I'm not sure how much space people are dealing with, but here's what I'm
doing: my boat came with a clunky old (and bulletproof) stainless steel
gimbaled stove/oven combination. Rather than try to get it working, I place
one of those butane units on top of the stove, and voila -- we can make
coffee or soup at sea (which is all we ever use it for).
I have an upgrade in the works. No one I know ever uses an oven, but owners
of newer boats do use microwaves. I may use a microwave, too, but only at
the dock. Force 10 makes (or at least made) a stainless steel gimbaled
stove/oven combination unit, but instead of an oven it has a microwave
shelf. (It comes without the microwave, so finding the right size microwave
can be a bit of a pain.) Once I get it out of the basement and install it
on the boat, it will provide the stove burners that I want using the old
propane system (much of which is also being replaced), and I'll be able to
microwave something quickly while at the dock.
That's my evil plan. We'll see how it works out.

I wish that those Forespar gimbaled stoves were still available. I am in the
process now of converting an older version to accept modern propane
cylinders. I spent several months on a boat that had one and we used it all
the time, mainly for boiling water and making coffee. A good mounting spot
is to a 1 by 6 board bolted to the 1/2 bulkhead that forms one side of the
galley on most boats.

Forespar makes a nifty gimbled stove for small boats. I like the idea of a
gimble system since boats tend to move around beneath the stove, and hot
fluids splashing all over the cabin are usually a bit messy and dangerous.
This one uses the same propane cannisters as a Magna Grill or Lehr Propane
outboard motor and can be purchased at any grocery or hardware store.

I used to use a wind proof butane Optimus backpacking stove when I had my
C&C 25 and it worked well, but the compressed gas cannisters are no longer
available.
