such an important point because you know

of course with our our youtube channel

we'll get lots of

input on things and one thing that we've

been seeing pop up a lot recently as we

decide on various components of the boat

there's a lot of people suggesting well

why don't you just use induction as your

primary cooking method and it's like

well okay if you're going to use

induction as your primary cooking method

you're actually using diesel as your

primary kicking method the way i see it

well yes and no power

or what are your thoughts well it's

pretty amazing um

so

i've done setups where and this is on

small power boats

you know that are  feet  feet

where

the owners want the benefit of an

induction stove top

and they simply don't have a place to

install a propane

[Music]

oven or stovetop

and even on my own boat i'll give you an

example and i learned that by doing work

on other votes so i have to say thank

you to every single voter who's invited

me on board because that's how basically

i get you know the tips and tricks that

we all learn

from being asked questions or asked to

do something

are the things that i am able eventually

to share with myself and others and i'll

tell you

i've had my propane system on my boat

fail

uh fail because of me uh fail because i

forgot to turn something off

you know

failed because i forgot to fill the tank

or soon i had enough and

you know was too lazy to check all the

time

and sometimes you're far away and

sometimes your backup tank is also empty

and running an induction stove top is

surprising um

you know you can warm up a meal like a

chili or

make eggs

in matter of minutes

a soup

in two three four minutes and that's

where on those boats maya really the

owner is recharging their batteries via

solar panels

so effectively they're using induction

stovetop because they run it for such a

short period of time now you can't make

a feast right like you're not going to

be cooking a turkey

you know or trust right like it's not

going to be the meal of your lifetime

right this is not a feast where you need

an oven multiple burners you're

simmering on slow this is not a three

hour but if you're warming up a meal or

making something relatively simple like

a stir fry

i've set up induction soap tops on a lot

of small power boats

and now i have one on my boat as a

backup

so if i ever lose my propane system

i'm not and again maybe i'll let you

know that's going to resonate with you

i'm like well at least i have that and

then those situations at least it allows

me to warm up a meal because i don't

have a microwave on my boat yeah sounds

like you're not going to have one either

and then i'm like okay well if i lose if

something ever happens with my propane

system which could happen and one year

on my boat it was a solenoid right my

solenoid after a period of time failed

right and you know replacing a solenoid

now i have a spare but at that time i

never thought about having a spare

so you know when it went down

i lost my heating source right so now

that's pretty big now yes i have small

propane tanks for the barbecue outside

and i keep that separate on those little

small ones but still you can't cook

everything on the back of a barbecue

totally no

i love the idea of induction as a backup

we were considering it as the main

source if it could replace

propane or alcohol and there we found it

challenging because we are not simple

cookers um if you do simple meals today

right yes but exactly we cook three

times a day and dinner is uh there's

quite a bit of emphasis on that

we don't have a generator so we scrap

that idea but as a backup absolutely

when we do

power or if we need it then the engine

becomes a generator and i mean you do

have to cook

so my idea is totally valid

yeah and you know what i just did

recently i ended up buying um

uh you can do that now i end up

searching for pans that were both for

gas top and for induction and so all my

pots and pans on my boat are for both so

they're both for induction and for uh

gas so

no problem and now i don't because i

found that the hard way you need to have

an induction

pan or pot that's going to work so i end

up changing that so yeah it's actually

in the power draw is not that bad you

know like at

generally like for example they'll say

it's a  watt or  watt model

they'll have different powers and

they're going to say okay output from

zero to  and you can go in half

increments it's almost like  power

levels

and you're generally able to cook at

five or six like  is insane you know

like max power is crazy yeah and even at

five or six or three out of  or three

out of  in terms of power draw maybe

it's  amps  amps at  volts

amps

but it's the meal is done and or warmed

up in three minutes five minutes

to forget  minutes  minutes is max

so it's a good idea to have it as a

backup

yeah that's what i ended up doing and i

learned that i actually was the same my

i thought it would be too much

but because i got

sort of pushed or encouraged to find a

solution for some voters i ended up

adopting it on my own boat

that's really interesting well because

i've never used induction so i was just

researching it and i saw like  amps

 or watts  watts and i was like

oh that that's not going to work but no

that's a good point you're not using it

at that capacity mostly

i'm never even boiling water

cooking an egg

you know you're cooking an egg at five

or four

because you know it's a very low power

draw you know making toast in the

morning um i've had some owners they'll

they'll you know they'll milk a great

grilled cheese

you know that's a perfect example again

you know

three minutes

no problem battery bank can handle it

again if you're in a place where it's

relatively sunny you don't have that

many loads you're not running your

lights that long you're it's relatively

nice in the summer months not crazy that

you can actually save your propane

and run

your literally a small little induction

stove top

uh power through an ac outlet through an

inverter to your battery bank and

effectively your cooking from the sun

and not heat up the boat i love that

honestly it's i i i'm smiling and it's a

genuine real smile because i'm thinking

about my own boat

and it's

i think that's huge redundancy because

eating let's be important let's be

honest not all meals can be cold

certain meals can i got no problem with

certain meals can and i can even have

some chili cola then i can have cold

soup and i'm going to have a lot of

stuff but not all things are mentioned

no

no

no i actually i really like that idea

i've been thinking about that for a

while as a backup i i don't think it

will work as our primary cooking method

but

as a as a double with with propane i

really like that idea yeah no that's why

i like the idea of backup and i'm still

designing um the best possible propane

system at the moment for example um i'm

i'm trying not to have solenoids um of

course it is then added work and less

luxury of flicking a switch but i will

have to manually turn on and off

but i plan on putting the propane right

next to the bulkhead which accesses to

the galley so i can have uh okay what

are they called yeah you know what i

mean so i can on and off right from

there um without needing
