Is there a single burner stove on the market?

[mickyp168]

Hi
I am trying to source a single burner gimballed stove suitable for a small boat. Searching the internet I have drawn a blank apart from a few home made ones. Obviously I would want it to be properly safe so would prefer not to trust my DIY skills. My boat has been manufactured with a space for a small stove so I am hoping there is one on the market somewhere. Grateful for any advice.
Thanks
Mick

There is one with a small cylinderinside the casing which I like because when not in use the cylinder is disconnected by a lever - simple and safe with no plumbing. Camping Gas have one and there are other brands all using the same cylinder. I made a gimbal that works in one dierection i.e. athwartships.

Here are some ideas http://www.duckworksmagazine.com/12/howto/stoves/index2.html

The single ones with a built in cylinder are quite good, but make sure you buy one with a cut out if the flame goes out.

I'd recommend the Origo as they are easier to gimbal as there is no hose to worry about. Also I consider them much safer as you don't have to carry any gas.

I'm not sure you'll find anything that will just bolt in - you'll need some improvisation somewhere. If you're not confident enough then someone will be happy to sort it out for you.

I gimballed my stove, but to be honest it doesn't get used much - any serious cooking is done once we're moored up. Maybe the odd cuppa under way, but you could just make a flask before you go. Useful for cooking when you 'dry out' unexpectedly and end up at an odd angle, though....

I made mine from some sheet aluminium and a couple of skateboard bearings. You'll need pot clamps as well, and they are eye watering expensive!

The single burner butane gas stoves with the cylinder inside have been banned in parts of Australia. I know that does not apply here but it does raise concerns over the safety of these very popular stoves.

Or use mole grips (patent pending).

It depends on what you want to cook but you can buy / make a gimbal for a Jetboil at sea this would limit you to just heating liquids, but once moored up you could use the more normal pans without the gimbal. They are by far the fastest gas cooker I have ever used at boiling water though eg 2 minutes to boil a liter of water.

I'm waiting for the inevitable "gas is hotter than spirit" thread drift to start any time now.

How about this thread drift to be getting on with ; pan clamps may be a touch pricey but they can be vital for staving off hypothermia or that mid-sail currry or mug of tea or soup, and you only fit them once - still cheaper than antiouling ...

There is a series on youtube...Google "Whitsundays Cooking" where the guy uses a Magnum Piezo Gas Stove Cooker on a camping Gaz cylinder worth looking at for small boat cooking. I'm looking at doing the same on my Jouster 21 and using the gimbal space as a storage space and worktop by adding a cover!!!!
