The reason we went electric is that the Admiral does not want propane. After nearly burning the boat down with pressurized alcohol and retiring that stove, my first choice was a Kenyon dual fuel cooktop (non-pressurized alcohol and electric), then moved towards propane. the Admiral voiced her opinion that she liked neither and wanted to go straight electric. My arguments about not being useable away from shore power were met with the inverter answer. So the sly little dog knows more about this then she lets on I guess.
