So if mine is 2470w and has 2 drawers, can I assume that if only one drawer is in use, it's max use would be 1235w?

I'll resurrect this one, as just watching a Jamie Oliver prog on air fryer meals, which made me thought.....we use ours a lot in the house, but it's a big un.....will it be useable on the boat? I'm currently educating the mrs that 2kw kettles, irons, toasters, grills are a no no on the boat, which is fine, we dont use them, but......just discovered our airfryer is 2470w 😯😬. We are having a 5kw inverter and atleast 600Ah Lithium, I'm guessing the air fryer will be nowhere near its max most times, so is it doable? Or shore power only, which for the first year will be 3ish out of 7 days. Or buy a lower powered airfryer. Hopefully someone's gonna pop up and tell me they've got one and it's fine 😁. Ours is the Ninja Foodi dual zone, double drawer AF300UK. Ta.

Would an alternative solution be to have the morse control box set further back, closer to the tiller, with a standard tiller length? Or is there a reason the controls have to be exactly there? Obvs, only if one was speccing a new build.

Ooooo, I want one of those 😁

It was his "please subscribe and I'll keep you up to date on its restoration" at the end of the video, which made me think he had a connection.

What happens re insurance in cases like this? If it was a car it'd be written off and scrapped and you'd get a pay out and sometimes the opportunity to buy it back and fix up yourself. Does this exist with boats? Seems its not the owner making this video, is he fixing it for them, was it not fully insured? Or has he got it as scrap and fixing it up?

Likely to go with https://www.midlandchandlers.co.uk/products/belling-bi702lpgpr-built-in-oven-n654?cid=17612310910&adgpid=&itemid=&targid=&mt=&loc=1006926&ntwk=x&dev=m&dmod=&adp=&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwtqmwBhBVEiwAL-WAYXhyUiw3mZMRSvRv2X6bV5cp3UCH2aIU63RsY4U6ACs0o8WJZfWpARoC9wAQAvD_BwE All gas and largest interior dimensions compared to the other 2 options and its available, which is a bonus. Cheers

Cheers all, pretty much confirmed what I'd found. On the other hand with 1.2kW solar minimum on the roof, 600Ah lithium, 5kW inverter, cruising on average Fri-Mon, marina based the other 3 days, for the first year before ccing...........am I being too precious about electric use, I know there's other variables, but is there a fair chance I could do an electric grill, pretty much only used for toast/cheese on anyway.

No terribly sorry, its mainly Thetford which has been ruled out, but thanks for trying x 😊

🤣🤣🤣 OK, I've done car forums, football forums, even some Facebook groups and this is beating them all for drama. Right, group hug, apologies to @MtB if I came on heavy, apologies on behalf of everyone else who has taken offence via a cooker/oven/hotplate/hob/all in one appliance query, sincerest apologies, can we get back to the original post? Please? Anyone got a suitable cooking appliance other than the one I quoted? Ta.....

Yes I have spent a huge amount of time researching on this forum and there's a lot of useful stuff, but there's also a lot of nit picking pedantry, and condescension to the apparently unwanted noobs, that has to be waded through. Your post didn't go over my head, thanks for your help, I thought I had highlighted my own shortcoming in post 3 and clarified it, apparently not sufficiently, again thanks for your extra clarification.

Correct, as I posted in the 3rd post on this thread.

Problem with the above photo is household full width ovens won't fit in that location, due to their depth and curvature of the boat. We plan on this position, which will enable a wider and deeper oven.

Maybe I should have added, we have a separate 3 ring gas hob, so the oven grill is one of the eye level jobbies, not a freestanding one.

We are looking to have a full size, as in house size, gas cooker and grill on our new build. Seems 99% of full size (non Thetford) ovens, contain an electric grill. It would appear the options are very limited, that being a Belling B1702LPG, which is fine if that's all there is, just wondered if anyone knows of anything else. Thanks

There is a recent vlog, I think it maybe the one where the taller one, the artist/magician ( I forget their names), is filling with another 200+ litres, states that with hindsight they maybe shouldn't have gone electric. Surprised Oakums didn't ask them to edit that out considering they apparently made them an offer they couldn't refuse on this boat build. I'm also surprised they haven't burnt out the bow thruster yet, as the shorter one, who does most of the driving, uses it as his sole method of manouevre.

I spose Aqualine and Collingwood have their place on the water as Bellway and Persimmon do on land......

What about 2 of them, seperate ablutions are the secret to a happy marriage....... I'm not, but there's nowt stopping me from starting on a thread on 'em 😀

I could start a new thread asking about the merits of bow thrusters, even a stern thruster too, in order to take the heat off the OP, I'm thick skinned.

Melton Mowbray o'course. Due to be moored, when we get it, around Foxton Locks ish, which I thought was somewhere near where Matty40s is, or the lock I've seen his boat parked in anyway......now this got very convoluted.

So from a newbie.....who's the (apparently not so) well respected boatyard then, as they appear to be in my neck of the woods?

I've heard anecdotal evidence of Collingwood new build's epoxy peeling off in sheets after 2 years. My new build will be shot blasted to remove mill scale prior to being epoxied, I think it has to be, to get Jotun's full warranty.

Stalker 😀

Diesel, its not Finesse, I aint got millions 😀

I'm generally a confident person, but feel I'm also confident in the limits of my own knowledge currently. I don't want to be over confident with an expensive new boat, that's when something snaps up and bites you. It is
