2-Burner alcohol stove - Cabinet

[Pat]

We are now well into September and my canisters are still lighting....filled onee in April....filled again in early August....never did actually quit working....now that I think about it...I probably over fill them a bit.....does not affect the flame one iotta....they will burn well beyond 30 minutes....more like 2 hours.....we can cook Canadian bacon, hash browns, eggs and sauce and make egg's benedict for 11 or 12 people ...then use again the next weekend without re-filling....I'm impressed by the
Origo system....so I my wife.....I've never had a canister go out when being used....

You should not overfill them as the alcohol can overflow and cause a flareup. Fill them according to the manufacturers directions and you will be fine.

By the way: you should be getting more than 2 hours out of a canister. Are you placing a rubber gasket over the canisters when you are not using the stove? If not, then you are losing a good deal of your fuel to evaporation.

Alan, I never over fill them visibly...always can see inside the canisters...probably 1/2 cup more than the minimum...I really think they are good stoves....we do use the rubber gaskets on the canisters....I have to remind my wife to remove the gaskets.
