hi, i've been looking into a commercial alcohol stove, specifically a vargo triad xe which i like because it can easily us solid fuel tablets, or a vargo decagon, which seems very durable, both stoves have had mixed reviews so i was hoping someone could steer me one way or the other. i'm open to other suggestions as well though i'd like to stick with alcohol because i like how cheap it is and how readily available it is. thanks in advance for any advice

SP,

My personal stove is the Vargo XE. Of course I have all of Vargo's stoves, but I really like the idea that I can drop a fuel tab in there and I'm good. The burn time on the XE is probably a bit longer than the Decagon, about 5 minutes more when running Alcohol. The nice thing about the Decagon, is that there are no moving parts. But thats just about it. My favorite hands down is the XE.
