[Alberg30] Butane - Propane - Alcohol Stoves.

[Brian and Elaine Timmins]

   Does anyone have any experience with the Origo stove with oven?  I had
the two burner built in model on my A30 (but of course not with the oven)
and really liked the nonpressurized alcohol. My current boat has a three
burner with oven, CNG stove which is great except for the refilling of the
CNG tank. (Traffic was horrible today, it took me three hours to get to and
back from the CNG distributor).
   I'm most curious about temperature regulation in the oven.
Thanks,
Brian   ex#497

cooks beautifully with a heat defuser. In previous boats we have had the
pressurized alcohol, kerosene and diesel but like this Origo is better.
