I may be one of the few people who actually made comparative tests of alcohol stoves.

A friend of mine has made well over 40 alcohol stoves, of various configurations, to see what worked best. I'm glad HE did it. I don't have that kind of patience. He especially likes the one he built using the larger sized "Guinness" cans. He was able to get a good 15+ minute burn with one filling of fuel. This stove boiled 2 cups of water in about 3 minutes.
