Nothing was said about noise! I’ve just crossed over from a canister to an alcohol Trangia just because of noise. I hate noise when I’m out there. I hike for solitude and nature, to be out there.

I used Heet (the yellow bottle variety) for about a year in my Vargo Triad stove, then switched to 190 proof Everclear. It burns extremely well and can be utilized for medicinal purposes or a bit of trailside mixology when paired with the powdered drink mix of your choice.

They both have their place in backpacking. My preference is the alcohol stove ( Evernew titanium burner ) and the wood burning Firebox titanium Gen 2 stove. With wood I can gather the fuel when in camp. When using the alcohol I use food grade alcohol ( Everclear [190 prof ] or Diesel [156 proof] from the liquor store ) . It serves as fuel , a disinfectant and if wanted , even as a beverage when diluted. My canister stove is for use during hurricanes , power outages , and around the house. It's to darn noisy when operating and wrecks the piece and quiet of the woods.

Most alcohol stoves can be put out when you're done and remaining fuel poured back to use for the next boil

SLX is half methanol, which is very poisonous and should never be used as an antiseptic!

Esbits are great for super ultralight backpacking, however they blacken the bottom of your pot and the tabs smell like rotten fish. Each cooking system is great for different trips and applications. You didn’t even touch on a firebox....slackers. 😂 😆 😝

Please do not put alcohol on any kind of open wound! You should bring salt, that's really the best thing to disinfect the area without killing the tissue that the good bacteria needs to latch onto.

Most people are going with gas, but there's something I like about alcohol. Part of it is those cannisters seem so wasteful. There is obviously a disconnect with those things and reality. How could this metal have to be taken out of the ground and molded for 1 use compared to dumping some alcohol into a reusable stove. They are basically a hazard because they are explosive. There only has to be a tiny amount of pressure left in them and they will explode in a fire. Like people are so busy they can't wait a few extra minutes for a boil. It's a camping trip.

I have used Esbit cubes on the trail.

I have three alcohol stoves. Two from Mini bull designs and one DIY cat stove. The weight savings outweigh the ease of use of the canister set up. I use HEET in the yellow bottle. Been thinking of getting a canister stove just to add to the collection. Thanks for the video.

I am a huge fan of alcohol stoves, but local restrictions keep me from using one on the regular. I have become a canister cook because of the control offered. I bring an esbit stove as an emergency backup or a Lixada wood vapor stove when I am allowed fires. Great video and good conversation about pros / cons of each.

Last fall, I was section hiking the Superior Hiking Trail. That evening, there were three of us at camp. A thru-hiker, a 2 week hiker & me. All of us had different cook systems, alcohol, canister & esbit cubes. The young lady who was out for 2 weeks was the one with the esbit cubes. She cooked knorr rice side with jerky and spinach looked really good. It did take a little longer, but she felt it was the lighter cheaper option.

I used Esbit for the entire 10 days and 103 miles I did on the LT last year (SoBo). My friend (who was hiking with me) continued SoBo after I got off and finished the trail using Esbit the entire time. It burns a tad hotter than alcohol and IMO is easier to measure (or not worrying about measuring) for each use. Also, it can usually be mailed for resupplies way easier than canister stoves.
