Having just bought our 268....and having not used it hardly at all...YET....I'm curious about the stove on board and its operation.
Of course...the boat is now all wrapped up here in the Great White FREAKIN' North for the winter so I won't be going near the stove now before spring. But I'm wondering about its operation. Of course....it's 110V for shore power.....but....is it alcohol also and operate similar to a Coleman camping stove type thing? Fill a fuel tank underneath....pump up pressure...then light? I haven't even looked underneath it yet.
Many/any here actually use your stove on alcohol? I've heard a number of people mention they don't like using their liquid fuel stove on board. Don't like the idea of having a flame down below I guess.
