Well, I found myself with a little free time on my hands recently, so I decided to do a little alcohol stove experimenting.
I got myself an 8" cast iron pan (clearly weight isn't an issue here) and diced up a tater and a couple cheese smokies that were leftover from fishing yesterday, and then cracked an egg on top of that mess at the end and then threw the works into a couple buns.
All said and done it worked very well, and I don't think it took much longer than it would on any other kind of stove (without burning my lunch), though I do acknowledge that this was done under ideal conditions in my basement.
Taters
Taters and diced up smokies
+1 egg (should have had 2)
And the whole mess on a bun 
I could handle doing breakfast something like this in the tent while ice fishing for sure.
I used a penny can stove with some 1/2" wire mesh for a pan stand. No idea how much fuel was used but I got it all cooked in one fill of the stove.

I forgot to add, Uncle Ben's fast & fancy rice or whatever it is works well on the little alcohol burner as well

I know its not an alcohol stove, However, I still wanted to share, My wife and I were out all day today , She made us Sausage and Scrambled Eggs in the Morning, And Grilled Cheese sandwich's for lunch,
I found a pretty cool little stove attachment that goes onto those mini Propane tanks, Worked very well, Cant wait to try something new in it next time
New Attachment !
Maple Sausage and Egg!

Does anyone besides MEC have the stoves in Calgary. Their anti-hunting stance puts them on my "only if I have to" vendor list.

You bet, if anyone is looking for some alcohol stoves like the one I sold Jay just send me a pm, I have about 10 of them new in the box right now Plus if your in the Edmonton area I have a few other types of stoves that I could set a person up with if they want to stop by and have a look

I am in Calgary but I have some family up North, and I am not in a huge rush I have about 100 of those canned heats, The one with the wick.
I guess how much wick you pull out determines the flame the first test it took 15 min to boil 2 cup of water, inside! So a little slow. I was amazed on how efficient the meta 50 cook set is with the heat. it seemed to suck up most of the BTU's the canned heat was putting out.
