I will tell you that I have continued talking to folks and asking questions and the people who have the Origos seem very happy with it. Fuel availability in the Caribbean seems to be fairly straight forward in well populated areas (hardware stores) but in more remote locations itThe Ceol Morshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16716515081322012615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5988753353734659816.post-88282887174877086422014-10-12T10:03:21.108-07:002014-10-12T10:03:21.108-07:00How did your Origo 3000 stove work out for you?

Lots of forum posts with snippets here and there, but thats mostly it. Do you mind sharing the details of how the stove has worked out for you, how easy its been to find alcohol for it, would you recommend it?Staceynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5988753353734659816.post-13162141307673705612012-05-18T08:44:17.488-07:002012-05-18T08:44:17.488-07:00I should not have read this post because now I am ...I should not have read this post because now I am going to be dreaming of those refrigerator drawers. I know exactly what you mean about contorting oneself, not to mention bruising the front of the body, when trying to lean way down to the depths of a weirdly shaped refrigerator. I've been grateful just to HAVE a fridge on Moonrise.

Lulu and I removed our Origo 3000 (gimballed, no less) and replaced it with a used CNG-converted-to-propane 2-burner stove with oven.

There is a lot to be said for having a portable unit because once it dies (and it WILL die) we can just easily pull it out to either repair it or chuck the darn thing.

We've been plotting and scheming about how to fit one of the Engel box fridges into the galley of our boat and really it was looking like destruction of the old reefer box. <br /><br />And you know...
