what about the trangia alcohol burner? you can control the flame with the simmer 
cap as well as save unused fuel with the other cap. if you use the clik stand 
with the trangia stove, it provides a very stable support. this is the system i 
use.

FWIW, when there were backcountry fire bans, most of the ranger districts in 
Colorado
and nearby WY did not allow alcohol stoves either.

Canister and white gas stoves were the only ones allowed.

I actually went stoveless on a couple of trips this summer due to the alcohol 
stove bans.

It is a good solution that can work for certain hikers IMO.
