People on this site seem to have lots of experience of alcohol stoves. So, how does it perform in the very cold? I'm think down to around -20C. How efficient is alcohol for snow melting? Does this use up huge quantities of fuel?
I've always used petrol stoves in the past but I now don't have one and gas just doesn't like the cold. Petrol stoves are very expensive so I really don't want to buy another. Also they're a real problem for flying. I could take a new one, still on the box on the outward journey but then what do you do coming home?
So, I'm just looking at the alternative.
