Verdana">I have recently removed the Homestrand alcohol stove and decided to use the space it has occupied as storage ala Serendipity. At this point I have made a cover using the original stainless lid backed with a piece of ply planed to fit. I am installing a simple ‘birdhouse 101’ type of box in the area over the drawer (13” x 26” X 7”). The other side is open to the area below. The idea is simple enough but not too efficient. Anyone have ideas for organizing this more efficiently. run: yes"> </SPAN></SPAN>

Hi Mike,
I don't know your cruising habits so hesitate to suggest an idea since the removal of your stove suggests to me that perhaps you're through cooking and no longer will need dishes but maybe that space would make a good area for storing your dishes and serving items leaving the space behind the stove for storing food items. I would suggest putting in a drawer for this purpose by opening up the front of the cupboard and using the commercially available "tracks" to mount the drawer in the cupboard. If you cut it out carefully, the piece of teak veneer you're removing for the drawer opening will become the drawer front. In this way, you can capitalize on the volume of the space which the stove used to occupy but leave the top of the cupboard as 'counter space' (something that's a little lacking in the 27').

Clare,</SPAN>Thanks for the idea. I actually have a set of leftover rails that would fit from a home improvement project. I'm still cooking on board but I use a Sea Cook that is mounted on a bulkhead. I'll take a look at it and if I can make a jig to insure a square cut, might just give that a try.</SPAN>
