I replaced the old CNG stove on my 86 model with an Origo 3000. A great stove. We found that we never used the gimble on the old stove. We only use the stove underway in light conditions, so I did not bother with the gimble. With the Origo sitting in the bottom of the insert, I could not reach the release button to open it up for servicing. I cut a piece of 3/4in plywood to fit the bottom of the insert. I attached 1x1 in strips around the outside of the plywood to keep the stove centered in the insert. I gave all the wood a coat of stain and varnish, even though the wood is not really visible with the stove on top. The old cutting board fits nicely over the stove. I did not like the optional pot holders that Origo sells. I got a piece on 1in aluminum angle from Ace Hardware and attached it to the front of the grate to keep pans from sliding off.

I'm looking for a stove to replace my current Hillerange two burner pressurized stove. Sounds like a success story with your Origo 3000. You mentioned that the Origo fit perfectly with the existing stainless insert. Was there any modification at all that you needed to do to the insert to make it fit? Thanks in advance.
