I think the Origo is perfect for weekending and 2 week vacations. Long term cooking with alcohol is ok but it takes a lot longer to cook, even with a pressurized stove. My wife and I used the pressurized 2 burner Homestrands full time for about 2 years and finally went to kero for the extra BTUs. The BTUs were a lot higher and cooking time reflected it. We used approx 50 gals in 6 months ( I stocked 40 gals for a 6 mos cruise and ran out 4-5 mos later because we baked bread) and less than 10 gals of kero for a second 6 mos trip. The pressurized version alcohol types were very sensitive to fuel quality (we bought 2 and both had the same results). Safety is the best thing I can say about alcohol BUT if you spill alcohol on the counter and it gets lit you may not see the flames immediately like other fuels. They are almost transparent. I had that happen in bright daylight and it was put out with a glass of water. Something to be aware of anyway. While cruising we baked bread every day and it was a task to do with alcohol. A small pressure cooker is THE item to use for an oven on a small boat, especially with alcohol. The fold up Coleman ovens don't come close...not even in the same ballpark for heat retention. Bread was cooked in a coffee can set inside the cooker...leave the pressure valve off and bake it just like at home. Pull it out and it makes sandwich size round bread slices. For cooking fish, put in a little (1/4" deep) water, oil, spices, etc., in the cooker and let it come to a boil. Then drop your filets in and close the lid with pressure on...you can turn the stove off now if only cooking a few small pieces for two. It only takes 2 to 5 minutes to cook. The Optimus Hunter (5000btu) and Hiker (pressurized 10000btu)are great stoves too if you want to use gas or kero in a small clamshell type stove. The Hiker has jets to change out for different fuels. Both are one burner. The Hunter is about the size of a styrofoam fast food hamburger container and the Hiker double that size. Prices are about $70 & $125. I use both for years while packing and kayaking with great results. Sorry for the long message...this is a cool topic and brings back good memories. Regards to all, Bill
