>>331650>Nope...alcohol cooks just as fast as gas.fail. gas is much faster. buy a modern gas stove and test run it.
The biggest downside to unpressurised alcohol stoves is that they only produce about half the heat output of a white gas, butane or propane stove. This means cooking times are slower and you need to carry more fuel.
plus butane-gas is almost without odour. I hate the smell of alcohol / ethanol in the morning.
