Abstract
- This article discusses the use of alcohol stoves on boats and addresses some common misconceptions about them. The Origo stove, a popular type of alcohol stove, is described as simple and unpressurized. The main complaint about these stoves is their low heat output compared to propane stoves. The article provides tips for improving the performance of alcohol stoves, such as using a pot skirt and properly maintaining the fuel reservoir. It also compares the cost of different fuels and suggests alternative options for storing and pouring alcohol fuel. Overall, the article provides practical advice for boat owners using alcohol stoves and emphasizes the importance of safety precautions. [Extracted from the article]
