We finished up designing and building our new stove. Like everything aboard, we went above and beyond heavy duty.

Stainless steel spacers to keep the shelf steadfast.

Interesting.
Looks like it copes with sideways leaning, but not front/back . Is this typical for yacht stove gimbal? Maybe because it compensates for a steadyish lean when sailing, rather than rough weather?

@bigblen that's typical yeah, I haven't seen many options that are entirely orbital, the main thing is compensating for heeling.

@neauoire looks like a yrvind-rated stove, nicely done :3

It works!
We got this far without testing if the stove itself worked. Testing for leaks in propane fittings is done by putting soapy water at connections and see if bubbles form. Job done, next up: electrical panel.

Gas stove lit up.
Soapy water on connections.

@neauoire Nice! I’ve also had good luck with those little AA-powered wands for detecting leaks when building things.
