The non-pressurized alcohol stove is safe; in my opinion. I use mine numerous times thoughout the year. Great for cooking a couple of eggs, pasta, vegatables, any late night snack, etc... While it does have an open flame, as long as a pot/pan is over it the flame is covered.

Alcohol Stove

If I were a long distance cruiser and didn't have a generator or inverter with a Microwave then perhaps I would dump my Origo Electric stove for a non pressurized stove or a marine approved propane unit but since I'm not I prefer the electric glass cooktop stove. Actually I hate doing dishes so the Microwave gets the workout.

Bill,
I think an alcohol/electric stove is more important to small crusiers without a genny and away from dockside power. Even though I have a microwave and inverter, I perfer the stovetop over a microwave. Microwaved chicken or hamburgers sounds disgusting. Those with larger boats with a generator will probably not even have an alcohol burner now a days.

We had a 24' sport cruiser and did fine with an alcohol stove and microwave. For chicken, hamburgers, cassaroles and such, cook them at home, refrigerate or freeze them, then heat in the microwave. It worked for us for several years.
On HIGH COTTON we have a three burner propane range with oven and broiler and a microwave.
