Thanks for the find. I didn’t realize Hikin Jim did the numbers. This is a guy with hundreds of gas stoves --- now loving the alcy stove!

Some of the stand out quotes:
“So, in conclusion, with a conventional upright gas stove, gas can be lighter at the start of a trip, but alcohol is always lighter by the end of a backpacking trip. In terms of the average difference in weight throughout the trip, alcohol is almost always lighter. If you're looking to save weight, alcohol stoves are a pretty good bet.”
“I use alcohol on all my solo backpacking trips because it is so much lighter -- and the chance of a mechanical failure is almost zero.”
“The mechanical reliability and zen-like silence of alcohol stoves is something I really like.”

I can vouch that everything he said is right on. Actually I knew that for the last 12 years
And I use alcy when I’m sharing with a family member. You just double the numbers and alcy is still lighter.
