Great advice from everyone. I switched to an open pot stand and managed to get a much faster boil (about 7.5 min) with 0.625 oz of Everclear. I think my stand my be a bit too high so I’ll shorten it to have the pot about 1.75″ above the flame which should also help.
I’m general I just don’t like the idea of canister stoves. With alcohol, esbit, wood, and liquid fuel stoves there’s never anything to throw away. But it seems that once a canister is empty the only thing to do is puncture it and trash it.
