[pct-l] jet boil

[Ellen Shopes]

I have 2 alcohol stoves, one homemade and one  bought.  Both will boil a 
liter of water in about 10 minutes (=2 fluid oz of alcohol).
One does learn to use tricks to make the single fuel burn work.  In addition 
to a cozy, I soak most things for 10-15 min before cooking.  If an item 
(pasta/rice) says it needs 7-10 minutes of cooking, generally it will cook 
with a pre-soak, heat to boil, and set in cozy.
They're definitely not as efficient as my white gas stove, so fuel weight 
needs to be considered when looking at total weight of the system.
