I wish that those Forespar gimbaled stoves were still available. I am in the process now of converting an older version to accept modern propane cylinders. I spent several months on a boat that had one and we used it all the time, mainly for boiling water and making coffee. A good mounting spot is to a 1 by 6 board bolted to the 1/2 bulkhead that forms one side of the galley on most boats.

I like the idea of a gimble system since boats tend to move around beneath the stove, and hot fluids splashing all over the cabin are usually a bit messy and dangerous. This one uses the same propane cannisters as a Magna Grill or Lehr Propane outboard motor and can be purchased at any grocery or hardware store. <https://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=14122> https://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=14122 I used to use a wind proof butane Optimus backpacking stove when I had my C&C 25 and it worked well, but the compressed gas cannisters are no longer available.
