My alcohol stove is a Trangia burner, inside of which is a separate aluminum burner that weighs a fraction of an ounce. My stand is two bicycle spoke pieces bent into an inverted "U" and joined at one foot by a crimped .22case, with spoke caps on the free feet. I spread the free feet and get a "V" platform for my Snow Peak Ti solo cooker, which also fits it all inside. I have a foil wind screen.

I've used it at 12,000 feet at 35 degrees and breezy, with good results. It takes about twice as long as my Whisperlight to boil a pot of water, but is much quicker and easier to get going or put away.

I'd never use it for serious cold, water purifying or melting snow, but 500 ml of fuel lasts almost a week for my simple meal preps. My BOB has 22 oz of fuel.
