wnor is on a distinguished road
As suggested above by TrueBlue, I bought a few gallons of alcohol item #400402 from Defender and have used it throughout a busy cruising season without any problems. Good stuff, available, and reasonably priced. And I have to sing, as one lonely voice, the praises of the pressurized alcohol stove. I completely rebuilt my Kenyon stove six years ago (including new burners) and have had absolutely no trouble. On longish trips I carry an unpressurized, single-burner Origo stove as a backup, but I've never had to use it. I find the alcohol consumption of the Kenyon stove to be remarkably low, although it is true that my culinary exploits are largely confined to heating a can of Dinty Moore beef stew. This is a worry-free arrangement, with very little not to like so long as good alcohol remains available at a decent price. Thanks to all for the input.
