If I use a pot stand so the upper ring of jest on the Evernew stove ignite I get boil times of 4 mins for 2 cups of water. However this uses 0.75 oz of ethanol, so I just sit my mug on top of the stove, blocking off the upper ring of jets and giving me a 5 to 7 min boil for 0.5 oz of ethanol. This shows that stove configuration is as important in energy density when figuring out efficiency.
