The boat I am looking at does not have a stove. (I thought they all came with one) anyway how hard is it to add a stove, what kind would you add and how much do they cost. I really would like to have one on the boat.

These butane stoves are hot! :wink: 160186543314 plug this item number into ebay for a view.

You can either use this cheap version that you can get online or at a sporting goods store, or seach for the stainless version like they put in the new boats. I would do the former, replace it when it starts to rust.

They run about $15 retail, get a few cans of butane for spares. I imagine the stainless version runs about $100

I have one for the motorhome, we use it for all fried foods outside. That way we don't mess up our coach!

slimjim...mine came with a Glomate GM1000. Its the stainless versionCJBrown mentioned. It fits in the shelf over the galley sink. pull it out to use it. I bet it's less than $100 Coleman probably makes one that fits there as well.

There is a Mircowave over the sink. Will it fit in the shelf to the left of the sink? Thanks CJ and you!

I would probably take this one if I was in need. Nice unit, BTW.

Here's a real nice alternative in SS if you are going to plumb for a propane tank:

BTW, the butane canisters are a buck a piece if you buy a dozen on ebay.

Yes to what CJBrown said.
We have the factory butane stove from GW, works great, lots of btu's,
wife loves it. Also very portable and compact.
Bought a cheap model as a gift for a friend and at works just as well, even came with a carrying case.

It should fit. Sounds like you have a slightly different set up below. Is the shelf about a 4x13 opening? If so it works. Otherwise just stow below. My shelf is stacked over the sink with the micro. You'll love the 265....buy it!
