Stove Recommendations

Just starting fixing up a 1985 Catalina 25. Would like to accompany work with a cup of coffee. Hab a small fire with a stove on a previous boat. Don't want to deal with that again.

You don't say what your situation is but if you have mains (marina) electric power then there a number of small benchtop stoves that may suit.

Or if you have a generator then I saw a 500W stove on ebay that may work. Despite the numbers matching I found a 1600W generator won't run a 1600W stove on even half power (Don't ask how I know...).

Other than that there are small camping stoves that could be used in the cockpit.

I have an old gimbled single burner stove that wall mounts. It works great mounted near the deck access. Will cook a pot of coffee in nothing flat ! Im sure they are still around, I think they were bilt in England?? Maybe. Mines in storage right now till we get a new boat, then it will go with us !!

Used one of these for years including a sail to Hawaii. Vintage Boat Stove Gimbaled Bremer Sea Swing w Brass Stove Sweden | eBay
This one looks kind of grody but it's an example of the type. Make great stoves for cooking in extreme conditions as they gimble very well.

Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions. This forum is great. I will be back with many questions. Thanks for sharing your experience.

If you have AC power, any household coffeemaker will work.
