I paid something less than $25 for a 4 litre jug. Much better deal than the

Denatured alcohol is all I've ever used in the stove on the 38 or the Origo
stove on the 25. About once a year I go to Lowes and buy a gallon can.
And one of these days I'll finally get around to installing the new propane
stove I bought for the 38 a couple of years ago. I'm told it is easier to

In case of a fire caused by over priming or other alcohol fuel caused fire
issues on top of the stove use water (gently poured or misted) to dilute the
alcohol. Alcohol loves water and will absorb it quickly gently putting the
fire out.

I don’t think they add the methanol anymore. Too many people got poisoned.
Instead they add some other chemicals (e.g. pyridine) that has a terrible taste
and has a boiling temperature almost the same as ethanol (so it is close to
impossible to refine it). I think those other chemicals cause the
Good point, I was wondering if the topic was about pressured or non-pressured
alcool stove..
I use an Origo 2 burners stove ( non pressurized ), always used methyl hydrate
( much like the old gas line anti-freeze, before injected engines ). Good
performance and not too expensive ( a gallon cost
Lots of discussions, disagreements, personal opinions on this subject. One
place where camping, backpacking and marine recreation overlap.
Denatured alcohol will work, but is it REALLY the best bargain? How
quickly will it heat your food? What you're looking for is $$/BTU or
heating efficiency
Thanks. I do understand the difference between “white gas” and alcohol. Found
out the hard way when I was a kid. Put Coleman stove fuel in a kerosene
lantern. My dad caught it in time. Just one of those “I can’t believe I didn’t
kill myself moments.

Do not use "stove cooking fuel" if you mean Coleman fuel. That is gasoline. I
know someone who is very lucky. Thought Coleman fuel same as alcohol. Oops.

It's an '81, so 33 years old -- and I need international off-shore
coverage that'll let me single hand. Only one company would even quote
it, for 3K a year for $60k value, and single handing for no more than 24
hours. It just wasn't worth it.

I thought your boat was a late 80's boat? That's too old for physical
damage coverage? I'm a newbie, so please explain, thanks.

Sorry for the late reply - yes, there are some differences with the
symmetrical spinnaker, but the same principles.
First step is to get rid of the pole. As you're coming in on starboard,
trip the pole and fly the chute without it. Mast position keeping a hand
on the guy will help stabilize, but
