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?

Denatured alcohol from the hardware store is much cheaper and works just
fine for me. My only concern with alcohol is that I'm told it gets VERY
expensive outside of the US.
