I'm in the San Diego area and I'm looking for a 2 burner Origo alcohol stove. Please reply here or PM me.
Thanks!

Re: ORIGO ALCOHOL STOVE
I'm redoing the interior of my boat and want one that functions well but also looks really nice.
1) I see scratches but are there any dents or rust?
2) Are all the parts there?

Re: ORIGO ALCOHOL STOVE
When you get one, you might also start looking for spare cans or pot holders or gimbals now because they are disappearing too.

Re: ORIGO ALCOHOL STOVE
I'm kinda paranoid of propane on a boat so I've been cooking with non-pressurized alcohol for about 5 years now. It takes longer to cook stuff, but I really like how simple and safe it is. It's sad to see Origo go down the tubes.

I totally agree! And, for me, the cooking time is just right; in the time it takes to do other stuff, my coffee is ready.

Re: ORIGO ALCOHOL STOVE
Are you aware that you can no longer buy cooking alcohol in California?

Re: ORIGO ALCOHOL STOVE
I just bought a gallon at West Marine yesterday. Pricey though now, now that there is less competition. $21/gallon

Channel Islands harbor, near Oxnard. Where did you get the 5 gallons?

Re: Origo Alcohol Stove
I think Seafit de3natured alcohol is 40% -60% methanyl. Do not breathe fumes.
QWhat is the percentage of ethanol in this product and what the remaining ingredients and what are the percentages of the remaining ingredients?
Asked by mgalyean 4 years ago
Verified Reply - Customer ServiceIt's 30-50% ethyl alcohol and 40-60% methanol.

It was a one time deal from a private party using the Offer Up app. Sunnyside is the brand. They sell the same brand and size on amazon for $77.60. Not sure if they deliver to California though.

Re: Origo Alcohol Stove
For everyone looking for fuel in CA and elsewhere - I've always purchased just plain denatured alcohol from paint stores or the home depot for $20/gal. Is "cooking alcohol" anything different?
