If using Everclear, it needs to be the really high percentage stuff. My first stove was an alcohol one (Safesport) that preceded, but similar burner configuation, to beverage can stoves. At low altitude I could burn 70% isopropyl alcohol, but when I was at Yellowstone, not winter but a cold day, I think I was between 5000 and 7000 feet elevation, stove wouldn't stay lit. I promptly bought a Whisperlite Int'l after that trip and gave the alcohol stove and a can of 100% methanol to a relative that lives about 10 feet over sea level, for emergencies.
