be able to sleep and cook aboard.
