[alberg30] Cooking Stoves

I just as soon stay away from anything under pressure. Burnt the hairs off
my hand on the old Kenyon pressurized alcohol stove. My wife was afraid of
the thing and I was always the one lightning it because of that. This year I
purchased an Origo after recommendation from some of the folks on this list.
Works great, on alcohol, no pressure, no valves to clean, peace of mind.
