We an Origo pressureless alchohol stove on our c&c30-1. I am a big fan. Uses 
cheap Methyl Hydrate from Home Depot. Never a problem. Easy to fill, easy to 
light, no maintenance at all and very safe. It has a deceptively small flame 
but boils water very fast. It has a nice low simmer too, more than good enough 
for my cooked oatmeal. Only downside is that Origos are quite expensive. I hear 
that you can get lucky on ebay when ignorant boat owners who acquire one with a 
new (to them) old boat put them up for sale not knowing what they have. 
Here is a link to the manufacturer. Our model is a gimballed version of the 
3000 model.

Hi Dennis,

So you think I should just give it a try? ?Should I buy from a camping store? 
?Anything that says stove fuel?

I have not read anything about the big box fuel. ?Are you saying to stay away 
or that it should be fine with the big box stuff?

Danny,

The stove on Touch? hadn't been used in 10-15 years. It fired right up. Yours 
may just need cleaning. 

The secret is to use a good, high quality sootless stove fuel. Don't believe 
what you might read about using alcohols bought at a big box store. Pay the 
extra dollar or two for dedicated stove fuel.

I keep a small hand bicycle pump on board to pump the tank to 7-9 psi. I have 
original instruction manual for my Shipmate 3 burner with oven. The burners 
heat up happily. The oven is pathetic. Might make 275F on a hot day in July. 

The Admiral and I are both experienced campers so we're used to such stoves.
