One of the first search hits smile Mountaineering stove efficiency: MSR DragonFly and XGK vs Optimus Nova vs Primus Omnifuel

ok, its a bar chart in kW, so if you want actual btu, 1 kW is 3412.1416 BTU/h -- good luck estimating the numbers smile

The thing that disturbs me about that comparison is that they state that efficiency increases as you turn the stove up higher. That makes no sense. Generally, a stove's efficiency decreases as you turn the stove up. I wonder if they reversed the numbers?
