If my terrible memory serves me right you use the regular nipple for gas and kerosene. You use a special nipple and a restrictor tube for alcohol. The 199 is an amazing stove, perhaps a bit overpowered for the stove size.

Burning alcohol will work fine, but the heat output will not be nearly what you get with gas or kerosene.
