The key word that keeps getting overlooked in many response to this thread is P R E S S U R I Z E D. Pressurized alcohol stoves are notorious for causing boat and RV fires, which is why insurance companies do not like them, and new boats or RV's d

Interesting discussion on 'stoves'.. which were designed for cooking. However, I will confess that after 8 years, I have used my 2 burner Origo non-pressurized alcohol stove to heat the cabin and make me comfortable while swinging on the mooring than I have used to make coffee. And it is

I am surprised by the complaints about alcohol stove performance. My little one burner non pressurized Electrolux works great! The flame stabilizes very quickly when it warms up. Not much of a problem with handling a reasonable draft and gets my 12-cup percolator perking very quickly. IMO it is

25 years ago, my family had a big party with lobster for twenty people. To cook all that lobster at one time, my father-in-law got all of his boat and camping stoves together in the kitchen and had an impromptu race to boil water to cook the twenty 1.5# lobster. We had a kerosene stove and an al

The process in Canada has been centralized to Ottawa, and now done mostly by website and email. We registered rather than licenced, and our broker (Swans) aware of the process but was not knowledgeable. Transport Canada was pretty good with walking us through the process and answered most of ou

Hi Brad, Do you have a Ship's Registrar nearby? We are a Port of Registry and in the old days (when I did these) each POR had a Ship's Registrar. Ours was very helpful, I still remember her name, Barb. I probably have done five boats with her before she retired. I can imagine with the centra

I would imagine that a fire being fed by a pressured fuel leak of any kind would be difficult to extinguish. Propane is certainly not intrinsically better in that regard, and if it is safer in practice then it must be due to either better engineering, better operator competence, or both. Practic

You already have the straight skinny from others. I loaned my whisker pole to another C&C owner for a race he was doing, and it came back bent. If you decide to part with your whisker pole, let us know where yo are and how long the pole. Some of us would probably be interested in buying it. Ric

There is a reason that although there are plenty of non-pressurized stoves still made, nobody makes pressurized models any longer. They have a bad track record. Companies do not want to be sued for making and selling a product known to be problematic. That is the
