if you come up with another fuel for that stove you may as well just buy a stove to match the fuel,alcohol-get a Trangia burner,so on.
here is my off-the-wall idea.first off the Germans in WW2 had Esbit stoves and they were a treasured bit of gear even with no tabs to go with them.on the Eastern Front where the stove was just about a life saver no tabs were coming on the supply trains,it was all ammo and fuel.
that folding stove however was a dry place to set anything that would burn,had a bit of a windshield and a pot rest.that means you did not have to fool around making those things.
now what i would have you try is to carry that stove around and find fuel for it.no joke,you don't have to light it if you don't want to or are someplace where you can't like a bus stop.
there should be a world of litter,man made or natural that you could put a flame too and feed under the pot as it burns down.
that what survival is all about,making do,you can of course pack away some sort of fuel as a back-up when nothing else is at hand to burn.
