I ripped out a pressurized alcohol stove and replaced it with an Origo on my
last boat. I would 2nd Alan’s assessment below. They are great because they
are self-contained, no need for tanks, lines, etc, and almost no risk of fire.
In my case, I made some wooden spacers and was able to bolt it into an existing
gimbal mount. The downside is the lower heat compared to propane, or I assume
CNG. It takes a long time to boil water and things like that. Firewater came
with a complete propane setup that works great. That would be the obvious
choice if the lines are already run, but given the locker requirements it’s not
a small job on most boats.

I have a two-burner Origo non-pressurized alcohol stove. Perfectly safe, works
well for cooking, but you have to buy a French press if you like coffee in the
morning because there aren’t enough BTUs to percolate coffee fast enough, at
least for me.
I use denatured alcohol from Home Depot at a fraction of the cost of “boat
fuel.” Despite the claims of the boat fuel sellers, the generic stuff works
perfectly fine.
If you go this way, it helps to have a propane BBQ on the stern rail for the
occasional meal when you really want that hot flame.

I had CNG on my previous boat. I liked it because of the safety factor. It
was easier, then, to get refills. Not so easy now. If you have easy access to
refills, it's less work to convert from alcohol to CNG, than to propane, as the
CNG canister can be stowed below.

CNG is what we have. Lighter than air. Pretty hard to find places to refill
canister though

Remember that propane is heavier than air. If you install a propane stove, the
propane must be in a compartment that vents (at the bottom) to the outside, or
mount the propane tank outside the cabin. FYI - I just bought a Worthington
aluminum 10 lb tank from Amazon for $130 US. Ordered on Friday; delivered by
US Postal Service on Sunday.

An question from another new C&C 33 MK II owner.
I have been trying to get the original Hillerange two burner pressure alcohol
stove working, and it scares me. One burner lights, flame is blue but not
adjustable. The other sounds like a jet engine and burns about 8" high. Made an
easy decision to scrap this.
Any suggestions about a new stove top would be appreciated
