Cooking on a small boat?

[Lucy52]

Does a BSS examiner expect a cup of tea?

No, but the water in Milton Keynes comes under CART and the cookers will fail the BSS.

what, like this?

Yep - that's it.

Surgical Spirit will either have ethanol or isopropanol as the base with methyl salicylate and some denaturing additive to make undrinkable.

Thought de-naturing was to reduce the smell and residues from use ?

Denaturing was to stop people drinking it, Pyridine was the original thing used for methanol.

These are better...

Highlander Folding Grill - Wow Camping

I use one instead of the gas grill because it uses much less gas.

Fully agree the Highlander is great, it works just as well on an Origo.

OK ... not being a spirit cooker person and plain meths ... was not aware.

For people on small boats (ie under23ft) , how do you cook/boil water? Looking at alternatives to my camping stove. Ideally it would Need to be gimbaled, but only requires one hob. Jetboil, compass24 1500 etc is what I am looking at, but both are very pricey...

Hi Jack, I suspect you have the same boat as me. I recognise your name from another group. Interesting that you are looking at the same problem as I am right now. I'm pretty sure that a single burner spirit stove is the best answer for me. I've not yet identified the right one yet but need to do so for fitting this winter. I only light the gas burner if I can move it outside into the cockpit because I've seen first hand what happens to the supplied stove if the canister leaks. Fortunately that event was onshore and not on a boat. At least if it goes wrong in the cockpit it can be dumped overboard pretty quickly. I sit it on the seat on an old fire blanket so it can be jettisoned quickly.

Very desirable for safety to stow the cooker and bottle outside (like in a gas bottle storage compartment drain ed to over board) when not in use. It is the slow leak of gas not detected that builds up in bilges that creates fire works. ol'will
