Are you saying that you have had a clammy cabin from burning alcohol?

My experience, based on something like 1,000 meals cooked in a 34 foot
sailboat doesn't support this conclusion.

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.

Chuck, he's just got clammy hands. :-)
