Hot Plate Or Bbq On A Sib ?

[The Bass Stalker]

Has anyone found a way of doing this?

When out on a mates fishing boat we have bacon sausages soup etc. Fancy having the same on my sib, quicksilver 430. Saw someone on a yacht doing the same with it hanging outboard of the boat, smelt lovely!

Thought about making a jig with a small flat surface and sides which could house my little camping stove which runs on those little butane bottles.

I fish mostly in an estuary 2 miles wide so doesn't get silly rough and would only go out in winter on the flatter days.

Any thoughts?

Thermos Flask?
if bay is only 2 miles go to the pub for lunch?
Hot things and rubber toobs not the best bed mates, only place to have solid mount is transom, right next to fuel lines!

Yachts have overhang so bbq "bits" fall straight into water.

Get a bigger boat?

Ha ha, nice one, what a great picture. Bigger boat brings all the other problems. Going to pub means you can't fish at same time. Plus can get the wife to cook up whilst I fish, saves going to shore. Was picturing a jig that hung over tube when anchored up and brought in or hinged up when travelling.

A couple of pages into this thread (an interesting read in itself) a 12V microwave gets mentioned...

What about a Cobb? Cobb GB - How it Works The base stays cold while your food gets hot.

I would think a small propane grill would be fine as long as you thermally isolate it from any part of the boat (tube and floor.) Something with short legs (not the little wire stands that are meant for picnic tables) should do, or place it on a short wooden platform or the like. Make sure you allow it to cool before getting it near anything critical (like tubes.) They're cheap which is good as it won't last long in salt air, and reasonably reliable. Not the best grilling experience in the world, but better than nothing.

Why not just Beach the SIB where you want ..AND HAVE A BARBI!?...Or a Fry up...or get a Smoker going??...Tandoor..Pizza Oven.. Or Whatever your Fancy??
We had different SIB's for years,and never even considered cooking on it as it was so easy to Beach and re-launch the thing!
4.3 SIB+COOKER+WATER+CREW IMO=GRIEF!

[The Bass Stalker]

Thanks for suggestions so far. I already do beach all over and cook on the hot plate or have a webber portable bbq or even an open fire on beach but sometimes think it would be nice to fry up some sausages whilst at slack tide whilst not bothering to up anchor. Especially in winter. I thought someone may have made up a jig or something and may have a photo? I like the floating picnic table, lol

Ha ha, I like it. They are funny boats. Is the idea to sleep in it? I suppose I could just make a board as a table which would go on the forward seat. When out in winter I sometimes would like a little extra protection but that would make casting a bit difficult. No windows either, lol

Wouldn't risk in on the boat but a briefcase stove works well.

In cold weather have 2 gas cannisters and rotate. Shake a lot and put inside your coat. Butane doesn't work well when it is cold.

Yes, thats the type of stove I have already. Fairly safe and can always throw overboard if anything goes wrong. I picture a 2 foot ish square table with sides sitting above or beyond the tube half way down the boat thats brought in when on the move. Would work well as a bait board too .

Open flames, portable fuel tanks with vents that invariably allow gasoline to dribble onto the floorboards, gasoline fumes, what could possibly go wrong?

Why not go all out and inflate the tubes with hydrogen?

Chances are you could do this multiple times without incident, but the risk is still significant, the consequences of having something go wrong (esp while on water) are severe.

Even while on land, if I'm handling portable gasoline containers, I wouldn't allow any kind of flame (or hot element, lit cigarette etc...) to come within 20 feet of the container.

ahh yes but he could have a sandwich on his boat and you know how important that is

I have cooked on our 6.4m RIB & it's hard work even when it's absolutely flat calm. We even have a table on the bottle rack that provides a hard stable surface & you still need the limbs of an octopus. Would I cook on a SIB? Nope!

Thanks for responses. Looks like its not the best idea in the world. Don't suppose insurance would like it much either. You just can't beat a nice hot bacon butty when out fishing though. Maybe I'll just have to save that for when out on my mates bigger boats.

I just try to double anchor within a few clicks of a pub and bag me street clothes.

Imagine the insurance claim form.
Melted a hole in the floor of my pvc boat cooking a bacon butty lol!

I carry a small Coleman Dual Fuel stove and a pan.
Unlike butane burners etc the unleaded petrol burner doesn't blow out in the wind.
I go ashore armed with a frying pan and provisions and rustle up a tasty treat and a nice pot of tea.
