Trying to find one that will fit on the upper or lower level of the galley area.  14" x 8"

Something I can fasten down.  I'm having no luck finding one.  Closest I've come is this:  https://www.amazon.ca/Cascade-Stove-Hickory-Moss-C002/dp/B09HN31PCH
I see lot's of potter pics sporting a nicely fitting stove.  Perhaps the ones in pics are naptha/alcohol?

Thanks.

Have you looked at these?  Butane, not propane but available in various sizes & inexpensive.  The cannisters are the size of a spray paint can, and are cheap if you buy in bulk or at Walmart.  Stoves available all over including Amazon.

I'm currently experimenting with in Indwell Camping Stove with a propane adapter that allows me to use the larger tank. My intent is to mount it in a galley box, with the hose exiting the box to the tank secured to the outside of the box away from the heat. It has four interchangeable feet which can be replace with bolts securing it to the galley box. I haven't actually used it yet, but looks promising, and the spread out flame will heat the thinner stainless steel and aluminum pots and pans more evenly than a conventional burner.You cannot view this attachment.

Thanks for the link.  Have used naptha and propane stoves, never butane.  Looks like may be the way to go.

Ive been using a butane stove for over 15 years on my Compac. It heats water, in my experience, much faster than propane. The canisters are easier to store too. If you look around old hardware stores, you can find deals on them. Last year I purchased 24 Ace brand cans for $1.25 a piece. Buying online is expense as the shipping is considered hazardous.

The only downside I've found is the single burner. Sometimes it would be nice to be able to cook breakfast and make coffee/tea at the same time.

Wolverine, here's a trick that I used for camping:

You heat a pot of water, use it to cook your breakfast, then make your tea, and use what's left to wash up.

Omelet in a bag. I'll have to try that. Breakfast is the only meal I cook fresh on the boat. All others are frozen and boiled. I cook bratwurst, burgers, spaghetti, steaks, etc weeks ahead of a sail, then vacuum seal and freeze them. On the boat I place the bags in a pot of boiling water for about 10 minutes. Burgers and such taste fresh off the grill. Clean up is easy and the hot water is used on the dishes.

Thanks for the suggestions. I already have a vacuum bagger, but the idea of precooking, bagging, and freezing meals didn't occur to me. Most of my camping for the last 20 years has been historical reenactments. Think hardtack, beans, dried beef, and cooking over a campfire for a week. The omelet was for when I was camping with the wife.

I did a revolutionary war reenactment back in the early 80s with the Northwest Territory Alliance. (NWTA) We ate hardtack and pemmican.
