White gas packs more BTUs per volume/weight than alcohol, but the heavy container used because the fuel must be pressurized makes gas actually heavier to carry for short periods of time. Since I resully every few days alcohol ends up being the lighter option. I carry an 8 oz alcohol bottle and that can last over a week. Also, in cases like this day's when fuel was not available by the ounce, I can always stop by a gas station and buy a bottle of yellow Heet to use. It's a bit wasteful as I don't need 12 oz, but I can usually find someone else who needs some alcohol.Allen Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00129490831908095997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19258195.post-5377775888927184352009-05-05T09:39:00.000-04:002009-05-05T09:39:00.000-04:00Okay.

I got this stove mostly as a backup for power outages, so I wasn't too worried about weight although it is a backpack stove -- not a traditional camp stove. Was weight a limiting factor in not making this choice for your stove? It seems like the flexibility in obtaining fuel would have made sense if all else was equal.<br /><br />-TerryTD Mehlmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04714289400229779868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19258195.post-41132709114215113242009-05-04T07:20:00.000-04:002009-05-04T07:20:00.000-04:00hey dad,
