We used a Magma BBQ on the last boat and a gas burner with disposable cartridges as pictured. Reasoning being was that 90% of our cooking is Asian style and done in a wok.

When these start to look manky after about 3 years , just chuck it and get a newie [about $20-00]. You can use it up top on a hot still night and even take it ashore to use.

We have even seen them in boats that cost $300,000+ in banks of 3.

I don't really want gas below in the next one and was never really impressed with metho on my boat 10 years ago, but have heard that now you can get metho burners/ovens that work as good as your home oven.
A byproduct of home brew spirits, the bit we throw away, is metho.

Has anyone had experience with new metho ovens/burners.?
