I use my boat for limited coastal cruising in the Channel Islands, CA. My boat is a Dreadnought 32 without a LPG system. Stove prices are comparable but for LPG I would spend $1,000 more for lockers, solenoids etc. I can&#8217;t find any performance or convenience info on these non-pressurized alcohol systems. Can you advise me? <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"answer\">\n<p class=\"Body\">Hi Nathan: It has been 30+ years since we&#8217;ve been shipmates with alcohol. There are several disadvantages. First, these stoves give off a nauseating (to us!) smell. Second, there is the risk of the alcohol spilling and creating a fire (probably in the same risk category as propane gas leaks). Finally, alcohol is difficult and expensive in many areas. But for local cruising, if the odor doesn&#8217;t bother you, it would probably work OK. My suggestion would be to find someone with an alcohol stove and see how it works\/smells. Then you will know first hand. &#8211; Steve<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\" align=\"center\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was wondering if you could help me with information concerning Origo alcohol stoves.
