Let me post some numbers against that.
One gallon 128 ounces. Thats 4.266 ounces every day for thirty days.1 ounce of alcohol will boil 2 cups of water
Thats 8.5 cups of boiled water per day using alcohol as a fuel or 76.8 minutes of burn time each and every day.


1 ounce of white gas boils 1.5 liters of water
Thats 6.4 liters of boiled water per day using white gas as a fuel or 30 minutes of burn time each and every day.

You don't need a more effecient stove - you need to change what you're doing.






Sounds right to me. simple enough. And anyone boiling water to purify needs lessons.
