Anyone know of such an item as a pressurized alcohol stove Same here - carry it as a backup only (with 1 liter plastic bottle of alcohol). Though, short of losing some tiny LPG stove part in sands (happened once with no-name LPG stove), in my conditions of paddling I can imagine only one occasion when it could fail - that is when LPG cylinder becomes empty and if I don't carry a second one. Alcohol is ineffective and therefore bulky fuel, - even in a kayak. Though, it has its advantage in a day-trip; you can fill tiny Trangia burner with 2 oz of alcohol (1 short meal or coffee) and go, without any canisters or cylinders. I think that liquids can hardly be pressurized. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
