lee,the gas cook top I have purchased from a local store has a sensor at each burner that if the gas goes out, the gas supply is cut off.
It seems to work under a second... It has a piezo-electric gizmo to light the gas.The Lloyds certification people are quite satisfied with it. they though did remind me to separate the neutral from the ground wire... Which i know to do.

if someone bumps the knobs. We are VERY happy with our new Force 10. On the older model, cleaning the cast iron burner holes with drill bits made the stove top work better. If it is still low heat on the large burner, I suggest making a water column out of clear hose and checking/resetting pressure at the tank regulator to 11" of water.NOTHING will make the oven heat evenly in the old model, but a new burner
with the orfice drilled out was recommended for more heat by Force 10. Clean the old burner holes there too. Lee Haefele ----- Original Message ----- From: "JohnB" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 12, 2011 8:53 PM Subject: Re: [Liveaboard] Stoves
Also interested in a propane stove/oven replacement for a Iroquois MKII. I'm leaning toward an RV stove combo as I think cost will be less and Idon't need gimbals.:-) JohnB s/cat Drumbeat Iroquois MKII On 2/12/2011 7:40 PM, Philip McConnell wrote:We have a pretty ubiquitous Force 10 stove. While functional, it is not a particularly good cooking instrument. We have added Mexican tile to thebottom of the oven which helps with more even heating, but the ovendoesn't get that hot. The stove top is pretty anemic too. It has one 8000BTU burner but the other three are like four or five thousand BTUs.In looking about, Force 10 seems to be what there is. Am I wrong? Doessomeone have a different brand that they like? Has anyone modified a Force 10 to make it a better cooker? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
