RVs & boats have a lot of things in common, don't they?! =)<br /><br />Anonymous .. thanks for the tips. We realize the stove isn't gimbaled, but as I mentioned in the post, we're okay with that. I plan on purchasing clips from Amazon that keep pots in place. As far as the pot lids .. we have a nesting set that has one lid with grooves on the bottom for fitting on all sizes of the pots .. LOVE it! No problems with the lid staying put! Thanks for following along .. we think Nirvana is looking pretty good too. We are excited about finally cruising after this hurricane season!Ken n Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03930162790282267827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580803911138944660.post-30440810451597042352018-05-14T20:31:22.268-05:002018-05-14T20:31:22.268-05:00Couple of problems here.

How hard/safe will it be to cook a meal after 4 or 5 days in a rolling anchorage? This set up seems OK for a weekender that can pick good weather but for living aboard on the move not so much. Not trying to criticize just giving a few things to think about. Ken should be able to fab up clamps to fit the pots. Use something like 3/8 inch stock and bend to shape. You can wear a thick water proof apron while cooking. We did find a long spring that fit our two pots to keep the lids in place. I put a hook on each end and threaded it through the lid handle. Hooks on the pot lip. A pain to use but the lids remained in place. Have you thought about a solar cooker? These kids liked theirs. <br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lx0O1Lvrrl8<br /><br />You might want to mark your new propane tank. Something that you can ID easily. We went with two of the smaller tanks. They lasted a long time and they were easy to carry in. That way we used one tank while the other was being filled. You cannot always get the tank filled right away. Some places you have to leave it. The boat is looking great. Cannot wait for you to shove off.

Propane makes me nervous too, but we have it in our RV for when we are not hooked up to shore power, and as long as you take proper precautions and do your testing, you should be just fine. We enjoyed our propane cooktop on Logos (our C30) also. Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572905521059358017noreply@blogger.com
