Alcohol stoves
+fuel is dirt cheap
+generally absolutely bombproof by design
+quiet
+works with pretty much any pots or pans you have
-heavier
-weight of fuel
gas stoves
+fast as fuck boiii (who needs boiling water om less than a minute)
- needs brand specific pots or pans
- fuel cannisters aren't available in literally every small town store
- sounds like a jet engine

so, the only thing they have going is boiling water faster?
