Look for a shipmate from Richmond Ring. They seem to turn up on Ebay occasionally. Had one for our
cruise. My wife turned out some really outstanding
meals like (Lobster Neuberg in Hana Menu Bay, Hiva Oa,
Marquesas, FP} and baked some super banana bread.
The Shipmates were solidly built out of SS, gimbaled well at sea with a little additional lead under the
oven, and both
oven and burners worked well on our two burner stove. The oven was a little problematical as it had one heat setting which was about 350 degrees but that seemed to
work for Faye's baking. Ran the burners full on and adjusted heat with iron diffusers for lower heat. Trying to adjust heat with the knobs seemed to cause the burners to clog up over time. Had to change the burners several times in the first few months of use until we let them burn wide open. After that no more problems for 4 years of live aboard/cruising. That wasn't a Shipmate problem but one with Kerosene burners.
