Bill, alcohol is a reliable fuel that has been used for millenia. Just like camel chips.
That does not mean it is the right fuel for everyone. The facts remain, that it puts out more water vapor from combustion than any other liquid fuel. That it has the lowest combustion heat of any similar fuel (the coldest flame). And that the problems of accidental fires are way disproportionate to any advantages of the fuel--at least, in the minds of most boaters today.
It may boil water well enough for you, but at altittudes, in in high latitutdes and cold wx, there are significant differences. And in a tightly closed boat in humid weather--prolonged use of the alcohol will give you a new appreciation for condensation.
Each to their own, glad you love yours.
