RE: [pct-l] Alcohol stove contest

I think automatic first place should go to the person who can invent a
multi-alcohol fueled stove wherein the user can also utilize the
fuel for (environmentally sound of course) secondary purposes .
For example, vodka martinis, Shots, and rum based fuels come
to mind at the moment..hic

Just kidding.
