> Not sure I'd want burning things on a boat It is difficult to get much in the way of hot food or even hot coffee on a boat without burning things. What about an electric stove, you ask? Well... that just moves the burning from the stove to the generator, unless you are wealthy enough to own a very large boat with a very large bank of very expensive batteries.

>Not sure I'd want burning things on a boat. it's a lot better now that gasoline engines are (mostly) phased out and diesel is favored. anecdote : my father bought a fairly cheap 28 ft sailboat to restore without a cabin. The cabin had blown off. What happened? Someone lit a gimbal stove without turning on the house fans to rid the cabin of gasoline vapor; the vapor had been accumulating the entirety of the previous night from an improperly vented fuel setup that was venting into the cabin. The man went to light his alcohol gimbal stove upon waking for his morning coffee and was blown to smithereens. Any boat with a gasoline engine will generally have an assortment of accompanying ventilation fans that must be run during operation to avoid explosion; the man hadn't realized that his fuel tank was venting into the cabin, presumably because he became normalized to the smell.

  Yikes, and the big issue cruisers/liveaboards raise as the rationale to electrify w/induction cooktops is getting rid of the source for heavier-than-air propane. Are you sure about that story not being about propane filling the bilge+cabin? It's apparently a common failure mode.
