Alcohol stoves are nice and light but (along with any stove without an off valve) are technically illegal in most national forests and have started forest fires. If you spill one it is almost a guaranteed forest fire as you have invisible flame everywhere. Personally I'm a fan of isobutane models after years of fighting with white gas models.
