[Paddlewise] Cooking with alcohol

Nope, not referring to flambed crepes, etc. The discussion about Trangia 
stoves raised this question in my mind. Over the last few years I've 
become increasingly adventurous with my Outback Oven, churning out 
pizzas, pies and even bread on kayaking trips (It bemuses my wife that I 
don't cook much at home, where it's easy, but make it a challenge...)
Anyway, I've been doing okay with my MSR International, and had been 
considering upgrading to a their new Dragonfly, because of its very 
precise simmer control (I've used a loaner Dragonfly for baking, with 
great results.) 
But, I've just remembered I've got an old Trangia in the closet. It 
seems to me the low heat output would be a virtue rather than a problem 
for baking, plus it would be silent (white gas stoves roar like the jets 
they are - destroying much of the tranquillity you've worked so hard to 
get to), and best of all the price would be right - free vs. a hundred 
dollars or so. 
So does anyone on the list have actual experience with the 
Trangia/Outback Oven combination?
