The designs, techniques and concepts found on this site were inspired by so many sources that undoubtedly many of the true inventors, creators, and publishers will be missed. This list is far from complete, but strives to credit those wonderful folks who have made contributions to backpacking stoves.
Alcohol as a fuel
Alcohol has been used for well over a hundred years in prefabricated portable stoves as either the main fuel or to preheat stoves that use a different main fuel.
Chemistry labs use alcohol burners as a heat source for experiments.
Alcohol stoves designed for the military are used by both non-military outdoorsman and the military of many different countries in Europe. In fact, the Swedish Trangia stoves that are just catching on in the U.S. market are nice versions of the military versions.
