Re: catalina27-talk: Converting Princess stove to Propane

[Jim Bolt]

I have seen a small refer to fill the spot. My question did they cut  
the support completely out? I am about to do the same thing.

I immediately installed a small microwave for hot drinks in the  
winter and popcorn all year long.  Sandwiches and cold drinks are  
all I have when sailing so I don't need the added danger of propane  
on a boat.  Propane turns a pleasure craft into a floating bomb and  
too many cruisers who chose convenience over safety have learned  
the hard way.

Hey guys,

Maybe I'm missing something here, but my Princess stove was the  
first thing I removed from the boat, converting that hole into a  
nice storage bin, and doing whatever minimal cooking, pardon the  
phrase, on a Coleman propane either on the boat or a local picnic  
table.  AM I breaking the one-design rule ?  If so. I apologize,  
but I ain't going back.

This weekend I did an overnight crew on a friends 1970s vintage C30.
Breakfast and coffee was cooked on the original Princess alcohol stove
which was converted to use a small disposable propane cannister. This
would be perfect for my, maybe once a year, stove usage. BTW, the
converted Princess worked really well and I had a great cup of coffee
and a very tasty omelet.

I talked to my local Westmarine manager today, he remembers that there
was a time when you could get a conversion kit. But does not remember
much else about it.

I have looked on the WWW, but I find that all of the links to a  
possible
conversion discussion are broken.

Does anyone remember anything.
