I'm looking at a J/30 and know the boats well having raced them for years. However, most of my cruising experience on other boats is with LP/propane ranges. I know that the Origo and Hillerange stoves are low pressure alcohol.
I would prefer to do a retrofit of the alcohol with an LP cooktop option. (I've installed LP systems on boats before) I believe Force 10 makes a model that uses LP.
Does anyone have experience with this?
Also - any general opinions re: the alcohol ranges in general?
Any tips/experiences would be much appreciated.
Thanks, - JB

Thanks for the great info. Much appreciated.
Re: the heat: was looking at some of the new Espar units that are *incredibly* small. While I prefer keeping weight low and out of the ends, I'm thinking that a few pounds for heat sounds like a good idea.
thanks again! -JB
