Pressurized alchohol stoves are about the most dangerous thing I have
ever seen on boats. Unpressurized is supposed to be better. When I
got my boat, I gutted the old Origo pressurized stove and now I drop
cans of sterno down the burner wells to heat coffee. I keep thinking
about making an unpressurized drop-in replacement for the old
pressurized burners but by now ther prob are not enough of these old
units for it to sell well.
You can find designs for unpressurized home-made alchohol stoves for
backpacking. One is made from a coke can and some fiberglass
insulation and I think you could adapt this concept to your burner
wells.
