Drop in propane cooktop

[seascene]

In the market for this kind of stove ...popular in RVs and cruising/fish boats. Anyone using a good, well made product? Thanks

I had this in my camper. https://www.boatandrvaccessories.com/collections/brand-atwood-cooktops/products/atwood-56494-cooktop

Due to venting and propane exploding, if I wanted a stove i’d go achohol or induction, with an inverter. I have a Wallas which runs in keresone which I like as a heater but slow as a stove.

I did my own install of this unit in my last two boats. It has a smallish foot-print, is simple to install and operate, and looks nice

I mounted the propane canister on the swim step fastened to a bracket—-that satisfies the ABYC standards of any propane leaks going overboard; the downside: it exposes the solenoid shut-off valve to salt water—-I just had to replace mine ( $ 100) as it suffered salt water intrusion and started blowing fuses

This is what the rail-mount (or flange mount etc) propane cannister bracket looks like:



I made a sunbrella shroud for the propane canister and the bracket:

I think it’s a good solid unit…. There’s negative chatter in some of the reviews about rust and tarnishing but I haven’t seen that…. Just make sure you purchase the pot holders that come separate from the unit….stainless bars that adjust to keep cookware in place
