@neauoire Note to those watching: we're holding it cause the burner isn't bolted onto the platform yet, and it slides out of place when the whole thing tilts :>

So pleased ^_________^...

@neauoire I never thought about how people might avoid their pot spilling on the stove on a boat. I mean, if you'd asked me, I'd probably have gone with a lid or something not unlike this, or just assumed that you only cook in still waters โ€ฆ but that this exists is a fun confirmation of one of these theories ๐Ÿ˜

@uliwitness we tend to find ourselves in pretty violent waters, for extended periods, so being able to cook underway is really nice.

The cast iron cooking black in the bottom shelf works as a sort of weight to keep everything down :)

@neauoire Yeah, I can imagine! Cool build! Thanks for posting the picture.

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?

Devine Lu Linvega

@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! Iโ€™ve also had good luck with those little AA-powered wands for detecting leaks when building things.
