Much against my preference our new boat was built ''gas free'' and the old fashioned paraffin
stove was installed. Having sorted out the instructions and the early difficulties in getting it lighted and operational I have become a convert.
It might seem a hassle to have to use methylated spirits for two/three minutes before the burners are hot enough to vaporise the pressurised paraffin, but once you get the hang of it, it is really easy. The great thing is the thing works under all (and we''ve already had some bad ones) conditions. It is in fact very quick to heat up water/whatever, and heats up the cabin in an amazing way!
My question is... what recipes do you have for the good old Taylor''s Paraffin
Stove? It is obviously a specialist item ... I''ve tried bread which was OK, but not perfect. Can anyone add their specific suggestions? Thanks.
