stove I am always cognizant that alcohol can leak or
spill.Sterno,on the otherhand is like a jellied alcohol
and won't spill.When you're done you can put the lid
on it.One can runs about two hours.I have not done a
test yet but assuming 10 minutes to boil water for the
ziplock bag meal and a cuppa joe then I figure about
a dozen uses per can.For a pretty reliable backup, I wonder
why nobody ever even considers it?Doesn't seem to be the
weight to me but obviously it must be the consensus of
the community that it is.Anyone care to comment?
