1 YEAR REVIEW - Induction Cooking on a Sailboat - ELECTRICAL BOAT TECH (3 of 7)

Over 1 year ago we dropped propane and went fully electric with an induction stove and electric oven, all powered by Lithium batteries. In this video we do a 1 year review of how it's worked aboard Delos and answer these questions:
How is the induction stove and electric oven working out for us?
Can we exceed the capacity of the batteries and inverter?
What are the benefits and drawbacks of induction cooking on a sailboat?
What are the limits of the system?
How much power does it use?
What is our fallback plan if the system fails?

Brian has all the knowledge but never talks over anyone. Nice guy is seems 👍🏻

[@paymaker11]

Crispin Swainston Harrison oh yes the ask about the stove and brain turns to Karen

[@kirenireves]

confident people don't feel the need to interrupt.

[@thomas5714]

Where've ya been? I'm old, and IF I grow up I'd like to be like Bri. :-)

[@Nerd3927]

There is a strong correlation between not talking over anyone and acquiring knowledge :-)

[@diallogazali7538]

True leader

[@Andrew-ep4kw]

I liked the look on Brian's face when asked the lightning question, pretty much "Yeah, and what if we're torpedoed and sunk, you plan for what you can possibly handle and don't worry about the rest"

[@jannepeltonen2036]

The point about not getting the boat heated is a really good one, never thought about that. I remember being a bit sceptical about the induction system, glad to hear it's been working well!

[@StephenDesRochesTheSailingGuy]

"Boat Bits with Brian" is Breathtaking! A little spice on my weekly SV Delos meal! Love 'em!! Keep 'em coming!

[@pamadams8]

I would love to see a cooking/baking show!...maybe kazza's sticky chocolate cake recipe! And Brady's mexican recipes!

[@jasonnewcombe6899]

I appreciate Brian’s balanced evaluation. “No system is perfect”. 👍🏼

[@sailingavocet]

Very important to remember!

[@KombiLife]

Thank you for making this and sharing it guys, very interesting and useful!

[@jordanworm6923]

I am really loving these extra info videos! This is a lifestyle I would love to eventually live, and having this cool information at hand to get into my head now is really nice.

[@dayvid60van]

An outstanding wealth of knowledge and experience as always Thank you

[@perigeesailboat]

Most interesting topic and one close to my heart. Cooking. Definitely going to investigate an electric oven. Haven't had much success with the gas oven - burnt at the back, raw at the front.

[@thesailingkiwi]

brilliant content Brian and team Delos, thank you

[@lenniedemuth]

These tech videos are great. Info and instruction are clear and useful for future decision and design/build. thanyou guys for all you do to entertain and encourage us on our personal adventures. Many thumbs up!!!!!!

[@MrHillhorn]

Thank you for the follow up- i have been wondering how the induction cooktop has been working for you. Also appreciate the discussion of redundancies! Keep ‘em coming. Nothing beats actual cruising experience for testing these ideas!

[@SailingKaruna]

Thank you for reviewing induction. I'm thinking of going that route, so this was very helpful. Please keep up reviews on all your systems and equipment. I find it immensely valuable.

[@petertorrey236]

Delos..always staying true to the boat..the adventure and the crew. Towing the line to what made them so compelling from the get-go. You are a business.. but..you continue to love sailing and the adventure. It shows and I thank you for the enjoyable episodes !

[@GPSJayDog22]

These are awesome Q&As. Thank you for taking the time to tell us what you are experiencing in real life. These videos really do give us ideas of what we can do as well. Cheers, Jay

[@kinglerxstbtpc]

Have been interested in this idea for tiny home application! Thank you for the experienced follow up and details on your adaptation to it!

[@ZachD555]

These videos are so awesome. Thank you Brian and crew!

[@EricEpstein]

Just as good as the other two. I like your level of detail and how you refer to your own experience vs. repeating industry specs.

[@janineleach1532]

Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself

[@JoannaisHere1]

Best week ever! Three delos videos in a row! ⛵️ On important subjects if I may add

[@fincaelmoro1869]

Boat bits with Brian, absolutely stand out and its why Delos is by far and away the best and most complete sailing channel, there are only so many sunrises and sunsets we can gawp at and go “awwwwwww” !!! Keep ‘em coming.

[@juhosattanen]

loving this mini-series

[@LeighLino]

Doing great. Love the information you're sharing. Thanks.

[@PedroPabloSerrano]

I'm learning a lot. Please keep doing this type of videos. Your knowledge is based on experience and that's the most amazing and valuable thing about this!!

[@DLO1158]

We are seriously considering adding a induction cooktop. Thanks for giving this update.

