Light idea - Alcohol stoves - Update

I tested the alcohol stove today and was very impressed. It was 4 degrees in the garden and the stove managed to bring a litre of cold water to a rolling boil in 8 minutes - using under 40ml of meths and my Vargo 1.3 litre non-stick pot and lid.

The primer disk gets the stove going in a matter of seconds compared to almost a minute without it,

This would be enough water for a typical FBC meal and a pint of tea.

So a 2 night weekend trip with a cooked breakfast and dinner should use about 200ml (about 200g).
