<p>Pack stoves come in a variety of flavors, consuming white gas, denatured alcohol, propane, wood, gels, unleaded, kerosene... etc.</p>

<p>Given the assumption that I will be carrying all the fuel I need (no wood collecting), and that all stoves weigh the same (big assumption, but for the sake of the discussion, lets try it...) <em>which one provides the highest heat-output per gram of fuel?</em> </p>

<p>If we consider the weight of non-reusable containers, does that significantly change things?</p>

<p>Is any one significantly bulkier?</p>
