Todd,

I used the mini-galley in an AMF2100 and it works well
for hot soup, stew, or other one pot items but
locating it so you can stir the pot in a small boat is
difficult.

I only used it in rough anchorages or for a quick hot
water need (coffee or tea).  I used my two burner camp
stove most of the time.
