Look into rubbing alcohol stoves. I took an old tin can cut the top off and drilled some holes in it for air intake and I use 70%(I think that is the correct %age) rubbing alcohol for all my cooking at home and on the road. I just used a piece of welded wire mesh to make a pot stand, may change this over shortly to using a bigger tin can cut in fashion to still allow air intake and to also allow the support necessary to keep the pan 'on the stove'. The big secret is the pot stand. You need pretty much right at 1 inch separation between the top of the stove and the bottom of the pot to help minimize/eliminate any sooting up of the pot. The rubbing alcohol is easier to find than the Heet and you get more of it for less money.
