<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Hi Lee,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT><FONT size=2>you mentionned you have an
Origo stove. I have a pressurized</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>alcool system which I hate. Cinched off all the hairs on
my</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>right hand trying to light it once. I don't feel safe using
that</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>thing and am interested in replacing it with an Origo
stove.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>A friend of mine (who is a professional chef ) has an Origo
on</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>his boat (a non-A30) and he loves it. I noticed that the
flame</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>coming out of an Origo can be quite high. As long as a
</FONT><FONT size=2>pot or </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>pan is over it, I don't see any problem.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If your A30 is like mine the stove is located on the
starboard</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>edge of the galley counter on starboard, which places the
burners</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>just below the area where the coach roof meets </FONT><FONT
size=2>the deck. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Origo claims to make </FONT><FONT size=2>a flush unit that can
fit in the </FONT><FONT size=2>existing </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>cutout for a pressurized </FONT><FONT size=2>alcool stove.
(Hang in there I'm getting</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>to the point ! )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>So my concern about the Origo is with the height of the
flame</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>and the location of the stove. If I forgot to lower the flame
before</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>removing a pot, is the flame high enough to melt or come
in</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>contact and burn the coach roof / deck join area just above
?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Maybe a protective plate in that area is required ? What has
been</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>your experience with the Origo ? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>With my existing pressurized alcool system, even set at high
the</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>flame is not that high once it is going.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>By the way, found the Origo web site if anyone needs info on
them.</FONT></DIV>
