Safety, quality, efficiency and portability are the main reasons for the continued popularity of the Origo 1500 one-burner and the 3000 two-burner alcohol stoves. To use the stoves, the boater simply pours denatured alcohol into a fuel canister beneath the grill top. The stainless canister contains a wool wick that, when ignited, gradually draws alcohol to the surface and provides an even flame, preventing flare-ups or explosions. The stoves are constructed of polished stainless steel, designed for durability and to provide for easy clean-up.
