Contour Cookmate stove

[Pops]

I need to replace the stove on my H27. I have pretty much decided to order the cookmate 4200. It appears to be copy of the orego alcohol pressure less stove. In fact Swego who distributes the Orego also distributes it. Does anyone have any experience with this stove? It is $200 less than the Orwego. Thanks very much.

Be aware the alchol stoves can cause a great amount moisture in the cabin. The fuel has a lot of water in it. It can condense on the surfaces rather quickly. Otherwise, I like my Origo pretty well.

This is true of propane and diesel stoves as well....since any of these fuels—propane, alcohol or diesel—will result in a lot of water and carbon dioxide as combustion by-products.

Woodster: I am thinking of buying this stove model. From the pictures, it looks like there is a ledge about 2" up from the bottom where the whole stove could clunk into a rectangular slot. Is this true? Any more comments about operation?
