Thinking about trying with whiskey tomorrow, just curious.
I'll try the stuff I don't like too much, if it works, I can always say that it's not for drinking, it's fuel, Right.

Put some pine sap in it and it'll burn longer............................................ .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ........

I don't have any pine sap, just yet.
Tried cheap whiskey, must be real cheap as it didn't burn worth a %$#@.
Though I had screwed up the stove, but drained it down, let it dry, refilled with HEET and works fine.
Wonder if the wick idea would work to get it lit, to start?
Gonna make another one to try out the oil thing.

There must've been some kind of break in the seal to have allowed it to evaporate like that.
Answers:
#3) I like the aluminum can, and it's hard to beat for weight, ease of use,
ability to locate, etc. But the main reason i settled on the micro was
because of the smaller diameter, much more efficient for the cookware i
use, smaller cookware in general. The micro's flame contacts most
cooking surfaces better, especially items such as a GI canteen cup,etc.
#6) Just light the trixane, and let time do the rest.
Why carry the stove if i have the bars?
Trioxane is an essential item to me, if only to keep foods and/or drink warm, survival heat, cheater fire starter, inexpensive, lightweight etc, etc. However, it would take several bars to accomplish what the micro does in less time, less fumes, less mess, less size, etc, etc. The micro is a full on stove, meaning it will accomplish most cooking requirements, etc, yet is light and small enough that you may forget you have it. As far as fuel for the stove, a couple ounces in a small squeeze bottle is sufficient for a couple meals. I forgot durable. This is some nice aluminum, i would say that the aluminum beer bottles would compare. And i like the flat bottom as it holds more fuel.
