.... Nah, not booze to drink ... <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
but to use in a stove .....

Does it offer any advantage, for use in a 72hr kit or a BOB or in a hiking perspective ?

I have seen a lot of "micro" stove (cat stove a.s.o. ..), using liquid alcool.

How does jellyfied alcohol (sometimes used in restaurants, for small table stoves) compare vs liquid alcohol or Esbit (and the like ..) tabletts, regarding following aspects :
- heating efficiency ?
- risks during transportation ?
- min/max storage temp. ? shelf life ? other storage factors ?
- volume/weight factor ?
- any other comment ?
