I may be one of the few people who actually made comparative tests of alcohol stoves. You can make one by stuffing fiberglass in a cup or the bottom of a soda can, adding 1 to two ounces of denatured alcohol and lighting it off. No holes to drill, filler ports to drill or other fancy crap and guess what? it has the same heat output as the pressure alcohol stoves. Doesn't look as sexy though.

But you may want to look at a leave no trace wood stove. There are a few out there. Two and a half ounces of twigs will cook your dinner and you don't have to carry any fuel.
