My Pearson 365 ketch currently has a pressurized alcohol Kenyon cook
stove. This sucker has got to go!

Propane would probably be the best way to go but finding a place to put
the tank is a major PIA. I don't like hanging things on railings. Looks
crummy and tends to loosen stanchions. And I don't like extra stuff on
deck. Converting a space in a locker to meet all safety requirements
also seems like a PIA.

Also the cost. Tanks, solenoid. pressure regulator, hoses, sniffer,
installation of wiring and hoses, yada yada

Go, I'm also considering Origo alcohol stoves. Non pressurized, no
tank, no hoses or electrical. However, alcohol is expensive and can be
hard to find if doing extended cruising and you don't want to carry too
much on board. Also, alcohol doesn't have the BTU's of propane.

I think you answered your own question: the Origo. It won't be as hot
as a properly-adjusted pressure alcohol or propane stove, but will
suffice for light work.

Personally, we do most of our cooking on the propane grill, getting the
heat out of the cabin. The Magma serves as a high-output single-burner
stove.
