For those who still have old pressurized alcohol stoves, they might
consider the following. Remove the stoves innards from the burner
wells.
Now, get on the web and google "Beer can stove" and you will find
several "designs" for unpressurized alcohol backpacking stoves made
from two halves of a beer can nested in such a way that the alcohol
wicks up between them. One could make such from a wider can and put
it down in the burner wells. The advantage is the unpressurized
aspect, no more priming where you nearly set the boat on fire because
you thought the original prime was out before you poured on more
alcohol or otherwise having pressurized alcohol spraying over the
inside of your boat. It will burn cooler though so you wont prepare a
6 course meal. I want to nest more burners inside the first one but
haven done so yet.
