My vote is for the Non-pressurized alcohol. Specificaly the Origo.
I have an Origo 2 burner w/ the oven and it is gimballed. The stove/oven work well and are easy to light,refill, and keep in top working order. Very few moving parts. Easy maintenence. No explosion issues ever. no "Tank" to fill and wonder how much is left. The fuel is available at all kinds of stores- paint supply,hardware,home repair, I've even found it in grocery stores. So re-fueling is plentiful more than propane.
I noticed if you fail to replace the neopreme cover disks on the burner after use that your fuel will evaporate between uses. Also , when baking it is important to fill the burner with only the amount of alcohol necesary to comoplete the baking session to minimize evaporation loss.
Condensation is usually not an issue as in a 30-40' boat you need ventalation when cooking anyhow.
