Cookin' With Gas!

After almost two years without a real stove or oven, we have a working galley again. Three-burner propane Shipmate with oven, found it on Ebay.

A few weeks ago I'd picked up what I thought was a decent oven as part of a swap/salvage deal. Turned out to be very leaky, so I had an expert look at it. All the parts would have had to come from the UK and it would've cost about 3/4 as much as a brand-new one. So, I decided to go shopping.

Found this unit in Sausolito, California, for about 1/3 the cost of an equivalent new unit. It is now installed and temporarily plumber for the little camping bottles. I'm planning to upgrade it to a larger 10- or 20-pound aluminum tank with pressure gauge, regulator, the works. But! It works now! That's our first boat-cooked meal in quite a while: two nice ribeyes (on special) with mushrooms and onions. YUM!
