  The Windscreen will be wider than 1.87" in diameter or 8.94" in circumference. The wind screen will adjust to a larger circumference. You can use a pop with a large diameter. The 6 minute boil time is for a quart or liter.

  Methyl Hydrate (methanol) is a great fuel for alcy stoves! 99.9% pure. It's the best! Get it at any paint department.

  Denatured wood alcohol. You can get this at a local paint store.

- A:
  You can use Denatured Alcohol, yellow bottles of "Heet", or Grain Alcohol (more expensive).
  Be aware that the flame will be very hard to see during daylight hours (better if you add a small pinch of salt to the fuel), and try not to spill/knock the stove over ;-)
