I just bought a 1992 H30. I cleaned this weekend. Under the gimbaled oven, there was a double layer of heavy duty aluminim foil. It was filthy, so I took it out. Underneath that was what appeared to be formica (same stuff as the counters), which showed evidence of being scorched. Part of it was cracked and peeling. So I guess someone added the foil to protect it from further damage/fire??? Anyway, I would like to put something better than aluminum foil. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks!

Congrats
Sherry, Congrats on your purchase! Are you happy you backed away from that 28? Sounds like you probably got more boat with the 30.

Dave, Yes, I love the boat. Very, very pleased. Great decision to not buy the troubled 28. Thanks! Steve, The stove is the Origo 6000.

Sherry: Contact Origo via email. They replaced part of my oven at NO CHARGE after 15 years. Explain the problems and send them a photo if you can. You may be suprised.

heat shield overheating?
I thought about the heat sheild idea - a more permanent version of the alum. foil. But I was concerned that it will just transfer heat?? I just dropped Origo an email. We'll see what they say.

heat shield
Hi sherry Appears your stove is rather close to whats ever under it. If you can't put some more distance under it I would put a large piece of cermanic floor tile there. I can't imagine you doing all this stuff on your boat by yourself. Your my kind of woman! Good Luck. Steve

MY boat project
Steve, The ceramic tile is a good suggestion. I'll see what I can find. I agree -stove is a bit close to the bottom under it, but I think moving it would be a big pain. Yes, this boat is MY project. I'm the sailor in the family. My dear, sweet husband has agreed to help some. He's going to help me replace and re-wire my batteries. But I'm doing and learning everything I can myself. With good friends and this forum, I'm on my way . . . and enjoying the ride

Heat shield
I have no familiarity with the Galley configuration of your 30, but my guess is there is something very wrong if things are getting scorched during the normal use of the oven. I installed an Origo two burner on my '83 Hunter 33 for it's simplicity. It has no oven, nor do we want one. Out boating is East coast during the summer. I don't need to generate even more heat down below. Besides, our feeling is, if we had an oven, and we did use it, and it got dirty, we'd have to sell the boat, cause we don't clean ovens! A piece of ceramic will transfer most of the heat through without being harmed itself. If all else is correct and a heat shield is required, the best way to make one up is to use a layer, about 1/4" to 3/8" of mineral insulating board topped with a sheet of metal. Stainless, alumunum, galvanized, won't make any difference. The insulator board looks a lot like what you think asbestos looks like. I can't remember what it's called, and for the life of me can't remember where to get it. How's that for helpful? My wife's advice? Cold-cuts, hamburgers, and the baked goods aisle of the local market.
