good link.

I've referenced the zenstoves site many times. it has helpful info on all the different kinds of fuel, as well as the pros and cons of the various kinds of alcohol fuels.
I have Coleman propane canisters and a 2-burner portable stove for bugin or car camping.
but got some Trangia alcohol burners for BOBs, with a knockoff for the GHB. I like that the fuel (alcohol) is cheap, very easy to find and less likely to be sold out than the canisters in an emergency. I also find the alcohol burner lighter, easier, more flexible and more portable than a canister stove.
however I know that some people swear by things like the jetboil and the pocket rocket.
