True ... I don't worry about it in my boat, but it is a consideration for people to think about. My little Origo butane stove seems pretty safe to me, but I don't use it that often (and never for heat overnight). I wouldn't trust any kind of combustible heater in a boat while sleeping, but I'm a bit paranoid about CO. I worked for a boiler manufacturer and handled the initial contact of the CO claims, so I have more hesitation than most people! GILASAILR@aol.com wrote:
It is hard to see - lets be vigilant here, but it can also be put out effectively with all that material surrounding the boat. Clean and plentiful fire extinguisher that water is.

but I've heard several sailors say they won't use alcohol because its very hard to see an alcohol flame, and if you spill it, and it can quickly ignite and start a fire in the cabin.
