Pull off the temp control knob for the oven. There’s a screw in the centre of the knob shaft that is used to adjust the fuel going to the burner. It’s a small needle jet and quite often these become corroded. Try turning the screw back and forth a few times and it may clean off the needle.
I have never completely removed it. The purpose of this jet is to calibrate the oven temperature. So if you do get it to light, get an oven thermometer, and with some luck you can calibrate the oven to the knob temp.
In other words, if you set it to 350 it actually will be 350. Hello Peter,. I had the exact problem with the stove on our 1981 30C. I read the details from and ordered the tiny orifice piece from them after troubleshooting. It cost more to ship than the part, but it solved the problem.
I took the stove off the boat and hooked it up to a propane tank with a tailpiece that I bought at the hardware store, on a table outside. Don't do this inside your house or without open ventilation. I took the opportunity to really clean out the oven and take it apart a bit while I had it at home.
The hole on the orifice is so small that you really can't clean in out. It turned out that the secondary pilot/igniter was not getting enough fuel to keep it lit, and it would go out before it could open the safety. Follow the directions from Sure Marine. You can test the system with a long lighter on the thermocouple to make sure that the secondary will light by keeping heat on the the tip of the thermocouple.
M712 schnellfeuer airsoft. It is all shown in the pictures. Total invested was about $20 including the tank connection piece. It makes it much easier to get the oven at eye level, off the boat, because the parts are a bit tricky to work on your knees on the boat. Plus, you can really get it clean without making a mess on the boat.

Hi: Had a lovely weekend at anchor in Brakey Bay on Wolfe Is about 12 nm East of Kingston. However, getting the pressurized alcohol stove to work was very troublesome and I don't thonk I did get it to work quite right. The brand was a Hiller.something, sorry I forget exactly the brand name, but I suspect it is original to the boat - 1992 8.2. It would be great if anyone can offer advice on how to work the stove, or e-mail me a manual.
My rafting 'mate' suggested I swap it out for a propane stove, but they are pricey. I's rather get the existing alcohol stove to work. Thanks for your replies. I found a manual online and fiddled again with the stove for a long time.
I agree, this is a fire hazard, especially the left burner and the port window/curtain - not to mention leaks. I still coudn't get it to work propery. I suspect it is in need of a rebuild, because of its age and having not been used in the past several years. I bought a portabe propane stove to use on overnights for now. From what I have read on other forums, non-pressurized alcohol is the way to go, so if I replace the Hillerange, it will likely be with one of them. Anyone gone that route? EmeralLady2, do you still use your pressurized stove?
Back in the 1980's I had a Bayfield 25 with a pressurized alcohol stove. When I got tired of repairing it I bought an Origo, and was quite satisfied. The Aloha 8.2 that I purchased last fall had a pressurized stove, which we never used, but there has been a problem fitting in an Origo in the same space. From what I can tell, my best option is to use the Origo portable stove and build a platform below the countertop for the stove. Our Aloha is 1983 vintage, which could be a bit different than yours. I opt for the safety of alcohol over the convenience of propane. We had a charter boat blow up in Nanaimo last fall because of a propane problem.
I've never had a problem getting sufficient heat out of a non-pressurized alcohol stove. On the contrary, the trick with the Origo that I had was getting a small enough level of heat when trying to simmer something. Propane is safe if proper precautions are followed.
Certainly installing a non-pressurized alcohol is much easier - all that is needed is a suitable mounting. With propane, you need a properly vented propane locker, a remote shut-off switch, and the correct tubing between propane locker and stove. Also, if sailing on salt water, the propane tank should be an aluminum marine tank (spelt $$$$,) though I personally cannot see a problem with an ordinary steel tank IF it is regularly inspected to ensure that there is no rust. Still, insurance may well require the marine tank. HI There, Sounds like it's time for my semi- annual reminder about non-pressurized alcohol stoves, the Origo type. They are great, I would'nt have any other,.
Having said taht there are a few pros and cons that are inportant to note as well as several safety precautions that have proved very valuable. That's useful information. I just bought an Origo stove for Supremacy, she came with a frightening propane setup which included some kind of oxygen bottle and a welding regulator as the tank. That lasted about 15 minutes on the boat after it arrived and was replaced with a pressure alcohol off a C&C (free as I am such an awful scrounger) but I didn't really like the odd flare up it provided, I figure I can replace a lot of things on Supremacy but not the Coffin Top. My next project will be installing the Origo, I ordered a flush mount, I'll take a few pics when I do it. I saw a nice installation on Seahorse, I'll try to do the same.
We've got the Origo non pressurized stovetop on the Tardis, and are happy with it. Spot heating is an issue, but I can live with it. Two comments: - to make it fit, there is a corner cut off of the cover where it's up against the cupboards. Not an issue, but that's what someone did to make it fit. Since I'd never used one before, I removed it from the boat and tried it at home.
Gave me a chance to get familiar with it on my backyard deck (where I could hose it down if things got out of hand) and it was also a great opportunity to give it a scrub. At a minimum, I'd recommend trying equipment like this while you are in a controlled condition (like tied up at a marina) and before you are hungry. Good to hear that there are alcohol stoves better than the one I had on my Catalina 22.
Mine had to be pressurized and had a tiny orfice for filling. The boat was rolling the first time I filled it at anchor, and some alcohol collected in the drip pan below. You know the rest of the story except that it scared me so bad to see flames in the cabin and on my hands that I blew the fire out with my own breath.
The only damage was loss of the hair on the back of my hands and a couple of years off my life. I filled the stove at the dock thereafter. The Hillerange pressurized alcohol stove is a strange and unfamiliar gizmo until you be come familiar with the protocols. I almost freaked out the first time i attempted to use it.
It did flood the bowl beneath the burner and created an unexpected fire-pot. I went online to and discovered the correct protocols for using this stove. In fact, it's supposed to flood. This causes the subsequent liquid to form a gas, which fuels the stove. Read and follow the instructions.
If you are wise, as with all fuels on a boat, you will have contingency plans. In the case of fuel alcohol, this is simple, water sprinkled on any flare-up will kill the fire. I thought about propane and non-pressurized alcohol, and may go that route someday, but in the meantime I'm quite comfortable with my Hillerange.
