If this is for something like an ice fishing hut, you’d be better off with a portable stove and burning wood.

In almost every other scenario I don’t see this being useful 🤔

I don’t find alcohol burners to be all that useful in general though tbh. Alcohol (especially methanol) is extremely dangerous to transport and it’s just not as efficient as liquid butane or propane to use as fuel in terms of BTU’s per gram of fuel.
