Default How about a lively discussion about marine cook stoves

I'll second that about the Origo. With the burners filled in the cockpit, I
can't think of anything safer.

Expensive, yes. Two gallon bottles came with the boat so it was a real
shock when I finished them. I'm wondering if cheap Scotch would burn in it
as it should be much cheaper.

Anyone know if stove fuel alcohol is the same stuff used medically? Back
when I was flying, my vet flying buddy used to pour gallons of alcohol from
his animal clinic on the wings to deice them. At that price, this would be
cheap fuel. I'm sure there is a cheaper way to feed these stoves than the
stuff from a marine supply store.

Has anyone experimented with alternate fuels for the Origo?
