Origo stove disks
The Origo stove (used) on my boat came with two black plastic disks which
presumably slow down the evaporation of alcohol when the stove is not in use. One now has a hole burned in it (don't ask). How important are these disks? The flaps appear to seal farily tight and I'm wondering if I need them at all, let alone putting them in and taking them out every time I use the stove. Is there a source for replacements? -- Roger Long |

Without these disks the evaporations takes place very fast above 70F and in a week during a hot spell you may loose one gallon of alcohol easy. Like you when my stove was new the black (now blue) plastic disks got damaged because I was too anxious and did not wait until the container cool down. I found that the best think, for 25 years, was to use two ply of aluminum foil to cover the hole on the fuel canister before placing the main cover back on when not in use. When I was ready to use the stove I just remove the aluminum foil. From time to time I would replace the aluminum foil. Should you want to use the original here the part Number.
