Stove alcohol - how dangerous?
Hmm, generally speaking, water is a major by-product of burning almost
anything combustible in an oxygen atmosphere.

Roger, the non-pressurized alcohol stoves have to be the safest of the
liquid fuel types in terms of the fuel itself.
Two problems with alcohol stoves, even if not pressurized:
1) major by-product of burning alcohol is water, and lots of it. It's a
great
way to make your cabin clammy in a hurry
2) The real problem with all alcohol stoves from a safety standpoint is
that the
flame is almost completely invisible. If somebody doesn't see that as a
significant safety issue, they just aren't thinking clearly.
