Something about the cost of milk in Alaska, EBM with a good point, and an article that made me think today…
Yesterday, I came across someone selling a used Sea Cook stove for $575. Considering that the Sea Cook marine stove is just a gimbal with a crappy single burner (the burners rust out) and uses a 1-pound propane bottle for fuel, that’s a whole lot of money for very little.
Over the years, Sea Swings have shown up on a pretty regular basis at flea markets of the nautical sort where they tend to sell for around $50 or so including a kerosene or propane stove. Which, in my estimation, is a pretty fair price.
$575, on the other hand, not so much.
Of course, since Sea Swings are no longer built and getting hard to find, sellers tend to go the greed route and price accordingly. How they sleep at night is a conundrum I just can’t fathom.
So, here’s a simple DIY Sea Cook marine stove alternative that you can cobble together for about $30…
Just like a Sea Cook, only better.
