Yep, I agree. I used 1 ounce of fuel for each meal and that amounted, mostly, of heating about 16 ounce of cold water outdoors on a trip. I foolishly miscalculated the amount of fuel I needed, but before I started cooking on the campfire some of my party took pity on me and heated some water on their stove for me. I find an alcohol stove takes much more patience (ie, time and fussing with fuel) but in the end works, But the fuel is heavy for a long trip because it takes almost twice as much fuel (by wt.) as my canister stove (Primus Micro). And...I don't mind carrying out the canisters because at the end of the week my pack is extremely light anyway.
