Peter Pisciotta said: Definitely talking about Force 10 propane stove (no experience with electric).Looking at their website, seems all new Force 10's have "fold-away" oven doors as opposed to a conventional hinge-down door. The door has an articulated hinge and tucks along the floor of the oven, thus covering what would be the burner. To accommodate, Force 10 moved the burner to the back of the oven creating uneven heating. ------------------------------------------------- They apparently have changed their design. The 3-burner Force 10 propane stove we had on Rolling Stone which we purchased in 86 (and sold with the boat this past June) had the oven burner in the middle at the bottom. The door which swings in, didn't interfere. I don't remember hot spots in the oven. We really used our stove a lot, to include the oven spending 3 to 9 months on the boat every summer from 92 to this past June. I wasn't fond of the just the temp gauge for the oven (e.g. no thermostat) but got used to it. We have a Dickinson Pacific diesel stove on our trawler and have managed to bake a cake and cook a chicken in the oven which was a real milestone :>) Regards Robby [robbyr67@comcast.net]
