We replaced our alcohol stove 6 years ago with a two burner
Force10 propane stove. It slips in the cut out of the alcohol stove
with minor cutting at the corners. We installed a horizontal
aluminum 20lb. propane tank behind the aft stay bolted to the deck
and aft toe-rail. The regulator, electric shut-off valve and pressure
guage are fastened to the adjacent stanchion with a Y valve for our
Force10 barbeque which is mounted to the rail. We have a gas
sniffer under the stove and one in the bilge. All joints are external
except the one connecting the stove. The gas is feed to the stove
through a one piece hose that runs through a sealed hole in the aft
toe-rail. All chaffe points are protected by running the gas hose
through a plastic pipe. We are very satisfied with the performance
of the system and the stove. If you are interested I can send you
some diagrams and some pictures of the actual setup.
