Was wondering what the view of this stove was - good or bad idea? No plumbing, but canister not in self-draining locker.

Planning to cook in the cockpit with the stove between your knees? I'd check my insurance first. It just might not fall over in the marina, but elsewhere??

Increasingly, on small boats you see 'briefcase-style' cookers, which also don't drain o'board, but do look a lot more stable.

Isn't the tall one what they use on ocean racers to cook their seven different(?) flavours of porridge?
IIRC, both types (if fixed properly) meet BSS regs if they're stored outside when not in use, so presumably fairly safe. You couldn't do a brew at sea with the flat one, though - too much danger of flying kettles!

You would new a few of them to replace the Aga that Jolie Brise had with a half ton of best Welsh anthracite in the fore peak.

Its made to be fixed to a vertical surface so that it swings from the upper bracket.

bad idea.
a gimballed stove with the CG well below the pivit point will develop a pendulum motion at sea.
The old Molcon Primus gimbals, which were rather similar but made of cast iron to accomodate a Primus stove, did not make that mistake.
Nothing new under the sun.
Including marketing.

You will find this kind of stove on any Open 50/60 and on some of the MiniTransats etc. A lot of very good sailors use them. Nomally "gimballed" with shockcord! Though my First Class 8 had a proper frame to take a medium Camping Gaz bottle with a burner screwed on.
I've got one of the flat sort for camping/road trips and it is very good, cheap £10 from Trago Mills. Boils a kettle in about 5 mins. A chum has one on his triamaran. The gas cylinders are easily found and last a surprisingly long time.
