Default How about a lively discussion about marine cook stoves

Propane, Lpg, alcohol, diesel. What's the consensus of the sailing
community?

I have had two fires on board with a pressurized alcohol stove. I have
switched to an Origo non-pressurized. It works fine but it is slow. I
wish I had propane.

I have cruised twice on a boat with propane. The safety features were to
switch the gaz off at the tank first until all the propane in the tube
is burnt out, a solenoid switch, the reservoir stored outside and in a
place where it vents overboard.

Have fun
