    Ridge - If you are interested in alcohol then look at the Trangia stove. The are small and incredibly cheap. I have one and I really like mine. It would probably fit your stove just fine. The big killer to alcohol is the wind but the design you have would resolve that issue. You can pick one up for less than $20. Just the basic burner.

    Isn't Everclear that high potency stuff that transcients used to get downtown? Comes in a pint bottle as I recall.

    Thanks Rick.. I'll look into that. I have a small single burner stove made by exponent that screws into a pressurized fuel can but it is always good to have a back up...

    I am also looking for a small coffee pot. about 3 inches across by 4 inches tall with the basket and perk innards. I'll probably have to look on the net as I can't find one that size locally. It is for coffee while I build a real fire..

    Today, I tried making a small alcohol burner by using an altoids tin can.. didn't work.. but it had design problems... Duuhh.. read the plans for one before attempting this on your own... I overdrilled and the rubbing alcohol (not a good fuel but ok for testing) ran out the bottom and all over the bench.. easy cleanup as I just burned it off.. but?? never try this at home..

    Of course, if you want to be vogue, you would need to carry a French coffee press, a grinder and/or an espresso maker....all specially made for the backpacker.

    Regarding flame/heat efficiency: I've been told the hottest part of the flame is the top of the inner flame. A match flame has an outer orange flame, and inner whiter flame and the hottest part is the top of the whiter inner flame. I would imagine an alcohol flame has something similar but I never noticed it before.

    Some pretty good information regarding flame, color, and temperature, and the why of it:

    A good example of what you are referring to regarding non-luminous flames can be found on this page:
