[pct-l] Mini Alcohol Stove.

Great web page.  I may have another project now.  I haven't used an alcohol
stove yet, but in order to make plans to, how much alcohol do I carry?  I
boil almost three cups of water per meal.  My longest time between
resupplies is five days.

Thanks
Warner Springs Monty
