New Cooker

[doris]

Rather than re-invent the wheel I’m asking for advice over a probable gas cooker replacement. I currently have a very tired Eno.
Will probably get a new replacement soon. Would like a separate grill which probably rules out the European manufacturers.
Has anyone already done the homework as to the best two burner, oven and grill for a sail boat?

I found the Eno ( can't remember the model but it had a wooden handle for the oven door) to be a very compromise between the bottom and top end of the market.

I don't think they still make them but my Nelson Spinflow, two burners, decent oven and seperate grill is still going strong with very little deterioration after 17 years, they were bought by Thetford in the 2000's apparently, otherwise it's Voyager or if you're rich SMEV it seems...

Depends on how you define "best". As you say most European cookers tend not to have grills, but some do, such as Techimpex. European cookers also tend to be wider so the space may be an issue both width and height as a grill usually adds to height. The choice of UK style cookers has shrunk reflecting the falling demand with no new boatbuilding. The choice now is Voyager/Neptune 4500 which is Leisure Products and essentially the old Plastimo or Dometic. Not a lot to choose between them

Good Lord I have just looked at the prices of ENO cookers , it was the Gascogne that I bought, I am absolutely positive I paid nowhere near the €1140 it's priced at now. Good cooker though.

Yes, prices have shot up. For years the UK made cookers were retailing in the £4-500 range and often "special offers". Now, not only has the range of choices disappeared, but prices have jumped to around £700.

After having a variety of the standard cookers which were all inadequate in some respect, I bit the bullet , and got a Force 10.

Pricey, but it is easy to live with, cooks well, and is doddle to keep clean.

If you are going to spend that kind of money (and I don't think that cooker is CE approved and available in Europe or UK) then how about this marinechandlery.com/gn-espace-levante-3-burner-oven-cooker or if you really want the best, this blakesandtaylors.co.uk/030l-leviathan-250-p.asp

Nelson Spinflo is a good cooker, I fitted one to my last boat and it worked very well. It was still being made a few years back when I wanted to change the cooker on my existing boat, but I could not purchase one as the appointed distributors were refusing to stock them! Dont know what the situation is now.

Go and look in your local retail outlet that services caravan and motor home owners. You may need to devise your own gimbals.
