you wrote," I read that these are mainly used for bringing dehydrated mails to a boil and are not ideal for meals that need simmering. "
to which I reply:
It is super easy to get most all alcohol stoves to simmer by adding a bit of water to the fuel after it is burning.  After I get a boil, I remove the pot and dribble in some water which gives me a simmer.  
My favorite thing to simmer is whole grain/germ included cornmeal mush.  It is like rocket fuel for hiking if it is not degermed.  If you want to try this, add the cornmeal to the water when cold or you will get lumps.  Get a boil, simmer a few to five minutes, cover and let carry over cooking finish, in a cozy or not.
