Re: [Cal_Boats] mineral spirits stove

My stove uses denatured alcohol. Slightlyu dangerous to light because you have to fill a cup with alcohol and let it heat the burner before it can be used. I'd rather have propane if it were my choice. I would guess mineral spirits would require a similar system as alcohol if I were to bet.

I've heard of using an alcohol "paste" to pre heat the burner. It comes in a tube like tooth paste. You squeeze out about 1/2 inch of it and light it. I believe it is used as a fire starter. Anyone have experience with this? Sure sounds less messy and safer.

How about a some sterno for the purpose? A little dab'll do ya. CAL 25s came through with a 2 burner alcohol stove as standard equipment. We all got rid of them pretty quickly. It's the invisible fire that is scary.

Just found out yesterday that one of my email addresses hadn't been popped by my Outlook since last December. Aarrgghh. There were several thousand messages on the server - far too many to read and respond to. I'd like to apologize to anyone who sent me an email on that address (sw… [at] sbcglobal.net - now working, but not my primary). If it was important, please resend it to my primary email address, which is ro… [at] nvsailing.org and (assuming it clears all the spam filters and it isn't pornographic) I should get it and will respond. Again, apologies to those who probably think, "What a jerk, he didn't even reply!" Thanks. \Rog Cal 29+ #1 Swiss Navy Cal 2-30 #77 St. Lori's Comet
