After making a few copy's of Zelph's Starlyte, I began to wonder which was better, a pressurized Bud can or non pressured Starlyte. I suspected a small difference but the result was interesting. If one is only boiling 1 cup or 2 cups of water for meals which would be better in the field?
So with one cup of water and a 1/2 oz of wood alcohol would one stove stand out?

Starlyte
4.5 minutes 210 degrees (Boiled)
5.5 minutes burned out.
Bud can
3 Minutes 171degrees
a pop and burned out (never boiled)
Any thoughts? The bud is burning too fast for a good transfer.
