I just had to extole the virtues of my wonderful Origo oven/stove combo! We just went on a spur of the moment overnighter & I did all sorts of delicious things with that stove. I baked *perfect* cinnamon rolls, made just about the best omelette EVER and browned a yummy loaf of sourdough. If any of you have an old pressurized alcohol stove that flares up or takes forever to pre-heat, get rid of it! Find a used Origo (they're so simple, there's little to break) or buy new & plop it in the same spot. Although I "remodeled" my C27s galley to accomodate the oven, I'm about 90% sure the stovetop would have fit just fine in the old stove's cut out. You won't regret it, cuz you'll actually end up using your stove! LaDonna PS: I love my electric cooler too!
