I am interested in identifying a propane stove that I can install effectively in my 1991 Ericson 38. It was the third E38 built by Pacific Seacraft, and I believe is dimensionally identical to the Ericson 380s that PS built later. It is also virtually identical to some of the later E38s built by Ericson. It has a starboard nav station and head aft of that, so the galley is on the port side, ahead of an aft cabin. I plan to replace the existing CNG cylinder and stove that came with the boat. It has an unused propane tank locker that’s at the stern. There are a few photos that show the galley, current stove, old CNG tank and unused propane locker.
The existing CNG stove is 20 3/4 in. W x 20 3/8 H x 15 3/4 D. This includes a 2 in. D oven handle. It has 1 in. D knobs that are 1 in. away from the outer edge of the oven handle. Available width in the space is 22.00 in., and this is taken up by the gimbals at the moment.
I realize adding a propane tank, stove and all related hardware and safety equipment is expensive, but I have been looking at other options for a long time, and really want to go with propane. One problem I experienced when I looked extensively last year was that virtually all the propane stove suppliers did not provide accurate installation drawings that accounted for the space needed when the stove swivels.
I can provide more information about the specific dimensions of my existing space and stove installation, if someone thinks that would be useful. But I am hoping to find someone that has successfully installed an available propane stove, and provide me with the model number.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jon
