Personally, I think alcohol stoves on a boat are extremely dangerous.
You'll
find that virtually all Marine insurance companies share this view. Don't
believe me? Ask them.

my marine (lower case, capitalized means United States Marine Corps)
insurance
company did not ask at all what kind of stove fuel I had on board. In fact,
they did not care a whit what kind of engine fuel I had on board (I asked if
they did, and they said No). My marine (not capitalized) insurance company
is
a major marine (not capitalized) insurer and part of an extremely large
insurance company, and their rates were less than the clowns at BoatsUS for
greater coverage.

so, just why did westcoast nutter billie utter what he did? Maybe he got
confused by the sun coming up in the east this morning?

Can't even figure out which coat I'm on? I'm not surprised. Meanwhile, ask
any
Marine or marine (whichever blows your skirt up) insurance company for their
history of claims due to alcohol stove "accidents". You haven't done that
yet.
