Baitrunner Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I have never been able to get to grips using a steel so always defer to the workshop and the oil stone. This can also double up as "my time" if I take all the knives with me, a couple of beers (it's thirsty work) and maybe some football on the radio. I don't think 2 minutes with the knife sharpener can compete with the 90 minute workout I get some of the modern kitchen knives also don't like being sharpened!!! I'm not talking proper chefs knives though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I picked up an old steel knife many years back, it had been broken at the tip, so was reshaped into a sharp viking seax and used for cooking in encampments. when we stopped doing reenactments it was moved to the kitchen, it takes a wonderful edge and is used for carving the roast, I dont like modern knives that rely on serrations to do the cutting, and yes I sharpen it with a diamond 'steel', then hone it on a 1200 grit diamond stone.

I admit, I do use one of those cookers on-board, in the cockpit, but be careful: http://www.boatsafetyscheme.org/about-us/news-and-press-releases/news-releases/nr15-005-never-use-lpg-camping-equipment-aboard/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are looking at other single ring hobs / stoves but I would rather not go down the electric road as it would go against the hole idea of cooking on a boat but who knows we may have to go that way . Thanks for your concern I do check every thing over before I use it , it is a great little stove as i'm sure you will agree if you use one I have made a complete dinner on it when I ran out of gas more than once ...

JennyMorgan Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Good morning, Cat, thank you for taking my comment in the spirit in which it was intended. I did have a flare up once when I put in a refill that had a faulty lip but other than that, like you, I haven't had a problem. It doesn't throw out as much heat as another stove that I have but I do find it useful. You've hit the nail on the head, it needs checking and care. I bought mine from Lathams, just a tenner, well pleased but after the safety warning, and one flare up, I wouldn't recommend that others buy one although I do continue to use mine, with care. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowjo Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I've used that type of cooker for camping and used to carry one on the boat with the gas canisters stored in the gas locker, for when we had BBQ's, quite a few years back I had the said flare up, and once had it empty a full canister of gas into the boat and thats the reason I won't have one on board now, for what Cat is doing it's probably Ok as he is not leaving it unattended at any time, but if it was me I'd put a disclaimer on the Videos because it might give people the impression these are perfectly safe to use on a boat, most boat owners know the dangers with them but a newby won't, and now we have gone American and Sue for everything at least you'll be covering yourself against any action,, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
