BTW, I also pretty much completely agree with Pliny, even though about 90% of the time in the non-winter season I am an alcohol stove user..

1) At more than about 6-7 person-days for me boiling 3 cups of water for breakfast and 3 for dinner, my snow peak canister stove has a lighter max weight than alcohol. i.e. I start carrying less.

2) Alcohol is fussier, but I have an *easier* time with alcohol when it's down to a few degrees below freezing. I find isopro canisters a PITA in the cold.

3) Caveat all that, once it's a lot colder, I'm a white gas guy

Realisticly though, anything will work as long as you are prepared to deal with it.
