We got rid of our alcohol stove many, many years ago. I trimmed the hole in 
the counter top and installed a shelf underneath for storage of pots and 
pans with an oak cutting board as a lid. The storage area is huge and with 
chocks on the shelf we store our portable single-burner butane stove there 
also. The stove we bought works just great and is very efficient. If you 
catch crabs, you can cook in the cockpit. If you go ashore for an A30 soup 
party, you can take the stove to keep your soup warm. If you need an extra 
burner you can use a Sea-Swing kerosene stove as a back up. The stove is 
about $60 and you can see it listed below: Many other A30ers have made this 
switch.

Subject: [Alberg30] Propane Tank installation(Help on stoves too)

I have been discussing with my wife the fact that the old alcohol stove just
doesn't heat like we'd like it to. I have been mulling around the idea of
putting in a propane stove.

With regards to propane storage, I have an external locker with regulator 
but
have no idea where to effectively place it.  I have seen some boats that 
have
the tank mounted on the deck by the mast and others that have an inboard
locker.  What is the best way to add propane to the boat and store the tank?

Also along these lines, I would like to consider 2 types of stoves, 1 that 
is
of a drop in design and one that takes over the countertop location of the 
old
alcohol stove.  Any additional suggestions would be most welcome.

Thanks,