[@wmmorsch]

Absolutely loving this series!

[@porsche205mph]

Love what you guys do. More videos on your SV systems the better! It appears the consensus in the comments is that we like to know how stuff works and learn from you guys. Keep it coming and happy sailing from Texas!

[@txhypnotist]

Great #3 video. Glad you are going into such details. It will make others consider there plans prior to setting up a boat. Mapping out everything will be so helpful for future sailors.

[@seashepherds4959]

My Favourite Sailors and so happy I found you all. On bad days-You are my joy. I hope it gives you joy.

[@charlescrain4265]

Love the video. Always enjoy learning how things are setup on Delos.

[@chrstark]

Keep it coming...these are super useful.

[@robertbeger4275]

You guys are still my Number 1 sailing site. Besides the entertainment, adventure, and beautiful visuals, Brian's knowledge especially of the boat and her systems is rock solid and has definitely helped my understanding of the electrical systems. Doing your own re-rigging before the Indian Ocean was will always stand out as an amazing educational experience. Delos is still the best boat layout I've ever seen. Cockpit, galley, salon, engine compartment. Haven't seen better yet. Keep up the good work!

[@ShaneJMcNair]

You guys are incredible... Prepare, Prepare, Prepare then being able to mechanically improvise when needed. Thank you for sharing

[@lktopview]

Love the tech episodes! I’ve learned a bunch about solar power systems( y’all make it simple). We already use induction cooktops so maybe a convection oven will be in our future! Thank you for teaching us and letting us vicariously through your adventures.

[@jderrida69]

You are doing a great job with these tech videos. You have a wonderful ability to explain sometimes complex things, without making them complicated. Thanks for the knowledge !!!!!

[@ahmetsezai]

Brian, you are on the right track, keep going like this! Cheers!

[@peterfrebold]

.... your comment about heat from a gas stove .... always wondered why cruisers did not set up an outside cooking station to keep the heat out of the galley, cabin .... found this quite interesting and liked that you compared the convection to gas oven .... like the Idea of having a generator for backup ..... you have mentioned before about going electric before, which from limited reading think that this is the way to go. There are those out there that go solely electric, I would only do it if there was a backup generator that if in dire need would be your backup .... electric is right there, no messing getting an engine started .... great video .... have fun be safe, save our oceans .....

[@ChristopherYoung5977]

Great video! I pretty much cook everything with an induction cooktop and pressure cooker when I'm hooked up to shore power. You are inspiring me to get lithium batteries and a more substantial inverter so I can do this when cruising.

[@ericjohnson1322]

Love these informative videos! Thanks!

[@franchu1]

We have induction at home and you guys are on spot with the learning curve we experienced. We are also converting to lithium on our boat and we are looking at this option for our cooking.

[@Crispkingguy]

Very valuable conversation! Thank You

[@luisroebuck4354]

always learning from you guys, keep having fun

[@mayflowerlash11]

Delos is a lesson in how to be seriously responsible and still have fun occasionally. Brian is the man, he is an entrepreneur, who chucked in the treadmill to go sailing but did it responsibly. He talked his younger bro into going along and in the process Brady matured a great deal. They get to New Zealand and Brian spots Kazza. He knows a good thing when he stumbles over it. The rest as they say is history. Theirs is a well balanced exemplar of how to do life. It's a privilege to have an insight into their journey.

[@msullivan405]

Great video! Thanks so much for sharing. Stay happy and safe.

[@nancykisser]

Great info! Love you all!

[@glassman51]

Hey Delostribe, And Brian in particular, I really like the tech video series. You have done some really innovative upgrades, many

[@joshs199]

Great video...I have been waiting for Brian to start releasing this really interesting footage they have been working on for along time. Keep up the good work. And Many blessings.

[@dtonvista]

Really the boat bits videos are great, please keep more coming, it is great that you all take part in the video also.

[@charlesjarmanii]

I'm loving the new formats!

[@richardmorholt1175]

Learning a lot, Brian. Keep them coming buddy! Thanks, keep the dry stuff up🙃👍

[@MrAnnadrew]

loving these extra info videos

[@jdavis2962]

love the new segment, boat bits with Brian! Keep em coming!

[@geoffreybrown4618]

Thank you. I believe these videos will bring me one step closer to my dreams of cruising.

[@joeltatham5673]

These really rock guys, thanks very much.

[@brianb6603]

Excellent as usual!!!

[@Adhdroamer]

Given me something to think about for my boat thank you so much

[@invicta4165]

Excellent video. No marketing b/s, just the facts as they see them. Still the best sailing channel on KZbin.

