Default suggestions for a stove?

Jim,

A Coleman stove using Coleman fuel is a PITA to say the least. The
largest part of that PITA is ignition. That preheating in a small arena,
such as a small boat's cabin in DANGEROUS!!! Secondly, a unsecured lit
stove on a heeling boat is DANGEROUS!!!. Thirdly; a Coleman in it's
sheet metal, folding container is more than twice the size it should be
for a boat's cabin and a PITA!!! When not in use it has to be stored. On
a small boat like Scout's, with a inboard Diesel engine; storage space
is at a premium. A Colemen is a PITA!!! Jim, also the fuel storage is a
PITA, as is Alcohol but a PITA as well!!!

After saying all that people still use them on board boats but it's one
of the thing that list high on the "PITA LIST!"
