Yup.I guess my concern is the units age. Is there no maintenance required on these things? Just fill it up and go...

I am looking for Origo parts. Would you like to get yours out of the garage?Hmmm. Most people are removing their alcohol stoves. Ours is in the garage. The PO replaced it with a convection oven since they only cooked in the slip. I'm holding onto the stove for resale value.
Keep in mind this is a Catalina 22 sub forum, and a propane oven on a 22 would be utterly pointless.I had an Origo 2-burner on my 28- foot Hunter. It worked and was ok, but my 32-foot O’Day came with a propane stove with oven.
I would not go back to an alcohol burner, because I like to use the oven. Propane takes a certain amount of care, but keeping the solenoid off when not in use, checking the hose periodically and keeping the tank in a correctly vented locker takes care of it for me.
Being able to bake a pizza, warm sandwiches, etc. in the oven is a huge plus for me. Makes the boat much more “homey”.

I'd really like to reinstall it. I almost have the wife convinced.I am looking for Origo parts. Would you like to get yours out of the garage?
I disagree, but just like anything else, you need to scale it down a bit for the 22. Obviously the stove/oven combo that came with his 36 would be ridiculous on a 22, but that doesn't mean that an oven isn't a possibility. I have been using one of these for 40 years on camping trips. Works fantastic for baking biscuits, cinnamon rolls, cookies, cakes, corn bread, pizzas, etc. It only weighs a couple of pounds and folds flat to 12"x 12" x 1.5"Keep in mind this is a Catalina 22 sub forum, and a propane oven on a 22 would be utterly pointless.
Sorta agree. Though... that coleman unit is not a "propane oven" like I mentions, it is a metal box you stick on top of a stove.I disagree, but just like anything else, you need to scale it down a bit for the 22.

I have one of these as well. Have yet to use it on the boat, but for camping, we have made Garlic bread several times in it, and once you get the temp correct, It works great.I disagree, but just like anything else, you need to scale it down a bit for the 22.

When you say have used one... do you mean you used it on the boat ?
I would not use it under sail, as the pot retainers will not secure it, but at anchor in calm seas , it works good.When you say have used one... do you mean you used it on the boat ?
If so how did you secure it ? I've been looking at ours, thinking along that line, but was concerned about it moving around on the smaller origo burner supports.
I tried it on our Kuuma BBQ but the lid of the BBQ gets in the way of having it correctly centered over the heat.
I may end up buying some metal rod and welding up some kinda holder/mount this summer.
