[Public-List] stoves

[Meinhold, Michael J.]

I like alcohol for the following reasons
  safe storage and use-  evaporates readily into a lighter-than-air gas
  multi-use - fuel, charcoal starter, antiseptic, solvent (sadly
denatured removing another use)
  quirky - takes skill and practice to use properly (still developing
myself)
  readily available - any hardware store, home store, marine store

I have used the pressurized alcohol, a butane, a non pressurized
alcohol, and  portable propane.  I stopped using the butane because of
the cost of fuel, limited burn time and in Canada it is not legal to use
as the only source for cooking.  My pressurized alcohol was difficult to
start and keep burning plus it disintergrated.  The propane portable as
a cook top again is not legal and the gas is heavier that air.
Currently I am using the non pressurized alcohol installed cook top that
works well burns for a long time, cheap fuel but does not have the BTU's
that other types have. 
I would not recomend the pressurized alcohol
