Re: [Paddlewise] alcohol stove ?

I once used an alcohol stove, a Swedish brand very popular
in Europe, as it comes with a bunch of pots and utensils the
pack with the stove in very little space.

It took me 45 minutes to bring 1 liter of water to boil, while
with my butane stove I would take me less than 10.

I suspect that the BTU of alcohol is very low.
