Re: M_Boats: stoves and the big bang

I store it in the dishpan, to protect
other    items from the sharp corners and

keep the stove from getting scratched up.     I remove it for cooking.  But
you

probably could cook with it in    the dishpan.  The lower part doesn't get
hot;

only the grate and top.     It cools enough to be put away in about 5 minutes.

And the Origo never heats up enough to melt the plastic    dishpan?

stoves and the big    bang  Gary,

Actually, I usually cook in the cabin, especially in    the morning when
it's

cool.  It seems more convenient to me, since I    can reach everything I
need,

except the fridge (the cooler lives at the    stern end of the cockpit, under

the tiller), while sitting over the potti.      And I can put things away
as

I'm finished with them.      In hot weather, of course, it's preferable to
use

the    cockpit.

It's more likely that I will need to heat water for coffee    than make dinner.

The fumes are minimal, and flames aren't a problem.     The stove sits over
one

of the bunk lockers, after stowing the    cushion in the forepeak, and my

kitchen box over the other locker.  A    couple of plastic boxes of food
and

equipment live under the cockpit,    reachable only from the cabin, since
both

cockpit lockers on my boat are    the shallow, sealed variety.  It works
for

me.

I've never tried    cooking in any kind of rough conditions.  A stray powerboat

wake    occasionally, but nothing more.

Since I sail alone, I've thought about    permanently removing one cabin

cushion and building a "galley" in it's    place.  Maybe if I had more time
to

spend on the water . .    .

Bill:

Do you cook in the M15 cabin with your Origo or just in    the cockpit?

Thanks.

  Scott,

  While I haven't    actually used one of those Origos, I have seen some
of

  the    other M-boaters using them on the rendezvous' and I agree,    they

  do seem very nice.

  I don't keep my    propane cylinders in the cabin for the very reason you

  cited.     The risk of a leaking valve is very real (just had a leaking
   one

the

  other day) so when I'm not using them, they go in    the wet locker on
my

  17 with a low vent to the atmosphere    through the transom.  If I had
a 15

  I'd probably make the    switch.

  The only thing I've seen about the Origo that I    didn't particularly
care

for

  were the rather sharp edges on    it, but that's pretty minor.

  The burn time you list for a    quart of fuel is very comparable to what
I

get

  with    a

  1# propane    bottle.

  Tod
