DIY: Making a swinging, gimbaled stove for a sailboat for cheap

[@david.seholm]

Looks like a MacGregor 26M. Would love to see more of it and your modifications!

Brilliant. I have been looking for a stove for my boat for a while and always been put off by the cost. I was half way there making my own when I came across your channel. Luckily we were on the same wavelength and my base is already done now looking for some strong bookends. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@shortwidgets]

Nice..... Real nice. These stoves are very expensive so I appreciate you sharing.

[@claverton]

Thanks, this is really useful for what I'm trying to do with mine. Your solution is nice and simple and easy to build

[@johnkornachuk1352]

Thanks so much for sharing. Great idea. Ordered from two of your links. Couldn't figure out where to put a propane tank on our Contessa 26. This will work great when the boat is heeling. Still working on the stove clamps, as different pots, pans, and kettles come in different sizes.

Great simple idea

[@boatbuilderPortishead]

the best boat stove bang for buck i have ever seen am going to hope there one in UK i can buy

[@christophermartin9598]

Thanks for sharing! I was about to try how to do something like you’ve done! Now I can just copy you

[@randommaker439]

Awesome. I’m glad it was helpful. It really has worked well for me so far and I’ve loved having it all self-contained

[@troycassidy6177]

Cut some triangle gussets and glue them to the outside of the bookends and bench that should stop the sideways movement

[@tomas8592]

That is, what material is the entire system made of?

[@ken2633]

Thank you for sharing. 😁👍

[@tomas8592]

Thanks for your contribution. It is simple but very useful. Hello. I'm Spanish and I don't really understand English. The question is: Where do you buy the material to make the gimble?

[@jacktyler7599]

Amazon for the stove & book ends.

[@bobcook2545]

Good solution but how about the fore/aft movement?

[@stewkingjr]

That is a much smaller problem on a boat. A 20 degree left/right angle is reasonably common on a sailboat, but it would take mighty big waves to do that fore/aft and if it's that rough, perhaps people shouldn't be cooking at that point. But if it really bothers you, you could cook up (pun intended) a similar arrangement for fore/aft. Good luck.

Awesome!!

Where you get the plastic board

[@stewkingjr]

Might be too late, but a big box lumber store, or a plastic cutting board at a big store (W__?) that has housewares/kitchen department.

I thought I recognized the interior of a MacGregor

[@randommaker439]

Yes indeed. Excited for summer - it's almost time to pull off the winter tarp again!
