Hi ya Norm & All, Now, now... Don't bet against the alcohol stoves.
I can't blame ya for your thinking, though, as I don't care for pressurized alcohol stoves either. Sometimes they will leak if not maintained (or used) properly. The problem is making sure they are kept in good shape and away from bubblehead users! LOL Origo came out with a non-pressurized alcohol stove and oven years ago. I have both the stove and oven and have used it for almost three years now. It is fabulous. Simple design: a canister filled with a wick-like material is beneath the otherwise normal looking stove exterior. You turn the knob, it rotates the circular slide on the top of the canister. Light the burner. The slide opens or closes the burner wick as you select burner intensity, so settings on the knobs are very much like any other stove or oven and are quite fascinatingly simple. Nothing to spill, leak or flare-up. It is amazingly simple and the oven runs HOT. I can fry chicken and bake in the Origo oven in the same time I did in my land Viking commerical oven. Who'd a thunk it? Hugs, Charmaine Aboard s/v September Sea "Life's a Gift...