[@HopeOfJoe]

Always like the vlogs and topics. This one was especially good as it solidified my going all-electric on our boat when purchased !! Thee tip of a camping stove or extra plug-in convection stove was nice !!

[@danmacdonald1198]

my life seemed down and out six yrs ago but through all my shit ,your the only thing that has leaveld me out . You brought me up in DARK TIMES, then let me know there is a light at the end.I just hope you know how important you are all too us! THANK YOU! don't ever let it end! (I cant spell ,sorry) you all give hope

[@georgeisahuman]

Thanks Breeyawn, these videos are outstanding.

[@montyscooter1965]

Yet again s great video! I'm loving the infomational videos just as much as the adventure ones. They certainly show how much you've learnt from equipment and system failures in the past. The propane problems you had previously were so damned annoying that I'd have chucked the damn thing over the side. But as usual you guys figured out a solution.

[@tetraskele9621]

Thanks for the Induction Stovetop follow-up!

[@jhacker5165]

sailing goals.... having induction cooking and baking!

[@jackvisser]

TY for the Excellent Videos

[@mickeykeymoaw]

Great info ...Love the technical stuff...Thanks.

[@lizrach4159]

Enjoyed the detail. Thx

[@jbench3947]

Loving this series team!

[@markroman8149]

What a great idea. Something to consider. Good comment about propane stoves making the cabin hot and the convection oven/stove doesn’t

[@magsnabbie]

Love everything you are doing!

[@andrewsymons5871]

Cool info guys, thanks a lot.

[@jasonmalone6983]

Thanks for the video!

[@ZestyT]

Always a great video, Keep up the hard work guys!!!

[@MiQBohlin]

Excellent, this was what I was asking for some months ago. Clever to let the inverter set the limits. ☝🏽 Which leads to the calculation of what inverter to use and for what.

[@beaudwayful]

Another great Tech video!

[@mikecunliffe5201]

awesome series Brian and crew

[@Chris-dp3rp]

Great jobs guys I was really waiting for this topic

[@mammacatta]

We got induction in our house like 10 years ago. It took quite a while, with lots of burned food, to get used to it. It is just SO different and A LOT faster than anything else. But now I cant imagine going back to the old hotstove. We even have a propande-burner right next to it but the induction is so good we never use it. When (5 years from now) we buy a boat, we are SO going full electric. I love my induction-stove!

[@josephbuys]

I love these more technical bits by Brian and Crew. Great info and keeps it 'real'!

[@svdelos]

Joe Buys! Miss you buddy. Next time we swing through whiskey is on me :)

[@volkanvolkan3664]

You guys are doing a great job!

[@scottstevison1593]

Love your channel, I wished I would have got into sailing in my younger days and I would have been doing what you are

[@danahawthorne1633]

Thanks for the info. Was just investigating the idea of induction on Swift.

[@jonkenny2654]

Great informative video !!

[@donwilson1061]

on the right track! thanks!!

[@dgoatranch]

Awesome. Love these tech videos!

[@johnboylong40]

Sailing Emerald Steel stopped using the oven. It ran a long time and used a lot of gas and cooked them out in the galley. Good info as usual guys.

[@AwakeInAnacortes]

Thanks for another informative video!

[@professormoptop]

Love it. Currently going induction on our newly built boat

[@mgs8747]

You are on the right track.

[@tomkolmer9941]

Very informative. Very nice

[@BarracudaHawk]

Brilliant Guys , very very useful thank you

[@CaptainPetrolburner]

I love these kind of videos.

[@JC-di4uz]

Brian, Brady Karin and every one else involved, I like all your videos. Brian's the best at narration gotta voice for radio as they say. And the entire crew is great. Love the voice over stuff too like when u were at dry Tortuga that was an amazing video I've been there several times so I had heard it all before like 10 times but again with Brian and Karin narrating I was glued. Long way of saying u guys are great and I'm so thankful I stumbled across you guys and gals on KZbin.

[@frankd2301]

I find this series very interesting and informative 👍

[@lisadungey6257]

This was awesome thank you

[@brunsonr]

On the right track? Yes!

[@David-ys9dr]

Really enjoy the technical maintenance videos, keep them coming. Have followed your sailing adventures, my dream, since you left Mexico and crossed the Pacific. Paraplegia keeps me on shore, look forward to Friday for my next adventure.

[@svdelos]

Sending you a lot of love and good vibes David, thank you for watching our videos for so long! It's been a bit of a ride hasn't it? Fair winds- Brian

[@noelligh]

Great thanks I was waiting for this x.

[@danellerbe1521]

I love it guys!

[@thequietrebel7695]

These real-world “how to” sailing tech vids are awesome!

[@OrlandoPaco]

Yes! On the right track! Thank you cap'm!
