If you are using the denatured alcohol like from a paint dept. in Lowe?s or Home Depot you should not have any trouble boiling a whole pot of water. (I understood you to say you were using the Swedish Army surplus stove) I have several of them and they cook like crazy for me. Even the ones I make out of Coke cans will easily boil water. I made one out of a steel can about twice the size of a tuna can that boiled a covered pot with over two cups of water in it dry during a test. <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
