I only use the alcohol heater while underway or briefly in the evening while at
anchor. When underway there seems to be enough air movement in the cabin to
eliminate condensation. I crack the forward hatch while anchored and don't see
any condensation.
In any case, I will gladly tolerate condensation for a bit of warmth.
I have pressure alcohol stove on Touche'. Same issue. Same fix.
If shore power is available, I have a CruisAir 16,000 BTU AC/heater installed.
It will convert the cabin into a sauna. Comparatively, the Origo is 5100 BTU.
