We are upgrading to an Origo 3000 from what I believe is the original Princess stove. I was wondering if people have advice in how to mount the new stove. Can we just unscrew the old hangers (what the right term here?),put in shims for the extra 1/2 inch or so needed by the Origo, drill and screw in the old hangers on the new stove. I'm thinking this stove will not rock with the waves because of its deeper square bottom?

Like I say, I'm looking for pointers on how to do this as right as I can given my skill level and the advice I can gather from you folks.

Hi Monty.

I installed an Origo alcohol stove a few months ago after searching high and low for a replacement to our original kerosene stove. As you know the Origo is slightly smaller in width. So I fabricated a support frame using some 1/2" aluminum angle and square tubing. I bolted the gimbals (hangers) from the old stove to the new support frame and fabricated a bolt to lock it in the stationary position. The new frame performs as well as the old gimbaled stove. It took some craftsmanship and patience to fab the new frame but it was worth it. We can enjoy a hot cup of coffee on board again.

I secured mine right to the fiberglass surface. I drilled four holes in the bottom of the stove, in those depressed areas in each corner. I used #10 pan-head SS screws. It's solid. I personally didn't have a need for the gimbled/heat shield cabinet that encased the original alcohol stove. Always remember, measure twice, cut/or drill once.

Hey Monty,

Here's a link to a picture of the installation that I did on Snickerdoodle. It's in the tech tips section. Others as well.

I removed the stove part of the original Princess curtain burner stove and left the stainless steel casing in place. I merely placed my new Origo double burner in the bottom of the case. I do not use the stove while underway so there was no need for the gimbals. I still can put the cutting board which fits on the case on the top.
Works quite well. If I ever learn how to take digital pics and to post them I will. But I am becoming quite anti-technology lately.

We left the basic stainless inlay as is when we removed our old alcohol stove, dropped the Origo two burner in and found that the knob at the center of the inlay had a little latch-type hook on it that mated perfectly with the release latch at the middle of the Origo. No muss, no fuss. Your boat may not have that knob and hook.
