Re: [bolger] Re:kerosene
Both the Toyo Set and the Wallas Stoves are very similar. They would be
my choice for a small sailboat, especially if you needed cabin heat
also. The only drawback to them that I can see is you need power.

Hi Mike,
I had a two burner stove and oven setup on my 26' sailboat. The unit,
made in England (Taylor, I think) worked very well. The kerosene tank
was on the other side of the cabin under a bunk and held about two
gallons under pressure, hand pumped once the tank was filled. It had to
be pumped up every other day as I recall but that was only a matter of
five or six strokes on the pump handle.
The lighting up of the stove consisted of using the denatured alcohol
primer supplied with the stove to put a small amount of the alcohol into
a priming cup under the burner which you wanted to light, lighting off
the alky, and just before it sputtered out, gently cracking open the
burner valve. With a little practice it lit off the burner smoothly and
all proceeded just as if you had a regular gas burning stove.
Opening the burner valve too early was a bad mistake resulting in a
smoking intermittent ignition of the burner which flared up in a very
disturbing way. Once lighted, however , it all worked well and I
wouldn't hesitate to install another one in another boat.
Hope this is useful,
Jim

Stuart,
Makes me think of the joke about the fellow parachuting and
having one hell of a time trying to get his chute to open when
suddenly from down bellow he spots a fellow racing up toward
him.Thinking this odd but willing to give it a chance,he hollers out
to the chap as they fly pass each other,"Do you know anything about
parachutes?!" The other fellow replies,"No!Do you know anything about
camp stoves?!" :-D
Sincerely,
Peter Lenihan,who agrees totally with Stuarts points about
kerosene,from the shores of the mighty St.Lawrence...........

Yes, lots of experience with stoves.
They stink, introduce a lot of humidity to the cabin and if you don't get
them primed enough the first time, trying a second time can be somewhat
exciting.

Hi -
Anybody have person experiences with boat use of pressurized kerosene
stoves? Ovens? Heaters?
Is kerosene as readily available as propane?
Thanks.
