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.

I think this is the consensus of the sailing community over in
rec.boats.cruising.  They tend to favor propane and the like and kerosene I
think.
