The stove on the left burns alcohol. The alcohol must be more than 85% and the most available form of reasonably priced stove alcohol is methanol in yellow label Heet, found at auto parts stores and gas stations. This works best under 32° F because of the relatively high methanol content. Denatured Alcohol has very little methanol and can be found in the paint section of a hardware store. This works best above 32° F. Isopropyl alcohol can be found with 91-iso alcohol, however this form of alcohol makes more soot on the bottom of the pot. If the pot becomes covered with soot for any reason, the soot can be removed by soaking the bottom of the pot in chafing oil sold at a restaurant supply. I carry my cooking pot in it's own net bag outside my pack, until I can thoroughly clean it at home. I carry it in an odorproof OPSak in bear country.The stove on the right burns white gas or Coleman gas. The windscreen for the white gas stove is different. For that stove, the windscreen needs to be an open cylindrical design. That windscreen should be open around the cooking pot, and, the pot should not be lifted off the white gas until combusion is finished. Using only the amount of fuel you need, is learned from experience. These stoves use 1/2 to 3/4 oz fuel to boil 2 cups water and heat an additional cup of water for washing up. This white camping gas stove may also be used with alcohol. If using alcohol, this stove simmers so nicely it can be used for baking muffins. I selected the Super Stove because of this performance features, and, when the Super Stove is used with the Woodgaz Folding Wood Stove it burns with a double blue flame for an even more fast boil. Each stove weighs 1 oz. The Vargo Titanium 750 Sierra, has a 6" lid diameter that tapers to a 4" base. The total weight with this stove and this windscreen is 4.5 oz.
