[pct-l] alcohol stove

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

The "best" is either HEET in the yellow bottle or denatured alcohol  
in a metal can. Some places (hardware stores) will sometimes sell the  
alcohol to thru-hikers by the ounce so you don't even have to buy a  
whole can. It is so easy to obtain it is sometimes even given away  
for free in hiker boxes or from trail angels. The free kind is the  
best kind. The yellow HEET is available pretty much everywhere  
because it's the Pacific CREST Trail and you are at high altitude  
most of the time.
