[Public-list] non-pressurized alcohol stove

Though they're not as hot as pressurized stoves

I'm not sure about that.
I find our Origo drop in boils water faster then the old Kenyon-not even 
counting time priming, sometime spectacular flare ups, etc., but that may be 
due to the larger flame surface.  That heat distribution makes for  better 
real world cooking anyway.

Beats me how you are going to install a gimbaled stove in an Alberg without 
seriously compromising cabin space. By the time you allow space for the 
gimbel mechanism, you might as well get one with an oven too, and lose the 
STBD berth. Are you really planning on doing a lot of at sea, underway 
cooking? A good compromise has been mentioned here before, the Sea Swing 
propane cartridge jobby-screw it into the bulkhead and you have water for 
hot tea.

I have had enough meals at sea to know I am  comfortable with cheese and 
crackers until I get to a place where the horizon stays steady, but that's 
me  :)
