[Public-list] non-pressurized alcohol stove

One of the first improvements I made on my Alberg was to remove the two
burner pressurized alcohol stove and replace it with a two burner
non-pressurized Origo drop in stove. It was a great improvement - safe
and does the job -= though I can see the value of a Sea Swing for the
use Brian mentions. The drop in model  I purchased (4100 I think) was an
almost perfect fit our the hole left by the previous stove. I understand
that the new model Origo drop in is slightly bigger and will require
some adjustment to make it fit. 

David, 432.

Those Sea Swing stoves are Grrrreat! for heating things up under way.
Happy Holidays to all,
