My very crude rule of thumb is it takes twice the amount of alcohol to perform the equivalent cooking as done on a canister stove.

Happy experimenting!


I still haven't found an efficient plan to make a windscreen. I could take aluminum foil on every trip, and plant sticks around the stove then wrap the foil around it... Otherwise I don't know how to make a reusable and non-bulky windscreen. Good thing I don't work in product and development. grin
