I have a little Electrolux single burner non pressurized alcohol stove and it perks my coffee as fast as my propane stove on the old boat. It is a large percolator (12 cup). I tested it on the bench before I put it back in the boat because it is important to me, too. I was very pleasantly surprised. External propane grill is a must for actually cooking a meal.

Perfectly safe, works well for cooking, but you have to buy a French press if you like coffee in the morning because there aren’t enough BTUs to percolate coffee fast enough, at least for me. I use denatured alcohol from Home Depot at a fraction of the cost of “boat fuel.” Despite the claims of the boat fuel sellers, the generic stuff works perfectly fine. If you go this way, it helps to have a propane BBQ on the stern rail for the occasional meal when you really want that hot flame.

I liked it because of the safety factor. It was easier, then, to get refills. Not so easy now. If you have easy access to refills, it's less work to convert from alcohol to CNG, than to propane, as the CNG canister can be stowed below. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty _____ CNG is what we have. Lighter than air. Pretty hard to find places to refill canister though From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Alan Bergen via CnC-List Sent: Friday, March 06, 2015 11:43 AM To: C&C Photoalbum email list Subject: Re: Stus-List Stove Remember that propane is heavier than air. If you install a propane stove, the propane must be in a compartment that vents (at the bottom) to the outside, or mount the propane tank outside the cabin. FYI - I just bought a Worthington aluminum 10 lb tank from Amazon for $130 US. Ordered on Friday; delivered by US Postal Service on Sunday. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR An question from another new C&C 33 MK II owner. I have been trying to get the original Hillerange two burner pressure alcohol stove working, and it scares me. One burner lights, flame is blue but not adjustable. The other sounds like a jet engine and burns about 8" high. Made an easy decision to scrap this. Any suggestions about a new stove top would be appreciated John from Enterprise _____ _______________________________________________ Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go to the bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com _____ <http://www.avast.com/> Image removed by sender.
