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
