Origo stove canisters

[Robert Whitehurst]

At least one of the alcohol wick canisters of my Origo stove has corroded on the bottom to the point there is a hole. The stove is obsolete and I have yet to succeed in finding a source for new canisters. Has anybody got ideas of a source?  I’ll be poking in eBay but haven’t spotted one. I’m thinking of how to repair the ones I have. 

I actually use and like the Origo. It doesn’t have the power of a propane stove but it is simple, works, and I don’t want to take on building a gas locker.

I, too, "actually use and like the Origo” but don’t know of a source.  Is the hole small enough or located in an area such that you could lay in some silver-bearing solder?  Not sure that would work but others might know.

If it’s just a pin hole, you may try a mom and pop jewelry store.  They may be able to solder it up for you.  We had an old trophy that the winners of our Past Commodores Regatta traditionally drank out of after the race and it was damaged in Katrina.  For a couple of years, we just let it drool down our fronts, but someone finally took it to our old family owned jewelry store and it’s worked great ever since.  Yes we love the stove, I almost took it out to install on our back porch to serve as an outdoor kitchen.

Unfortunately it’s more than a pin hole.  King of crumbly around the edge of the hole.  I am thinking about getting some thin sheet aluminum and high temp epoxy and basically make a new bottom for the canister if I can’t find replacement ones.
