Thank you for your answers
In many places of the world, including the U.S., there are restrictions on open fires during their fire seasons. A wood burning stove is considered an open fire in many places. You need to do some research about fire closures and the laws in the places you plan on riding. In the U.S. you can be responsible for suppression costs of any fire you cause. Talk about breaking your budget!
Alcohol stoves are also considered an open fire, because when tipped the burning fuel spreads out. Why not just get a cannister stove and be done with it?
